雅思大作文范文：
The extent to which people are influenced by advertisements can be measured in terms of thehigh sales of popular consumer goods, many of them being unnecessary or completelyuseless. Mainly through the media, advertisements on products and services are able topenetrate the public mind with half truth and half lying. In many cases, consumers arebecoming so greedy that they are not only buying things they really do not need but alsospending the money they do not have.
Although advertising gives people a chance as consumers, actually most advertisements tendto cause them to desire for something worthless. Under such circumstances, it is easy tochange people's need into greed. So much so, they are constantly encouraged to wantthings--want this and want that. This human behavior is haunted by the media from all fronts:on radio, on television, and online, not to mention printed circulations such as newspapers andmagazines. Obviously, a great number of "impulsive" buyers are persuaded under the illusionthat new products or services could make a difference in their lives. Despite all the benefits ofthe free market economy, the effects of unreliable advertising are particularly negative in thatthe power of advertising does not reflect the real needs of the society in which products andservices are sold.
Worse still, many consumers are convinced to waste money they do not have. Surrounded byadvertisements, people are too unwise to perform a balanced act between income andexpenditure. Increasingly, what seems to be good for economy begins to backfire becauseadvertising is misleading consumers deeply into commercial debts which they probably couldnot afford to pay in due time. Thus, instead of improving people's lives, advertising may beconsidered as a "necessary evil" in modern time. Furthermore, as manufacturing and servicecompanies are competing to have a larger share of the market, it is next to impossible toexpect the media to reduce the amount of dishonest advertising. Besides, when it comes tomaking money, companies and the media are in the same religion.
After all, greed being a human instinct, consumers have only themselves to blame for theirfoolishness toward advertisements. Since outlawing commercial advertising is out of thequestion, people should educate themselves to be more prudent in buying and spendingbehaviors. As for consumers, what better measures can be taken to protect themselves otherthan self-control?
