不斷的采用全球雅思與托福的新題而創(chuàng)作范文，謝振禮老師越來越能夠證實(shí)老題到處重現(xiàn)，雖然出現(xiàn)的頻率與考區(qū)不同。出現(xiàn)率最高之一是議論題【廣告利弊】。記憶中自2006年后的五年內(nèi)光在海外就不下50次。2011年12月哥倫比亞的雅思大作文試題又是炒冷飯，事后根本逃不出猜測(cè)名師的先見之明。

These days it is easy to find faults with advertising, and yet none can deny entirely that this art of persuasion is good for economy. By circulating information mixing half truth with half lying, advertising can nevertheless penetrate the public mind with desires even for something worthless. All told, however, advertising is doing more good than evil.
今天如果想挑廣告事業(yè)的弊病簡(jiǎn)直是輕而易舉，話又說回來，對(duì)于這種具有說服力的藝術(shù)誰也不能不承認(rèn)其經(jīng)濟(jì)利益?？恐鴤鞑ハ胝姘爰伲瑥V告居然能夠滲透大眾人心，興起欲望購(gòu)物，甚至使人買到毫無用途的東西。盡管如此，廣告帶來的好處總比壞處多。
To think that advertising is bad is understandable, and indeed there seems to be a common perception growing increasingly negative. Perhaps history will see advertising as one of the real evil factors of modern time because it is stimulating people to constantly want things; want this and want that. It is true that many consumers are convinced to spend money they do not have for things they really do not need. It is also true that the high sales of popular consumer goods is a reflection of the power of advertising rather than the real needs of the society in which they are sold. That kind of "impulsive buying" as consumer behavior can easily turn need into greed. Apart from misleading people to desire something not necessary or completely useless, advertising is surrounding them nearly everywhere and anytime on the point of boring them to death.
認(rèn)為廣告會(huì)帶來不良的影響，想來也不無道理，好像就是越來越有對(duì)廣告產(chǎn)生反感的概念。也許將來歷史可以證明現(xiàn)代真正之弊病之一就是廣告，主要是因?yàn)閺V告不斷地刺激人的需要，又要這個(gè)又要那個(gè)。千真萬確，很多消費(fèi)者沒錢了還被引誘去買他們不是真正需要的東西。同樣一點(diǎn)兒都不假地，大眾消費(fèi)貨品所以如此暢銷，無非是反應(yīng)廣告的威力，而不是反應(yīng)消費(fèi)市場(chǎng)實(shí)際的需求。廣告把那種“沖動(dòng)采購(gòu)”的消費(fèi)行為輕而易舉地從需要改變成貪婪。廣告誤導(dǎo)購(gòu)物欲望，害人購(gòu)買了不需要或毫無用途的東西，不僅如此，廣告甚至于無時(shí)無地包圍消費(fèi)者，真是令人煩不勝煩。
The good news is that advertising serves market economy well, thanks in part to the media outlets like television, radio, newspapers, magazines and the Internet. Through the media, particularly television, advertising gives people a chance as consumers. People are told about new products and services that improve their lives. In fact, economy is at its best when the advertising industry is booming, imagining that when people are starving and freezing there should be no advertising whatever to sell food and fuel. Advertising holds a mirror to an affluent society in a virtuous cycle benefitting many sectors. More advertisements mean more money to all media outlets, which in turn boosts more sales, which in turn pushes more production and creates more jobs and therefore more buying power.
廣告帶來的好消息是其工作符合市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的運(yùn)行，這還得部分歸功于大眾媒體如電視，收音機(jī)，報(bào)紙，雜志與因特網(wǎng)。透過媒體廣告，特別是電視，廣告提供給消費(fèi)者大好機(jī)會(huì)。消費(fèi)者因此得知新產(chǎn)品與服務(wù)的信息而得以改善生活。事實(shí)上，當(dāng)廣告事業(yè)特別興旺的時(shí)候，也正是經(jīng)濟(jì)的佳期，這點(diǎn)可以想象得到，因?yàn)榧偃缛巳擞职ゐI又寒冷，哪里有需要靠打廣告來賣食品與爐油。所以廣告像是一面鏡子反射富足社會(huì)的良性循環(huán)，因而造福各行各業(yè)。廣告賣得越多，媒體的收入也越多，接著更加督促生產(chǎn)，創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，同時(shí)也就促成更大購(gòu)買力。
Those who think that advertising is bad must think again about the value of a market system which thrives on economic prosperity. Contrary to popular belief, it seems that most consumers do not hate advertising because of their own foolish desires. They are aware that probably half the money they spend on advertising is wasted, without knowing clearly which half.
認(rèn)為廣告事業(yè)危害不淺的人應(yīng)該再想一想市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的價(jià)值何在，就是促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮。也許一切反感都是錯(cuò)覺，到底多數(shù)消費(fèi)并不怨恨廣告的不利影響，到頭來都終于覺悟到一切都是出自自己愚蠢的欲望。受廣告影響而買東西也許真會(huì)造成大約一半的無謂浪費(fèi)，可是又好像搞不清楚到底是那一半。
