Compared with the first advertisements only shown on the doors of stores, nowadays advertising is set almost anywhere accessible. Albeit it might be inevitably harmful in a sense, I do not agree with some people’s statement that advertising drives people to purchase useless commodities. In contrast, the fascination of adverting lies in its being not only a medium of new products but also a guide of exciting and wholesome life styles.
Admittedly, under specific circumstance advertising has some negative effects on people making right decisions about shopping. Some poor advertisements might overstate benefits and effects of products, and even offer incorrect information to mislead customers. However, thanks to the certain laws, fortunately those fraudulent advertisements are comparatively scarce.
Furthermore, it is unfair to say that advertising encourage people to purchase unneeded things, although advertisements do propagate the products and hope us to buy them. Because people are not robots, we decide whether to buy a product though analyzing and comparing the available information as well as taking into account the current needs and other factors such as the price and market. As though we can not blame television and video games for the problems caused by people spending a great amount of time on watching or playing them, it is not reasonable to argue that advertising is the vital factor attributing to the unsuitable decision of shopping.
On the other hand, introducing plenty of novel products might be the most visible benefit adverting transmits to our life. Without advertising life might be more arduous owing to the lack of ideal products, nor might people be forced to take more time to bring to light the product they need due to the narrow range of products people know, and as a result of the absence of comparison among products it might be more possible to buy something at an unsound price or get unsuitable products. Therefore, given that advertising makes it more possible for people to acquire ideal products by the abundance of choices it offers, advertising definitely improves our life in an indirect way.
To sum up, even though some advertisements might call into some unavoidable problems, when the fact and assumption are examined, advantages and disadvantages of advertising weighed, biased opinions cast away, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that advertising informs us new products and improves our lives indirectly.

Nowadays, advertisements appear everywhere in our daily lives, on the radio, on TV, on the net ,or even directly sent to us .These advertisements mostly propagate new products about how they are supposed to benefit us , and in this way we get the up-to-date information about the things we need, then we can make a decision whether to buy it or not. It is by this process that we improve our lives.
Sometimes when we are in need of something, we may have no idea what to buy and where to get it, then we can turn to advertisements, they would convey all the information that might be useful. With this information we can get exactly what we want and apply them to deal with to various problems we meet, thus improve our lives. For example, when falling in ill, we have to get some medicine, the advertisements will inform us about the relevant products that can cure us of the illness, with the help of them we can finally get over the disease.
Advertisements may still be helpful even when we have some information at hand. As is known to all, the fierce competition among the business has forced the entrepreneurs to try their best to improve the quality and cut down the price to attract customers. How can we get the overall information about it? Undoubtedly through advertisements. When we want to buy a car, we look through the advertisements to make a comparison of different cars, which one is cheaper, more comfortable and more economical, then we can make the best decision for us.
Still there is an argument that advertisements are likely to encourage us to buy things that we really do not need, it seems reasonable considering some cases. However, it is not the advertisements that persuade us to buy those unnecessary things, it is ourselves who tall us into it. Advertisements merely provide the information, the final determination is made by us. So people who complain about it should give a serious thought on this matter.
Advertisements has benefited a lot to us since they first took the form of shingle, and we are now inclined to take advantage of them. It would be unimaginable how our lives would become if there were no advertisements. We should be thankful to advertisements for they do greatly have improved our lives and will continue to be conducive to us in the future.

Recently, extremely popular is the debate about the announcement of building a sizable factory near our community. Undoubtedly, there are both positive and negative effects. After the close scrutiny about this issue, for my part it is advisable to adopt this plan. The argument for my view goes as follows.
As a threshold matter, the most visible advantage of establishing a new factory is that it will generate many opportunities of employment in our community both directly and indirectly. On a simple level, this large factory needs many people to keep it running smoothly with the result that a great number of jobs are delivered to people in our community. Definitely, it will solve the present pressure in employment. At the deeper level, other establishments, such as hotels, supermarkets, and restaurants, will emerge after constructing this factory. Not only will the emergence of those businesses benefit the economy of our community, but also offer plenty of job opportunities.
Economically, the establishment of a large-scale factory will provide our community with numerous benefits and great profits. Initially, the huge contribution in tax will be the first noticed advantage. Moreover, other relative businesses will be attracted to our community. In a long term, coinciding with the dramatic development chiefly caused by the new factory the infrastructure and environment of our community will be promoted by using the increasing income of our government. Meanwhile those pleasing changes will appeal more businesses to our community. Apparently, a set of those changes will be the fundament to keep the constant developing of our community.
Admittedly, other than benefits, also originating are the inevitable negative effects. The side-effect on our environment will be the most striking one. The problem can be divided into two parts: one is the pollution of this factory; the other is that along with the factory the increase of population will be almost avoidable and might make our community more crowded. However, those two ones can be weakened to a comparably acceptable level when the sound regulation is adopted, the technique to prevent pollution equipped, and the relevant construction of infrastructure delivered.
To sum up, albeit some problems such as pollution will be the obstacle of this plan, taking into account the factors I have outlined above it is reasonable to argue that the advantages of constructing a large factory near our community outweigh its disadvantages.

