In their advertising, businesses nowadays usually emphasise that their products are new in some way. Why is this? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

These days, many advertisements focus on emphasising that the
products
 are new. Even though It is helpful to catch
people
's attention, I believe it can make the opposite respond. In
this
 essay, I will discuss why many companies focus on emphasising “new” and show my opinion. First of all, the reason why the emphasis is on the word “new” is because it is eye-catching among a number of advertisements. The more competition

 advertising is getting fierce, the harder it is to catch the consumer’s interest.
Consumers
 tend to react to something new because

 have a desire and curiosity about new things. Eventually,

Moreover

 image. To make something new the
company
 has to keep innovating and developing their
products
.
Besides
, to make it better the brand has to observe
consumers
. It makes a good impression that the
company
 keeps progressing and listening to consumer’s voices.
Finally
, the positive

 to buy their

.
However
, I believe there are a few negative effects that could be involved. As the competition

 advertising is getting aggressive, the term “new” is abused. It becomes not special but rather ordinary.
This
 way of advertising does not work anymore and
then
 the
company
 has to find another way to make advertisement effective.
Furthermore

Therefore
, it is really important to know how often to use the term for new. In conclusion, emphasising that their

 are new is becoming a trend and getting common. It stands out to

 and works to make a positive

Therefore

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
