示例1：在引入段落中，可以这样表达：“In the debate between using celebrities or ordinary people in advertising, I believe that the latter approach is more effective for several reasons.” 示例2：在正文段落中，可以使用主题句来突出观点：“One reason why ordinary people are more effective in advertising is that they can better represent the majority of consumers, providing a realistic evaluation of a product's effectiveness and durability.”

I tend to align with Amy’s idea that “ordinary people” approach is better. The primary merit of this method is that ordinary people can provide consumers a truer feeling of a product. To be specific, models always pay more attention to something lush of a product, such as if it has a good appearance or if it contains expensive ingredients. They may ignore if the product is durable or effective. Since most consumers are normal people, they may not have such tastes like models, so models will not deliver the true feeling to consumers. On the contrary, ordinary people can more represent most consumers, they can give a realistic remark on the effect and the durance of a product. The consumers may more want to trust ordinary people and their products. Therefore, I believe that ordinary people isare(Detects potentially wrong usage of "is") better to advertise a product.

Section Title: 6 Article Revision

In my opinion, the "ordinary people" approach to advertising is more effective, as Amy suggests. The primary advantage of this method lies in its ability to offer consumers a more authentic representation of a product. Models and celebrities often focus on the luxurious aspects of a product, such as its appearance or expensive ingredients, potentially overlooking its durability or effectiveness. As most consumers are not celebrities themselves, they may not share the same preferences or values as these famous figures, leading to a disconnect between the advertisement and the target audience. In contrast, ordinary people can better represent the majority of consumers by providing realistic feedback on a product's performance and longevity. Consequently, consumers are more likely to trust endorsements from individuals who share similar experiences and perspectives. Thus, I firmly believe that utilizing ordinary people in advertisements is a superior strategy for promoting products. (150 words)

While Jonah's argument for maintaining health in the past may seem persuasive, I am inclined to believe that it is easier for individuals to maintain good health in the present. It is true that people in the past may have consumed fewer processed foods and led more active lifestyles. However, advancements in medical technology and increased awareness of healthy habits have significantly improved our ability to stay healthy today. For example, as a material research engineer working in a biotechnology company, my role involves developing innovative microcarriers for gene therapy, a treatment with the potential to save lives. Furthermore, there has been a marked improvement in promoting physical activity, with schools now requiring physical education grades as part of their graduation criteria. Given these factors, I am confident that our current state of health is superior to that of the past. (146 words)
