此类题目是典型的blended essay的写法,开头结尾相对容易,body paragraphs分为两段展开,按照题目提问的先后顺序:首先,第一问可以写广告所带来的诸多benefits,比如:广告让我们更加清晰了解产品特点getting a better understanding of how the products work;成为大多数企业的收入来源sources of revenue;部分广告向人们宣传健康生活方式,让人们生活更加幸福快乐more contented。当然也可以写drawbacks,例如:很多商业广告的虚假宣传误导了消费者消费misleading customers;部分广告内容低俗,对青少年的身心发展不利negative effects on mental health;广告泛滥使广告形象大打折扣contribute to a bad self-image。其次,针对问题提出解决的solutions,这里可以从政府的角度切入,广告利弊兼有,政府应当积极引导,以便广告更好地服务于民众。

These days advertisements are every where. They are on the newspaper you read in the morning, in the radio you listen to on your way to work, on every channel you turn on and even in the public toilet. It seems very hard to avoid our life being influented by advertisements. Obviously, advertisements offer people a great deal of information no matter they are positive or not. From the goodside, advertisements are time saving because it can help people to find what they want quickly in the sea of same products with the information given by the advertisements. Besides, some advertisements are really creative and touching. So that people may be inspired by these good thoughts. On the other hand, however, advertisements are really anoising. They may spread some fake or wrong information in order to sell their products, which often mislead the public and lead to some really bad impacts. For example, people eat more sugal due to the jucy advertisement which claim that they are good for people's health for rich in vitamin C. Furthermore, the extensive good life described by the advertisements make people belive that if they have the products they can be a better person, which encourage people to focus more on the material world rather than their inner peace. Consequently, more and more people feel unhappy and unsatisfied with their life, especially when they compare it with the advertisements. Given these facts, advertisements must be ristricted so that our life can be prevented from those negtive effects. For one thing, legislation is needed to make to prevent advertisements from provding fake informations so that people may not be misleaded. Also, the contents of advertisements also should be regulated.Those biased or radicial memsages should not be included in the advertisements any more. Most importantly, the advertisement targeting children should be censersed strictly for children are more vulanrable to be effected by these advertisements. Over all, advertisements have been influenced us for a long time and our life do changed a lot due to those advertisement, which is also the reason why we should restrict advertisements. Personally, i think making laws to ask the advertiser to provide true information is the most effective solutions over this issue.
