托福TPO独立写作满分范文：advertisements

    She rushed to the shop and bought this “limited version” at aeye-popping price, and regarded it as one of the most precious things in ourhouse. However, a few months later she found the same version was sold in bulkat another shop at an unbelievably low price, which annoyed her for quite a longtime. We can learn from the experience that we should not always trust theadvertisements that are apparently exaggerating products, and keep alert in theswarm of television commercials.

　　However, the notion that “advertisement always make us disappointed”sometimes results from consumers' unrealistic expectation of products.Advertising easily makes people to imagine “perfect” products which are notrealistic at all, but consumers would rather keep this unreasonable hope. Thenthey would be inevitably disappointed by the actual products which cannot be soperfect, and attribute the cause to advertising. But it is actually theunrealistic expectation that eclipses any product, because a perfect image isabsolutely subjective and could not even be realized. For example, I once signedup for a group tour toLantaoIslandinHong Kong, being attracted by the beautifullandscape pictures posted in the advertisements. But later on in the journey Iwas disappointed because actual scenery was never as attractive as what I hadexpected to see. Therefore, an unrealistic expectation is to be avoided inmaking any buying decision.

　　In conclusion, advertisements do make products seem much better than theyreally are, as a result of commercial propaganda and our unrealistic hopeimposed on products. A better solution would be that both consumers and sellerskeep a more realistic point of view, and avoid unreasonable selling or buyingbehavior.
