The power of advertising Many people think an important reason for customers to buy some popular consumer goods is the power of advertisements, but not the real needs. I can partly agree of this point. Advertisements may increase sales by exaggerating the quality and functions of the goods. Many manufactures will advertise the high quality which their goods don't have to customers, in order to defeat other rivals. As a result, many customers will be misled by such advertisements so they will buy the goods. For example, if a manufacture claims that its watches is anti-water, then customers will by the watches because of this function, but actually, the watch can not be anti-water in the deep water because of water pressure. This effect will be extremely obvious on the people who don't use the funcions adversited frequently. Stars in advertisements can make increase in sales. Many famous brands pay stars so much money in order to let them be the spokesmen. The fans of these stars may buy the goods advertised by their idols. Many football fans buy the suits of Real Madrid which is a famous football club because of C.Ronald, who is a famous player. However, maybe a suit of Real Madrid is not absolutely more comfortable than a shirt. This effect can be seen normally on those liking their idols deelply. On the other hand, frequent advertisements may let customer lose the interest in goods. If customers watch too many advertisements on TV, they may feel boring, leading to their ignorance of advertisements. As a result, maybe they will not be interested in buying the goods in adverstisements. In conclusion, the power of advertising is apparent，it can let people buy goods eventhough they do not need it. However, too many advertisement will have diverse effect.

Beijing and Shanghai

What the differece between Beijing and Shanghai in a foreigner's view? Which one do you like more? Why?

The link between expressions in apps and writing skills. Some people argue that young people’s skills in writing and reading will be affected by communicating with computers and phones. The wide use of computers and phones in communication will harm young people’s writing skills. For example, for the convenience of communication, many cute expressions are used in some apps such as ‘WeChat’ to express people’s feelings. If people use such expressions for a long time, they will not be as skillful as before when they want to write to express their feelings, because they have got used to using those expressions in apps. This effect will be obvious to those who pay for the expressions in some apps, because they will use the expressions frequently for not wasting their money.

Which university is better in Britain? Birmingham or York？

I have accepted offers from both of them, in a Master's degree in finance. But I don't know which to choose. The fee in York is 4000 ponds higher than it is in Birmingham, and York also asks a summer session in micro module, so it's 5000 ponds higher. However, I know the living expense in Birmingham is higher than it is in York, but I don't know how much higher.

Of cause the quality of education, especially in finance, is the most important thing I consider, but I have no idea now.

countable or uncountable? How can I know whether a word in English is countable or uncountable?

about the use of "concern" I uesed a grammar "people concern what famous people do", I know it is wrong, and I want to know is it a big misktake? I used it about 4 times in my IELTS exam.

my article written in IELTS It is a normal trend that famous people give the support to aid organisations. Some people think this trend will put some important problems in public's attention. However, others argue that the celebrities will lead to less attention to the problems. The support from famous people can let people concern some important problems, because people always care what they do. For example, if a movie star donates sth to charity organisations, then this star's fans will know, because they usually concern their idol's news. Maybe they will donate sth as well as their idol. If a famous person gives the support to a charity organisation, medias will report it. The power of media cannot be ignored in modern societies. If medias report this person's activity on internet, then people using internet will know it. As a result, more people will pay attention to some problems. However, the celebrities held by famous people or organisations may lead to less attention to some important problems. People may concern how many stars come to celebrities, they may transfer the attention to the problems before. In conclusion, the support of famous people can really let people concern more in some problems.On the other hand, celebrities may lead to less attention to those problems.

Children should stay in chilcare or with their grandparents? Many parents choose to send their children to childcare centers, because they think the best care can be provided there. However, some people think children’s grandparents can give them care. In my view, childcare is the better place for children. Living in childcare centers can culture children’s skills in communication with others, which will be helpful to them when they go to society in future. For example, if a child is introvert, for avoid being lonely, he or she will try to talk more with others, which can help him or her get friends. When the child go to society, the skills learned in the childhood will be useful in cooperation with others. In contrast, living with grandparents may not teach them such skills, because there is no group for them to stay in.
