疯狂英语易背作文 11.The Effects of Advertising

In the morden information era¹, one can't avoid being surrounded by various kinds of advertisments. They serve as a direct bridge between manufactures² and consumers. By advertising³, manufactures can easily introduce their products and attract the attention of consumers. On the other hand, consumers will have more opportunitis to get to know more about the things they are interested in.

To make things worse, some people even use false descriptions in their advertisements for the sake⁴ of making money. Perhaps it is not advertising that should be blamed rather we need to strengthen advertising law. Only under the firm control of government, can advertisements benefit people in the broadest sense.