Many people hope that there is a factory built near their communities, while others may prefer to live far away from factories. Both sides have good reasons to support their opinions. Both advantages and disadvantages are presented below and which side is favored depends on the specific person.
advantages are apparent. On the one hand, a factory near the community will bring many job opportunities to us, those who are out of job can find a job there and get paid. This will help them get through the hard times. On the other hand, it can provide the residents with cheap products, and this will contribute to more consumption, which may highly speed up development of local economy. What is more, a factory nearby may also incite the impulse of local people to build up their own businesses.
However, the negative effects also exist. Factories may make noises, the quite life will be interrupted by the roaring of the machines of the factories, and people can no longer live as comfortable as they had before. Furthermore, these factories may use up available sources, and deprive the people of the wealth that initially belongs to them and with this exhaust their own chance of development if the sources are preserved for them. These sources would be great help to the local people, taking one form of the various kinds of capital.
As for me, the advantages can outweigh the opposite. My hometown is still undeveloped, it needs more incentives to stimulate its development, a factory is exactly what it is eager for. A factory can play a important role in not only the manufacture but all the relevant fields, such as public service. Admittedly, some disadvantages bring up the doubt of some people, but these problems can be solved if carefully dealt with. For example, we can place the machines in a well isolated house to relieve the noise, and get some of the material for other place. With all these difficulties overcome, we can enjoy the benefits a factory would favor us.

When facing with games, at the first glance many people might merely relate games to children, and some one might even consider games childish and useless for adults. However, at an individual level, games might be not only a kind of diversion but also an exciting and effective means for adults to keep vigorous and gain knowledge.
To begin with, one chief reason why games are equally significant for adults is that games are one of the most common and effective ways to alleviate the great stress many adults confront in modern times.
Many survey and statistics remark that the average working hours are rising. Also climbing, alas, is the stress people suffer. That is why some games, such as sports, are introduced to many adults for being a solution to relieve the great stress.
Furthermore, as if children can learn knowledge and skills from games, the same goes for adults. Hardly can I think of one better illustration of the argument than the example “Monopoly”, a game in which players use dice, cards, and fake money in an attempt to buy, rent, and sell property. Through role-play games like Monopoly, adults can undergo some practical experience and strategies in the virtual market those games simulate. Moreover, there are numerous games designed for helping adults gain some valuable skills in some vocational schools
Another benefit which can not be overlooked is that games, to some extent, might prevent people from aging. The bland life might make many people slow in mind and response, and this deed will be more serious for aged people. Some games such as electronic video games would be an ideal exercise for people to avoid this problem.
To sum up, regardless of people’s age, they will benefit from games in several aspects. Taking into account all the factors I have outlined above, it is convincing to say that games are as considerable for adults as for children.

Thanks to the advent of automobile, people’s lives are now more efficient, more convenient and more fascinating than before. At the same time, associating with some unfavorable issue such as pollution our economy and culture have been altered by the significant effect of automobiles. Owing to both negative and positive effects of automobiles, people’s lives are totally different. The arguments for my view go as follows.
As a threshold matter, in one sense automobiles as a substitute for the old forms of transportation make people’s lives more efficient and comfortable. One can not deny that compared with walking or horse carriages automobiles are definitely faster. The time people spend on commuting is dwindled, which in part accounts for why modern life is more efficient than past. Also reducing is the effect of bad weather to traveling due to the cozy space automobiles offer to us. Furthermore, along with the comfortable condition during traveling, the additional equipment of automobiles such as the radio and television makes the journey full of fun.
At an even deeper level, without doubt automobiles have shaped our culture and economy which are close relative to the quality of our lives. On one hand, not only do the manufacture, sale, and servicing of automobiles themselves contribute to economy greatly, but the high-speed circulation automobiles permit also change other trades a lot. The other manufacture will be more flexible and efficient in that the materials are more accessible owing to the introduction of the fast vehicle. Meanwhile, both the reachable market to manufacturers and the range of products available to customers are broader. On the other hand, automobiles become a substantial part of the modern culture. For instance, the delicately designed cars such as some models of Porsche become the collection of many people. Formula One derives fascination from all over the world.
However, with those huge benefits, automobiles also call into several problems in people’s lives. Noise and Pollution will be at the top of those problems. The dramatic boost of automobiles is responsible for the deficiency of petroleum as well, which would be mostly concerned by many people nowadays. Moreover, other problems like automobile accidents also causes negative effects to people’s lives.
To sum up, with the great mobility of automobiles people’s lives are more efficient and comfortable, and our culture and economy are also changed remarkably, albeit automobiles lead to some side-effects on people’s lives as well. Yet for better or worse, there is no denying that automobiles have altered people’s lives hugely, which is the reason why the 1900s can be called the age of the automobile.
