1、AdvertisingAdjectives to describe advertisingOther related wordschild and advertisingChildren nowadays are exposed to more and more adverts on television. Many people believe that this represents a problem because young people are easily influenced by television commercials.
2、 One danger this presents is that children will actually believe in the exaggerated claims frequently made in advertisements. This is particularly serious in the case of adverts for products such as junk food that are actively unhealthy.Forms of advertisingIn the modern world, we
3、 are inundated with advertising in many different forms. There are, of course, the obvious examples such as television commercials,radio spots, billboards by the roadside and the neon signs that light up the cities at night. In addition to these, however, there are
4、 other less evident ways in which companies attempt to promote their products. For example, when you sit down to watch a football match, you will see the logos and slogans of companies that sponsor the shirts or even nowadays the stadium. Product placement works in much
5、 the same way in the cinema. You think you are sitting down to watch a film, but advertising agencies will make sure that their clients' latest products are on display too.How advertising worksAdvertising works in many different ways, but it is safe to say that most successful advertis
6、ements are in some way memorable. Unless we can remember what the advert was about it, it failed. Likewise, many adverts try to make the product or service seem glamorous: this may be achieved by getting a star from the world of entertainment to endorse the product. The idea is t
7、hat if Brad Pitt says that he uses this shaving gel, then men all around the world will follow suit. Finally, there is the category of the witty or humorous advert - a clever advert can make the product itself seem "intelligent", even when it is no more than a washing-up liquid.T
8、he regulation of advertisingThere is little doubt that there should be some regulation of advertising, but it is unclear who should be responsible for this and how the regulations should apply. One one level, in the free market, companies should be allowed to promote their produc
9、ts and services as they see fit. However, there are surely some instances when it would be inappropriate for there to be no restrictions on advertising. For example, tobacco and alcohol companies should not be allowed to buy advertising time on television and radio.1、Co
10、nsumers are faced with increasing numbers of advertisements from competing companies. To what extent do you think are consumers influenced by advertisements? What measures can be taken to protect them?In todays material world, we are inundated with various forms of advertising. In my view, this
11、 can be dangerous as it encourages us to spend without thinking and young people, in particular, need some protection from it.The first point to make is that advertising does make us spend money we do not need to. There are nowadays so many different ways companies promote their products and service
12、s, ranging from television commercials to simple flyers that we cannot escape it. If, for example, you watch a football match on television, you will see the logos of the tournament sponsors. Likewise, if you watch the latest blockbuster movie, very probably you wi
13、ll see a product placed in the film by some advertising agency. The volume of this advertising means that we, as consumers, tend to be profoundly influenced by it and buy without thinking.It is not easy to decide how to regulate advertising. Clearly, governments ought to restric
14、t advertisements for harmful products such as alcohol and tobacco. They do not have the power, however, to control other forms of advertising. This means we need to use our common sense when we go to the shops, and ask ourselves whether we really need to make
15、that purchase. Parents should, however, ensure that young people are protected from too much exposure to advertising. This can mean simply explaining that it is not in fact necessary to buy the newest Xbox, or simply turning the television off.My conclusion is that while we cannot escape advert
16、ising or its effects in the modern world, children should be encouraged not to pay too much attention to it.Reading the essay question and getting the structure rightThis is one of those double questions types. It is absolutely essential that you answer both parts of the question. One logical way to
17、 do this is use a main body paragraph for each part of the question. So, my essay uses this structure:Introduction: identify theme of essay and outline your positionMain body 1: answer to what extent advertising does influence usMain body 2: answer what measures we can take to protect consumersConcl
18、usion: return to main theme of essay and underline your positionThe benefit of this structure is that it is simple (and simple tends to be good in exam circumstances) and coherent in that it follows a logical progression. It makes sense to talk about the influence of advertising before discussing pr
19、otection measures, and the conclusion reflects the introduction and so tops and tails the essay.Step 1 :getting ideas to write the essay One problem many candidates have is finding ideas for essays. Very often, the place to get these ideas is in the question itself. The trick is to look at the words
20、 in the question and ask yourself some WH questions (who/where/what/why/when etc). That gives you your start, then it often works to try and think of differences. So, for example:numbers of advertisements: Ask yourself what different types of advertising do you know? TV commercials/bilboards/le
21、aflets and flyers/promotions/logos and slogans/product placement/sponsorshipAre all these the same? Is one type more dangerous than others?consumers: Ask yourself what different types of consumer are there? high street shoppers/online shoppers/impulse buyers/regular customers/children/adults.Ar
22、e all these the same? Do some need more protection than others?competing companies: Ask yourself what does this mean? Its about the free market and competition.Is it possible to regulate the free market?influenced: Ask yourself how we are influenced by advertising? Is it the same in all cases?Which
23、is the most dangerous form of advertising?measures: You can ask yourself what measures need to be taken, but you can also ask yourself who should take those measures.Can the government regulate advertising? If they cantt who can? The consumers themselves? Some other body?Step 2 0rganising the ideas
24、making your paragraphs coherentAnother common problem is that candidates have enough ideas to write an essay, but they dont organise them well. If you try and include all your ideas, your writing will almost certainly become incoherent and thats bad for your band score. Here is how to avoid that pro
25、blem:Each paragraph is about one main idea onlyYes, thats right just one main idea per para. This means that you need to select what ideas you use if you try and use all your ideas in a 250 word essay, it is likely to become confused.The main ideas are simple ideas:normally found
26、 in the questionYes, this is right too. Your big (or main) ideas are simple. They are things like, “I agree with this proposal” or “This opinion is partly right and partly wrong”. So each paragraph begins with a simple sentence like:The first point to make is that advertising does make us spend mone
27、y we do not need to.This means it does influence us. All you have to do now is explain why and how.Or It is not easy to decide how to regulate advertising.This means that controlling advertising is complex. All you have to do now is explain why that is so and what can be done.Others ideas are s
28、upporting ideas that explain or give examplesThe key here is to see that we just need a couple of explanations of the one big idea. Looking at the “ideas” from step I, I chose these for my first paragraph:explanation; the most dangerous type of adverts are those that we see
29、all the time and dont think aboutexamples: tv commercials/flyers/sponsorship/product placementStep 3 paragraphs are like essays: it can better to repeat/rephrase an idea than to give a new ideaThe next point to note is that one possible paragraph structure is to repeat/rephrase your main idea rather
30、 than give a new one. This works best in more complex paragraphs like the one above. The main idea is:The first point to make is that advertising does make us spend money we do not need to.I then use a mixture of reasons and examples to explain this idea. At the end of the paragraph, I dont try and
31、say something different. Rather I come back to the main idea:The volume of this advertising means that we, as consumers, tend to be profoundly influenced by it and buy without thinking.This should be a familiar idea to you. It is really just using the introduction main body conclusion
32、;structure of an essay for a paragraph. You wouldnt add a new idea in the conclusion of your essay, so why would you in a paragraph?notesMy introduction and conclusion are both quite short: 2 sentences and 1 sentence. There are different ways of writing introductions and conclusions. The benefit of this approach is that it allows me more words for the main body of the essay perhaps the most important part.If you are writing an academic essay, it is conventional to try and not use personal pronouns unless you need to. In this essay, I use first person, second person and third pe
