I agree with Claire’s viewpoint that it is more efficient to make purchasing decisions by searching on Internetthe Internet(This rule identifies whether the article 'the' is missing in a sentence.). In addition, in my opinion, depending on information from online sources is more professional and accurate. Precisely when the purchasing decisions are related to some specific technology, friends and family members may not equippedequip(Non-infinitive verb after modal verbs) with enough professional knowledge in these fields. For example, during the time that I was trying to buy a new camera, none of my friends or family members can help me because they had little knowledge on photography. However, lots of photographers with ten years of experience on the online forum offered me with detailed purchasing suggestions, including prices, the effects of the pictures and the difficulties to operate, and the information are very helpful and reliable. Therefore, I believe that gathering professional recommendations from experts online is a wiser way to make purchasing decisions.

6.文章修订

I concur with Claire's perspective that utilizing online sources for making purchasing decisions is more efficient and reliable. In particular, when decisions involve specific technologies, friends and family may lack the necessary expertise. For instance, when I sought to purchase a new camera, none of my acquaintances possessed sufficient knowledge in photography to assist me. However, numerous experienced photographers on online forums provided me with comprehensive suggestions, including price comparisons, image quality, and ease of operation.

Moreover, the internet offers a plethora of resources such as specialized websites and consumer reviews that enable individuals to make informed decisions. Online platforms like DPReview and PhotographyTalk present detailed information about various products' performance, pricing, and user-friendliness. Additionally, online ratings and review systems provide consumers with a basis for evaluating product quality and satisfaction levels that friends and family might not be able to offer.

In summary, gathering professional recommendations from experts through online sources is a more prudent approach to making purchasing decisions than relying solely on advice from one's social circle. (171 words)

6.文章修订

While I understand Mike's argument that targeted advertising can be efficient and productive by presenting consumers with products and services tailored to their interests, I concur with Jessica's view that it constitutes an invasion of privacy. As Jessica pointed out, targeted advertisements often rely on personal information to pinpoint consumer preferences and priorities, such as preferred games, clothing styles, or movies. This undoubtedly infringes upon individuals' privacy rights.

In addition to Jessica's concerns, I would like to emphasize the potential negative impact of targeted advertising on children and preschoolers who may be exposed to inappropriate content. For instance, young audiences might inadvertently encounter advertisements for adult-themed games or explicit materials, which could not only hinder their academic performance but also adversely affect their mental well-being.

By contrast, when advertisements cater to a broader audience without targeting specific individuals, consumers are more likely to feel respected and valued. In conclusion, despite its potential benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity, targeted advertising poses significant risks to privacy and the well-being of vulnerable populations such as children.

From my perspective, targeted advertisement is immoral since people who have poor self-control ability, for example, teenagers, will be improved to purchase products they don’t need. Over purchasing is harmful to people’s financial conditions and long-term development. I concur Jessicato Jessica(This rule identifies whether the preposition 'to' is missing in a sentence.)’s views that merchants should put products’ qualities to the priorities since it will increase their sales. Moreover, it helps create competitive conditions among advertisers and improve development of industries. I have to admit Mike’s arguments that targeted advertising indeed reduces some costs of commodities. Yet since there are copious factors other than advertising related to costs, for example, transportiontransportation(misspelling), advertising alone cannot playsplay(Non-infinitive verb after modal verbs) a decisive role in saving money. Thus, targeted advertising is immoral.

6.文章修订

In my opinion, targeted advertising is unethical due to its potential negative impact on individuals with poor self-control, such as teenagers, who may be persuaded to purchase unnecessary products. Excessive spending can be detrimental to one's financial stability and long-term growth. I agree with Jessica that advertisers should prioritize product quality to increase sales, fostering a competitive environment that promotes industry development.

Although I acknowledge Mike's argument that targeted advertising can reduce costs and potentially lead to lower prices for consumers, it is essential to consider other factors influencing costs, such as transportation and production expenses. Consequently, advertising alone cannot play a decisive role in cost reduction.

Ultimately, the drawbacks of targeted advertising outweigh its benefits. By focusing on product quality and appealing to a broader audience through non-invasive marketing techniques, advertisers can demonstrate respect for consumer privacy while promoting sustainable growth in their respective industries.
