Today, the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, there are lots of advertisements on television or on the streets. Some people believe that advertising boosts the sales of goods and[ since ] it encourages people to buy unnecessary things. (Although eye-catching advertisements do influence people’s buying behaviour)[confusing  ], [ punctuation error ]in my opinion, many other factors, such as buying habits, income, quality and price[ , ] all make a bigger contribution[ contribute ] to the final[consumers’  ] purchasing decision.

On one hand[wrong phrase  ], advertising can enhance sales from different aspects. Many advertising companies produce advertisements [ by working ]with famous and popular stars or singers[ celebrities ]. [As a result,  many ]People, especially youngsters, buy goods their favourite star advertises, though they do not actually need them. Besides, a commodity may look gorgeous and good quality on a television screen, which might result in impulsive buying. That means people buy products without enough consideration soon after they watch the advertisements. Furthermore, as many customers buy a particular product due to its [ as a result of the ]advertising campaign, other people tend to[ can ] be affected by this trend, even if the product is of no use to them.

On the other hand, there are various aspects against the above argument[ unclear ]. It is always[sweeping statement  ] people’s own choice about whether to purchase certain products. Individuals have their distinct spending habits, which advertising is unable to influence. What is more, since there should be a limited amount of disposable income of [ for ]each customer, people try to allocate their budget. They cannot be simply swayed by those advertisements[ unclear ]. Most importantly, there is no denying the fact that most people would choose the [article error  ]product with high quality and reasonable price. For example, if the price of a product is out of a customer’s budget[ grammatical error ], he or she would not spend money on it, even if its advertisement is appealing.

In conclusion, it is fairly difficult to say that everyone can be persuaded by advertising and buy products impulsively. (To a larger extent, they are rational and make their decisions based on their own opinions and standard of good quality.)[unclear  ]
