Topic 7-

Describe An Advertisement That You Don’t Like.

– When did you see it? 

– What is it about?

– Where you saw it/how you came to know about it?

– Why you didn’t like it.

 

Although advertising aims to create awareness regarding various products and services, only some advertisements exhibit false information. One such ad is worth mentioning.

When did you see it?

I saw it last month while watching a movie on a TV Channel.

What is it about?

The advertisement is about fruit juice which comes in a tetra pack.

Where you saw it/how you came to know about it?

I saw it at home for the first time, and now I see it regularly because it comes in the middle of any TV program I watch.

Why didn’t you like it?

I was not fond of this advertisement because it depicted false information. There is no denying this conviction that fruits are good for us, but we consume fruit juice, it has fewer nutrients.

So the nutritional value of a fruit declines when we convert it into juice. Moreover, it further decreases when we add preservatives to store it for extended periods. And to maintain the sweetness of the liquid, the companies add artificial sweeteners.

Now my problem with that advertisement is that it exaggerates the benefits of juice which is detrimental to our health. It is a truth that consuming sugar in large quantities harms our health, and the juice prompted through the advertisement has eight spoons of sugar inside it.

Many people consume these juices with the view that they are suitable for their health, but the reality is different. And by advertising such unhealthy products, the companies are playing with the lives of innocent people.

Due to these reasons, I did not liked that advertisement.
