63、itor of China Daily,Recently our class held a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of advertisements.In the Daily life, we need advertisements because they can offer information on goods, services, culture, employment and so on. With advertisements, customers can save a lot of time in s

64、hopping. Advertisements also help factories or service providers find their market. In a word, advertisements have many advantages. However, we also find advertisements a waste of time when we dont need them, for example, when watching TV programs. To make things worse, some advertisements are misleading and cheating.

But we should have some laws and regulations so that we can reduce the bad effects caused by advertisements.
