آموزش رایتینگ آیلتس تسک 2 – سؤال‌های Opinion (Agree / Disagree)

In contemporary societies, the strong sales of popular consumer goods are often attributed to the persuasive power of advertising rather than genuine social needs. I largely agree with this view, as advertising not only shapes consumer preferences but also redefines what people perceive as necessary, even when their basic needs have already been met.

One clear illustration of this influence is advertising’s ability to turn non-essential products into perceived social requirements. A well-known historical example is the diamond industry, which successfully associated diamond rings with romantic commitment through sustained marketing campaigns. Prior to this, diamonds were not considered a necessary part of engagement. Over time, however, repeated exposure to this message embedded the idea into social norms, leading to consistently high demand driven by cultural expectation rather than real necessity.

In addition, modern consumers are exposed to advertising more intensely than ever before. Advertisements now appear across digital platforms, mobile applications, entertainment media and even everyday environments such as supermarkets. This constant presence encourages individuals to equate convenience, status and personal satisfaction with the ownership of new products. As a result, technologically advanced household gadgets are frequently marketed as indispensable, despite offering only limited improvements over existing alternatives. Their strong sales therefore reflect emotional appeal and lifestyle aspiration more than practical need.

That said, advertising does not exert the same influence over all types of purchases. Essential goods, such as basic food items, are typically bought regardless of promotional efforts, as consumers seek them to meet fundamental needs. This contrast helps explain why companies invest heavily in advertising discretionary products rather than necessities.

In conclusion, while advertising plays a minimal role in the consumption of essential goods, it is a dominant factor behind the high sales of popular consumer products, often encouraging consumption beyond the real needs of modern societies.

چرا نمونه دوم 8.5+ می‌شه؟

1) موضع کاملاً شفاف و کنترل‌شده‌ست

از همون اول:

“I largely agree…”
و تا آخر هم دقیقاً همون خط فکری رو پیش می‌بره. هیچ جمله‌ای خودش رو نقض نمی‌کنه.

2) ساختار پاراگراف‌ها «اکادمیک ولی طبیعی»ه

هر پاراگراف:

• با یک topic sentence شروع می‌شه

• بعد توضیح و مثال می‌ده

• و مستقیم به سوال ربطش می‌ده
  این دقیقاً همون چیزیه که Band 8–9 می‌سازه.

3) واژگان دقیق + لحن حرفه‌ای + کنترل هیجان

عبارت‌هایی مثل:

• “attributed to…”

• “redefines what people perceive as necessary”

• “embedded the idea into social norms”

• “discretionary products rather than necessities”
  هم دقیقن، هم طبیعی، هم سطح واژگانی بالا دارن (بدون ادا و اطوار).

4) “Balance” داره (که خیلی Band 9ـی هست)

اون پاراگراف “That said…” خیلی کمک می‌کنه چون نشون می‌ده نویسنده نقدپذیر و منطقیه، نه اینکه فقط شعار بده. این معمولاً نمره رو می‌بره بالا.

5) Grammar و punctuation تقریباً بی‌نقصه

تنوع جمله‌ها خوبه، خطاهای ریز خیلی کم، و متن روانه. این سطح کنترل برای 8.5 کاملاً منطقیه.

جمع بندی:

• Band 7: ایده‌ها خوبه، مثال‌ها هست، ولی بعضی جمله‌ها/کلمات «غیرطبیعی یا شُلخته» می‌شن و گاهی تمرکز از دست می‌ره.

• Band 8.5+: همه‌چیز “controlled”ـه: موضع، ساختار، واژگان، گرامر، و حتی لحن. متن مثل یک نویسنده حرفه‌ای “سُر می‌خوره” جلو.
