TEXT 3 : No : 7 – 11

We are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially during our favorite programs. We think they should be stopped  for a number of reasons.

First, ads are nuisance. They go for a long time and there are so many.  Sometimes there seems to be more ads than programs.

                Second, ads are a bad influence on people. They try to encourage people to buy unhealthy food like beer, soft drink, candy, and chips. And they make people want things they do not really need and cannot afford.

                Finally, the people who make ads have too much say in what programme people watch. That is because they want to put all their ads on popular programmer that a lot of people watch. Some programmers which are not so popular get stopped because they do not attract enough ads, even though programmer may be someone’s favorite.

                For those reasons, we think your TV station should stop showing ads. They interrupt programmer, are bad influence on people, and sometimes put a stop to people’s favorite shows. We are sick of ads, and now we mostly watch channel two (ABC).
