今日作文題：

The Positive and the Negative Effects of Advertising 廣告的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)

提示句：

廣告的利處；
廣告的弊端；
我們應(yīng)該加強(qiáng)廣告法。

范文：

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

在如今的信息時(shí)代，人們無法避免各種各樣的廣告。他們?cè)谏a(chǎn)廠商和消費(fèi)者之間架起了一個(gè)橋梁。通過廣告，生產(chǎn)廠家可以很容易地介紹自己的產(chǎn)品并贏得客戶的注意；同時(shí)，消費(fèi)者也能夠有機(jī)會(huì)對(duì)他們感興趣的產(chǎn)品了解更多。

However, there are still lots of people who complain that many of the words in advertisements are rather misleading. Some manufactures spend far too much money on advertising their products without trying to promote the quality of their goods. To make things worse, some people even use false descriptions in their advertisements for the sake of making money.

然而，很多人抱怨許多廣告中的廣告詞非常誤導(dǎo)人。很多廠家花大量的錢財(cái)用于廣告，卻沒有想辦法提高其產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量。更糟糕的是，有些人為了錢甚至在廣告中做虛假描述。

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.

實(shí)際上，并不是廣告本身應(yīng)受到指責(zé)，而是我們應(yīng)該強(qiáng)化廣告方面的法律。只有在政府的嚴(yán)格控制下，廣告才能在最大程度上造福人類。

NOTES

1. to make things worse 使情況更糟糕
= to make matters worse = what's worse = worse still = even worse

例：It got dark, and what was worse, it began to rain. 天黑了，而更糟的是，開始下起雨來了。

- What happened to you on your way back to the hotel last night? 你昨晚回賓館的途中發(fā)生了什么？
- I lost my way in complete darkness and, to make things worse, it began to pour. 我在一片漆黑中迷了路，更糟糕的是，天還開始下起了大雨。

2. for the sake of…/for one’s sake

①為了……，為了……的利益，為了……起見。例：
I stopped smoking for the sake of my health. 為了我的健康起見我戒煙了。
Your sister is trying to read; please be quiet for her sake. 你妹妹正在努力讀書，請(qǐng)讓她安靜。
For the sake of safety, you must keep all medicines away from children. 為了安全，要把所有的藥都放在孩子們拿不到的地方。

②用來加強(qiáng)語氣，表示迫切的請(qǐng)求或不耐煩。例：
for God's sake 看在上帝的份上
for Christ's sake看在老天面上
for goodness pity's sake 請(qǐng)發(fā)發(fā)慈悲吧

3. under the control of… 在……的控制下
