Band 7

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

#people #attention
There is an argument about advertising. One
group
 thinks advertising is the most successful and persuading way to buy things. Another says that it is out of the trend and no attention to it. Personally, I agree with the latter
group
. For the former
group
, they may think that all the advertisements are trustable.
Therefore
, they truly believe every single thing stated in the advertisement and make them buy the goods or services.
Additionally
, the way of
brand
 marketing is to hire a well-known
brand
 ambassador or presenter, which would make
people
 purchase and trust the
brand
 more because those
people
 are famous and high profile.
In contrast
, the latter
group
 may have the opposite opinion. They may think that advisement on TV or social media is an old fashion, and can be found everywhere.
Furthermore
, some of the advertising is fake, which could make
people
 no longer pay attention.
For example
, there are so many brands of whitening creams in online shops and all of the states in the ads that consumers will be brightened within 3 days. It is obviously fake information that a lot of
people
 could notice.
Consequently
, they have no more interest in listening to
this
 kind of ad. In my opinion, I am one of the latter
group
 that has no more interest in
commercial
Fix the agreement mistake
commercials
show examples
 because I have seen numerous fake information in those advertisements.
Moreover
, I mostly trust the real consumers who have actually used the goods/ services before rather than believing the advertising from the owner
brand
.
Therefore
, it unsuccessfully persuades me to buy things. In conclusion, both groups have different views on advertising. I personally think that today's advertisements are not motivated
people
 to buy things like the review of the actual consumers.
