Some people say that advertising is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things. Other people think advertising is so common that we no longer pay attention to it. Discuss Both views and give your opinion.

Few
people
believe that advertisements are very successful to make consumers buy things. Many
people
think that it is a common method to attract buyers. In my opinion,
although
most of the time advertising is a good way to sell
products
sometimes it adds great value in
life
.
On the other hand
, companies are trying so hard to sell their
products
, that they overstate the true quality or unique functions.
For example
, some skincare
products
can have a good advertisement, but they can
also
be harmful to some
people
's skin. Corporations are trying to talk someone into buying their goods even if they do not need them.
Thus
, fewer
people
pay attention to them in the modern world.
On the other hand
, advertisements may help you to improve your
life
or make it easier.
For example
, I saw an ad on the Internet one year ago about a very interesting and inexpensive vacation to Paris for three days. I and my family love travelling,
Moreover
, we did some research and looked more into it and made reservations.
This
advertisement made my
life
happier and gave me wonderful memories. In conclusion,
although
some
people
think advertisements have a high success rate in selling
products
others believe that it is now too general a way to draw peoples attention. In my opinion, advertising is really a good way to draw peoples attention to selling
products
and sometimes it adds some great value to
life
.

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.
