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?
Advertisements make our lives easier from time to time. I do not think that ads force us to buy unnecessary things. On the contrary, they are targeted to inform us about new products that are indispensable for the improvement of our lives. They tell us about technological advancements or innovations. We can also follow fashion, and eat healthier food thanks to the ads.
Advertisement is the first source to keep us informed about new technology that brings a number of advantages to us. Without ads we would not know if there is new kind of household utilities, new cell phones or computers. In fact, I have learned about a Net-book, a 3G technology for cell phones, and washing-machines from ads that caused to change my way of life in a positive way.
Ads also make it easier to follow the latest fashion. We know which type of clothes is in vogue without leaving our house due to ads. What is more, they can provide us with the up-to-date discounts in well-known shops of our city. In such a case, it would be great to take these chances, and to wear brand clothes that many people desire to have. This opportunity is given to us only by ads
.
Last but not least, the way to our health passes through advertisement. Today, there are certain food products that are dangerous for our whole body that we are unaware. I am convinced that ads provide us with products of high quality. As a matter of fact, I have not seen any side-affects of the products bought after ads, because ads show quality products to attract buyers rather than to lose them.
On the whole, advertisement is advantageous in many ways. I cannot imagine our life without them, because in such a case, we would not improve regularly. Our awareness of new technology, new discounts, and reliable food depend on advertisements. I am certain that ads are the integral part of our life in modern day world that will give us further privileges.

Kitos. 8.5/10
Thanks Kitos. I have a question.
In such a case, it would be great to take these /chances/OPPORTUNITIES/, and to wear brand NEW clothes that many people desire to have. This opportunity is given to us only by ads. - In this first sentence I used “chances”- in order to avoid repetition, because I have used the word opportunity in the second sentence. My concern is about the first sentence that can I use the word “chances” there or not. I mean is that word appropriate there or it is irrelevant one? how would be repetition, as far as I am concerned repetition weakens the essay.
thanks in advance.
You could have used the word twice Kleo. Alternatively you could have used, offerings, offers,
reductions, promotional discounts, … I’m sure there are others.
