[写作范文]
Advertising is common throughout the world as a way of letting the public know about a product. Some people feel that advertising is generally helpful, while others feel it is often harmful.

In most countries in the world, advertising is common. You can see posters
on doors, signs on buses, pictures in magazines, and commercials on TV. Though
these signs of advertising are often disliked, I feel that, overall, advertising
has very positive results.?
The harmful effects of advertising are obvious. When you are listening to
beautiful music on the radio, a commercial is disturbing when it interrupts your program and changes your mood. Television commercials are the worst of all. Your program is stopped, and you are forced to watch an advertisement unless you actively change the channel or leave the room. I think that there should be laws to limit the advertisers‘ right to interrupt TV and radio programs.?
In general, however, I think that the positive results of advertisements are beneficial to society and individuals. When I do shopping, I can use advertisements in newspapers to compare prices, features, and quality of the product I want to buy. By being more informed, I can buy something that will benefit me in the long run. With advertisements, people save a lot of time in shopping, looking for jobs, etc.?
Adversity leads to prosperity.
逆境通向成功。
All in all, for a wise and educated shopper, the helpful effects of advertising outweigh the harmful effects.?

② benefit me in the long run从长远来说对我有益。比较in the short run: 从短期来说?

[要点提示]
is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.
忠言逆耳,就是最需要忠告的人也总是最不喜欢它。
