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
The advantages of the promotion of the products are often a topic to debate. While some
people
 believe that advertising becomes more and more prevalent so that
people
 don't pay attention to
this
, I, like many others, argue that it is crucial for the company to easily persuade
customers
 to buy their
goods
. On the one hand,
people
 believe that advertising now become common to promote new things. The main reason for
this
 is that it becomes saturated with a large number of promotion campaigns made by
companies
.
Therefore
,
people
 are not interested in their
goods
 and they don't want to buy these things.
Moreover
, more and more advertisements are not invested by the
companies
 so it is poor content and not attracted potential
customers
.
On the other hand
, others argue that advertising is successful to make
people
 buy things by persuading them to buy those. For one thing, huge
companies
 have a team that
people
 research the demand of the
customers
.
Consequently
, they make appropriate promotions to approach potential buyers to buy their
goods
. To be more precise,
companies
 originally carry out a survey to understand the need of
customers
, create a logical advertisement and consider the price affordably.
As a result
, their promotions are unique and become more attractive for came-across
people
 to buy their products. In general,
although
 advertising nowadays is believed to be prevalent and cannot make
people
 pay attention to it, it is a crucial role to help many
companies
 to promote their
goods
 and make the potential
customers
 believe in the advantages of the
goods
.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
