Nowadays, advertisements can be found everywhere in big cities. They shout at us from the television screen and radio loudspeakers, wave to us from every page of the newspaper, signal to us from the roadside billboards all day and flash messages to us in colored lights all night.
Faced with a flood of advertisement, some people wonder whether it is necessary to have such huge sums spent on advertising. They often cite in illustration of it the attractive, but false and deceptive advertisements to which many consumers fall victim. Why don't we stop advertising and use the money to reduce the price of goods? It sounds like a good idea, but they fail to notice the contribution advertising makes to our society. Because the production of a better product to compete for customers' money is the goal of advertisers, customers are thus given a chance to compare their products and get the best and cheapest one. Besides, as the advertisement can provide people with a lot of immediate and detailed information as to the availability of a certain product, or a service or a job, it makes life much more convenient. And another thing we mustn't forget: the fact that we pay so little for our daily newspapers and TV programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers.
Advertising performs such a useful service to our society that we can't imagine what would happen if there were no advertisements. (198 words
初二下册英语命题作文【二】
有一户人家住着婆媳两人，儿子经常外出，很长时间才能回家一次。
这个婆婆在家专横跋扈，经常对媳妇横挑鼻子竖挑眼，媳妇不能申辩，更不敢反抗，总是偷偷地伤心。幸亏隔壁有位好心的大妈，十分同情这位媳妇，常常安慰这位媳妇并暗中帮助她。
一次，婆婆外出走亲戚，下午回到家里，忽然发现家里的肉少了。婆婆心里顿时来了气，她怎么想也觉得是媳妇偷吃了。于是不问青红皂白就劈头盖脑地骂起来：“你这个好吃懒做的`贱女人，我不在家你就无法无天了，竟敢在家偷吃东西！”
媳妇觉得实在冤枉，忍不住说：“老天爷在上，我偷没偷吃东西，他看得最清楚。”
还没等媳妇说完，婆婆早就气得要跳起来，她指着媳妇大声喊道：“这还了得，敢顶撞我！算是我冤枉了你，我瞎了眼睛！我家养不起你这个媳妇了，你马上给我滚回你娘家去，我家不要你了！”就这样，婆婆把媳妇给休弃了。
媳妇无可奈何，只得服从婆婆的命令。她在回娘家之前，去向隔壁的大妈告别，哭着向大妈讲了这件事。大妈听了，很替这位媳妇难过，但大妈也知道那位婆婆的为人，如果现在马上去替媳妇解释，恐怕婆婆是不会听的。于是大妈安慰了媳妇一阵后，对她说：“你先慢慢地走，我这就去想办法让你婆婆把你叫回来。”媳妇擦了擦眼泪，慢慢朝村外走去。
大妈待媳妇一走，马上在家里搜寻了一把乱麻，她将乱麻扎在一个小棍上做了一个火引子，然后到这个媳妇家里去找婆婆借火。
婆婆问：“现在不是做饭的时候，借火做什么？”大妈对婆婆说：“我家的狗不知从哪里叼来一块肉，几条狗为争这块肉，互相咬得很凶，我想借个火回去治治它们。”
婆婆一听，恍然大悟，肉原来是被狗叼走了。她心里感到有几分愧疚。因此赶紧找来一个人，让他马上去追赶媳妇，把她接回来。
这则寓言告诉我们，一个有心计的人，在解决人与人之间的矛盾纠纷时，必须讲究策略。要想弄明真相、息事宁人，既要抓住问题的症结，又不可急于求成。
