Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair(天分) for self-promotion and because they have so much mopey to throw around. "It's very unfair," they say, "that this entrely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don't the stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it's the consumer who pays..."
The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't creato mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only. purpose of advertising is to sell goods.Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know ahout.
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements,but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days.And what fun they often are,too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall.
we must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets.Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not manage to my alive without this source of revence. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspapar would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn't forget is the "small ads." which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns.For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death, I's the best advertisement for advertising there is!

Every time I stop to think about which possession of mine means the most to me,
I find myself looking at my left wrist, around which is a simple jade bracelet. And this bracelet will always remind me of my culture and the individual that I am.
I remember very clearly the night my parents gave me the bracelet. It was in mysophomore (二年级) year of high school, and I had stayed out at midnight. When Ifinally got home, my parents gave me a lecture on responsibility. I expected to beplaced on restriction, but instead they gave me a jade bracelet. I was totally
shocked...but when I went to bed that night I was supremely happy.
The next morning my father told me that because they had gone shopping for the
bracelet, he had not gone to the racetrack(赛马场), and had missed out on winning
$20,000 because of me. However, he said that I was worth it.
The bracelet will always remind me of those two days and the love that exists in my relationship with my parents, even though nothing is ever said. I know that no matter what I may do, my parents will always love me and accept me the way I am.
