Sample Answer 1 

BAND 6.5

                         There is certainly no doubting the fact that the role of advertisement in promoting business is paramount because it keeps people up-to-date with current events around the globe. The issue of broadcasting negative or positive news to affect the mindset of a person is controversial, as there are strong arguments for and against it.

                        Certainly, there are numerous drawbacks to printing bad news. People are indeed more reliant on news because they think that it is the basis of reality, but sometimes, the printed news is fake, which creates disharmony among other cultures and traditions. It is commonly observed that people who rely on bad news are more aggressive, which is unquestionably detrimental to their physical and mental growth. Moreover, when people prefer to read bad news, they become selfish and their thinking process works in a negative way, which has become one of the disputable issues around the world.

                            Besides this, printing good news is indeed unarguably beneficial for people to become civilized members of society. It is true that when people read positive news, they become more happy and healthy, which is utterly advantageous for their inner development. Also, having a sense of reading good news provides a platform to get different thoughts and opinions that directly affect their mood and their way of thinking. Studies have proven that people who have the habit of reading good news are more self-reliant than those who do not follow the same methodology.

                     To conclude, it seems to me that printing positive news is essential to forming a better society, with the advantages of acquiring happiness and peacefulness.
