广告
   随着物质生活的日益繁荣，广告在我们的日常生活中变得越来越重要。
    广告给我们带来关于产品的最新信息，如果没有广告，消费者对当地商店所卖的货物会一无所知。广告可以帮助扩大市场，结果货物卖得越多，价格也就越便宜。广告还可以为报纸，杂志，无线电台以及电视台提供资金。
    不过也有一些反对广告的意见。有些人认为广告不但不能提供多少信息，而只是一门心思劝你买东西。他们制造出一种人们对商品需求的氛围，而实际上并没有多少人真正需要这些商品。而且广告给商品增加了成本费。再说它们看起来也不美，并且破坏视觉环境。
    事实上，任何事情都有两个方面，广告也不例外。不过，在今天的世界里，广告不仅必不可少，而且还很有益处。
