Write about the following topic. Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with?

To begin
with, due to technological advancement,
advertisements
have taken a new place globally in 2021. In ancient times, there was no
such
thing as TV
/
Internet to broadcast
advertisement
. I believe that the concept of
advertisement
arose after the industrial revolution and it has its own pros and cons.
Firstly
, to introduce, an
advertisement
means any form of displaying
/
highlighting a
product
of a specific brand to the target audience in order to increase sales
/
revenue. Many multinational companies like Nike, Apple, Walmart, Samsung, Mcdonalds, etc. use
advertisements
as a major source of attraction to customers. Due to the recent technological advancement, the above-mentioned companies can now successfully advertise their
products
on TV, mobile phones, tablets,
ipads

pads
, laptops
/
MacBooks, or any other device that has an access to the Internet. I think that
advertisement
has a
lot
of benefits.
In addition
, when using the internet a
person
can easily view any new
product
that suits an individual's demand, and that reduces the time and effort for an individual to walk into the store and see the actual
product
.
For example
, if a
person
wants to buy a new phone, a
person
can actually access a particular brand's website and compare different features offered by different models of a phone and
then
land on a decision.
Moreover
, a
person
can
also
buy the
product
(s) online and get the
product
(s) delivered to his
/
her place without even walking into the store.
This
saves a
lot
of time that can

in other significant areas. In contradiction, I agree that, nowadays,
advertisements
are designed in a way that attracts customers and a majority of the
times

people end up buying
products
that are nonessential.
For instance
, a
lot
of customers end up buying new phones even if they have the ones that can

their requirements.
Additionally
, I
also
believe that
advertisements
of beauty
products
that are represented by a model (who has a perfect face
/
body) demonstrate that the
product
can actually work.
However
, a majority of the time,
that is
not the case.
Furthermore
, due to these
advertisements
, a
lot
of the female population feel very ashamed
/
uncomfortable about their body
/
face as they believe that they do not have the perfect one. And
therefore
, they switch to those
products
that are advertised by models who have perfect bodies and faces believing that the
product
will actually help them to get a perfect body and face.
Thus
, to conclude,
advertisements
have a
lot
of advantages as well as disadvantages. But after careful consideration, I believe that
advertisements
encourage people to buy
products
that are nonessential.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
