寫在前面：10月16日又參加雅思考試，主要是想磨磨刀，給自己的教學添加一點內容。寫作又是考了八分。慚愧!真不如人家一個17歲的小女孩who拿了九分。考完了之后我立即回憶一字不漏地將task2記錄下來。供新老朋友們參考——賴勁松。

　　TOPIC Advertising is having a bigger influence on our daily lives. Some people believe the negative effects of advertising outweigh the positive effects. What's your opinion?

　　我簡單地審了一下題，馬上確定寫作思路為introduction一段，positive一段，negative一段，最后一段寫出自己的選擇。由于“effects”是復數，所以每段須有兩個ideas。開始覺得沒啥ideas,沒關系，邊寫introduction邊構思，這時候只過了不到兩分鐘，我就下筆了。

　　Nowadays, no matter where you get around in a city or even in the countryside, it is pretty easy for you to find one or two signs introducing a product. This has been increasingly becoming popular in our daily lives. Whether the influence of advertising is good or bad could be examined as follows. (introduction: 54 words)

　　We will start by talking about the merits of advertising. Firstly, advertising is informative, which provides the customers with a quick access to the product needed. Take me as an example. I am a new resident of Guangzhou, a metropolitan city located in the south of China. At the very beginning when moving to this city, I did not have a clue about where to purchase all of the necessities for my newly-bought flat. Thanks to the ads on TV and in newspapers, amazingly almost all of the items ranging from furniture to household appliances were settled within a week. Secondly, consumers can expect to have a best price by comparing and contrasting the prices and specifications of the commodity advertised by different suppliers.

　　However, advertising involves some defects and I would like to list two of them herein. Initially, the popularity of advertisements has been growing along with the increased layout of design as well as showing up in the marketplace more frequently. The cost will definitely be passed on to the customers. Furthermore, the generation Y would probably lose their individuality because many of them buy the same goods advertised constantly in media during a certain period of time, which makes them appear alike.

　　(body2——82 words)

　　After the above analysis of the pros and cons, I tend to be in favor of the positive effects. Undoubtedly, nothing is more important than living in a society where ordinary people can enjoy the conveniences and competitive prices brought by commercials. I believe that the negative effects can be minimized through sustainable economic growth and education.

　　( 56 words——總共 316 words)

　　在整個寫作過程，我有意識地應用了下列技巧：

　　1. 多變表達。如除positive and negative我用了merits and defects， good and bad，pros and cons。而advantages and disadvantages來不及用上；還有，advertising=ads=advertisements=commercials， commodity=goods=product=item 等等。

　　2. 盡量使用長句，由大量采用過去分詞短語及現在分詞短語修飾名詞來實現，從句也不少；

　　3. 舉出最少一個實例，不講任何空話，不含任何與考題無關的內容；

　　4. 注意名詞的數及謂語的時態；

　　5. 用情態動詞及程度副詞來把握語氣；

　　6. 最后采取歸納法，并對negative effects提出solutions。
