What do you think of advertisements Why
Nowadays, more and more advertisements appear in our daily life. People have different views on them. In my opinion, they have both cons and pros. On one hand, they can help customers know the goods better as well as offering some artistic enjoyment. On the other hand, customers may be cheated by the false advertisements on which they always waste a great deal of time.
