The use of advertisement is certainly great both to the producer and the consumer. There is a great deal of truth in the saying that good quality and honest workmanship are best advertisement. Of course, people know that the manufacturers would have done better if they have used the money for advertising in making better products to sell. But in these days of far-extended trade, there is no doubt that advertisement is necessary to make the existence of even first-class goods known. And even goods that are already well known must still be advertised. Some manufacturers are aware of the value of it, for, when they try to save money by stopping their advertisements, their sales go down at once.
But advertising has its abuses. Many advertisements are meant to cheat, and do at times cheat the public by raising the price of worthless goods. There is only one comfort in this aspect that a lying advertisement cannot sell worthless goods for long, for the people who buy it will not buy it a second time. As an old saying goes, “You can take in all people part of time; and you can take in some people all the time; but you cannot take in all the people all the time.

Answer 1

      
Advertisement
Advertisements have become a must for today’s business world and even the decisive factor towards the business activities. But they are sometimes wrongly used at the expenses of consumers, too.
Advertisements are getting their way into people’s lives. People heavily depend on advertising for the choice of their daily necessities and other commodities(商品) while manufacturers make their products publicly known through advertising.
There are many ways to advertise and advertisements come in different forms. Newspapers carry advertisements. Some products are announced on TV and the radio. Billboards also carry advertisements and advertising is a big industry now. However, advertisements are not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates(夸張；夸大) the benefits of the merchandise(商品) he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls with victim to such advertisements. Millions of people have bought advertised products that they haven’t always been satisfied with.
Personally/In my opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages to advertisements. The emphases should be laid on the establishment (建立；建起) of laws and regulations so that the consumers’ rights can be guaranteed.
