高分作文系列之观点集萃之二

Do advertisements play a positive or negative role in our society?
环雅学术写作中心总结 <a href="http://www.ielts target="_blank" >www.ielts .com.cn/writing</A> Arguments 1. Advertisements provide the most direct comprehensive and detailed information. We get to know about household goods from advertisements. 2. Advertising itself is a business that has provided a great number of jobs. 3. With advertisements, people save a lot of time in shopping, looking for jobs, etc. 4. Daily life needs advertisements because the main function of advertising is to disseminate information on commodities, services, culture, employment, student enrolment and even marriage. 5. A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of news of calamities. 6. Without advertisements, newspapers, commercial radios and television companies could not survive. 7. You can find a job or rent an apartment, buy or sell a house, etc. by way of advertising. 8. Advertising is a process of artistic creation. 9. Advertising creates mass markets. Without advertisements, manufacturers may find it difficult to sell their products. 10. Advertising helps stabilize industry and employment, improves quality, and, by competition, helps keep prices within bounds.
Counter-arguments 1. Advertisements are imposed upon a captive audience: e.g. on television. 2. Advertisements on TV are a nuisance: they interrupt television progranunes at a shocking frequency. 3. Consumers have to pay more for the goods owing to the advertising expenses: high prices are maintained by such artificial means. 4. Advertisements are simply misleading and cheating. They are filled with flowery phrases and empty promises. 5. Fake advertising cheats consumers and, in some serious cases, threatens gullible people's lives. 6. Advertisers are inconsiderate to the public. What they care about is making money. 7. Advertisements are not based on the quality of the goods, but on the principle that if one keeps talking about the same thing long enough, eventually people will pay attention to it. 8. Advertisements are an insidious form of brainwashing, using the same techniques, like slogans, catchphrases, etc. 9. Some advertising is offensive: it appeals to base instincts. 10. Advertising cheapens the quality of life: most ads are in poor taste.
IV. Does fashion contribute anything to society? Arguments 1. A good appearance may help people make a better impression in social contacts. 2. When people are getting old, they should pay more attention to their appearance. 3. The way people are dressed helps them to preserve a sense of their own value and personality. 4. Fashion adds spice to life with its rich colour, variety, and beauty. 5. Men and women follow fashions in order to please each other and themselves. 6. The world will be a dull place to live in if people always wear clothes of the same style and colour. 7. Mass production makes well-designed clothes cheap and available to everyone. 8. The fashion industry is an enormous one. It provides employment for people like textile workers, designers, shopkeepers, etc. 9. The fashion industry has helped industrial research in the sense that a lot of new materials, like nylon, rayon, etc. have been made to meet the demand of the consumers. 10. Being well dressed is of psychological importance because confidence in one's appearance leads to confidence in one's success in life. Counter-arguments 1. People sometimes look odd with the so-called fashionable hairstyles, make-up, and dresses. 2. Top designers in <st1:City w:st="on">Paris</st1:City> and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:City> are dictatorial, for they lay down the law and the whole world rushes to obey. 3. Fashion goes like this: one year, one thing; the next year, the reverse. 4. People are so vain that they are afraid of being seen in old-fashioned clothes. 5. People, especially the fashionmongers, are blackmailed by fashion designers and stores. 6. Changing fashions is a deliberate creation of waste because one will have to discard a lot of new clothes in order to follow fashions. 7. Fashion designers are not interested in important things like warmth, comfort, and durability of the clothes. They are only interested in outward appearance and profits. 8. The odder the clothes, the more expensive they are, and the more fashionable they become. It's a great pity that people have lost their appreciation of real beauty. 9. In order to follow fashions, people have to put up with great discomfort, such as suffering from cold in winter. 10. One's confidence does not grow from the way one is dressed, but from the inner qualities one possesses.
