Taking about advertisements

提示：假定有人不喜欢看电视广告，要换频道。你告诉他广告是现代生活的一部分，每个人必须面对他们。他说广告总是劝你买你不需要的东西，有的广告甚至欺骗消费者。你认为他所说的只是部分正确，比如公益广告就是对我们很有益。他说商业广告不可信，广告商们总是暗示自己的产品最好。你说商业广告提供产品的各种信息，只要我们善于比较，广告还是对我们有益的。

A: I dislike ads. Shall we change the channel?

B: But ads are part of modern life. Everyone must face them.

A: Ads are no good. They always try to persuade you to buy what you actually don’t need.

B: Well, do you mean some ads even tell lies to cheat consumers?

A: That’s what I really mean.

B: But I think what you have said is only partly true. In fact, some ads are very good. A: Very good? Could you show me some examples?

B: Yes, some public service ads try to educate people about safety, health and so on. What do you think?

A: I agree, but commercial ads are quite different. The advertisers always suggest their products are the best. So we can never believe them.

B: But commercial ads can also give us a lot of information about products. They promote competition and sales, which benefit consumers. If we are good at comparing them, ads are good for us.
