  1. Nowadays, we can’t imagine our life without marketing tools. There are variety of ways how companies can promote products. One of the most significant variant is advertising. On the one hand, it urges us to buy items we do not need. On the other hand, it brings useful information about new technologies, which can strongly improve quality of people’s life.

    On the one side, advertising forces us to buy something what we don't need. In part it's true, sometimes people can do shopping according only on this tool of marketing. It happens, because during long period of time advertisements create fashion and modern standards. Overall, advertising is a nice way to promote commodity and create fashion standards, thereby encourages people to buy something new.

    On the other side, huge part of community opines that ad helps us understand that some new products can extremely improve quality of lifestyle. Absolutely correct statement, because using information that is presented by advertisements, we recognise about useful functions of the product. Summing up, advertisements help people understand usage of merchandise and how strongly it makes life easier.

  2. These days, the world is dominated by advertising. That is to say, we have become increasingly surrounded by commercials, with those seen on traditional TV channels and billboards now supplemented by paid advertising on social media, websites and within apps. So all of these factors lead to the mass consumption and, sadly, in most cases it is thoughtless.
    Tending to the viewpoints that are described in the given essay issue, I would like to start with the assertion of the uselessness of promotional things. Sometimes we can really run into not an appropriate item and still like it due to the thoughtful presentation of this product in advertising. Despite that, influencers on social media may have an impact on their followers and thereby creating new fashion trends. From my point of view, that is a huge problem nowadays: many things are recklessly bought just because they were shown by the idol.
    Nevertheless, modern things promotion has many advantages and a huge part of the community opines that ads are capable of showing the significance and usefulness of brands products. Meanwhile, that also makes sense. Advertising these days has extensive access worldwide thus we have the ability to find any commodity of interest in seconds. Moreover, products are accompanied by information about them that can help people understand the usage of merchandising and decide for themselves whether the product they need.
    I tend to believe that advertising is an everyday feature of our lives, even though many aspects of ads do appear to be morally wrong and are not acceptable in modern society. But overall, I assume that when people are given a strong incentive to buy, and when it’s carefully crafted and targeted, adverts can be effective.

    1. All in all, your essay is well-structured, has one main idea per paragraph, supports main points with an explanaqtion and example. On the other hand, pay attention to the usage of cohesive linking words (but = on the contrary; so=consequently). Try to vary your vocabulary using accurate synonyms (many = a plethora of, a number of, numerous, a variety of, etc.). Pay attention to possesive case of nouns.
