“Building A Large Shopping Center”

It has recently been announced that a large shopping center may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
=======================================================
I support the plan to have a large shopping center built in neighborhood on the following grounds.

A large shopping center generally consists of various shops like shops like grocery, cutlery, hosiery, garments, footwear, medicines, books, magazines, and many more. These are the items of daily use and can be bought at from hand-shake distance that is most convenient and economical too. This helps reduction in individual’s fuel consumption thereby help in Oil Conservation Mission. This in turn contributes in reducing pollution and global warming too.
In addition large shopping center may have many other services like cyber cafés, booths for Telephone, Xerox, and Fax. Shopping center may have beauty clinics also with some beauticians and many other services alike. Even banks may provide ATM machines for easy money transactions.

A large shopping center food court consists of shops stalls offering different cuisines. At a typical food court, meals are ordered at one of the shops then carried to a common dining area, which is known as a plaza contiguous with the counters of the multiple food vendors. A large shopping center may have large superstructures which often also include office space, residential space, amusement parks and so forth. Not only children but everyone can have fun and ejnoy at those amusement parks.

In nutshell a large shopping becomes pride of the area and a landmark for identification of the area. Following the shopping center many other ancillary small and medium businesses may come up those are in the interest of the economy and users too.
Hence there is no logic in opposing building of such an excellent shopping center. -(270 Words)

“Building A Large Factory”---

A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.
===================================
I would support construction of the large factory. Large factory is an avenue for business and employment. This contributes to the economic growth of the country by large. People get employment and earn handsome money that not only fulfill the needs but also boost up the living standard of the countrymen. Industrialization is the key source for reliance and wealth creation.

Large companies in the very initial phase construct housing colony for the employees with medical facilities and schooling facility. These facilities are either free or at very nominal cost. This is a boon for the employees and their dependents. In addition infrastructure for shopping centers is also constructed that caters products of daily use.

Also large factories have bulk of career opportunities. Hence employees get promotions from time to time and climb high and high in the ladder of hierarchy that takes an individual to a feeling of self esteem.

One disadvantage may be pollution in environment. However it is mandatory for the companies to design and construct proper effluent discharge and disposal infrastructure and facilities. This is as per Governmental rules and regulations. Said facility has to be constructed right in the beginning thereafter only permission for commissioning is granted. This facility enables a factory to run at optimum efficiency with appropriate effluent disposal and without causing any pollution and harming the environment. Considering advantages there is no valid reason to oppose construction of a large factory simply on fear of environment pollution.

In the nutshell, construction of a large factory comes up very rarely; it is not as frequent as movement of flights, trains or buses. Therefore when such opportunity arises, it must be welcome and fully supported.

“Building A High School”

It has recently been announced that a new high school may be built in your community. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details in your answer.
===========================================================
I very much support the plan of building high school in my community. The reason being, building a school is a noble job. A school is primarily meant for imparting education that is a paramount importance in every ones life.

A school is an institution where students or pupils can learn while under the supervision of teachers. In most systems of formal education, students progress through a series of schools: primary school, high school, higher secondary school and possibly a university, Vocational-School or a college. At the school students may also learn many creative works like singing, dancing, vocal music, instrumental music and many more. Without education no one can have sound footing or stand the competition and win the race. Those who are not educated have no chance for getting a job and earn thereby uneducated population has to suffer unemployment and poverty all through the life.

Schools in the new age are becoming a larger and larger driving force in popular culture. It is not unheard of to hear of schools coming together to perform large tasks for current world events. Schools and schoolchildren are frequently portrayed in fiction and the media, ranging from Harry Potter and Grange Hill to Battle Royale and many more.

In conclusion School education opens many avenues for earning, a good employment and handsome salary thereby one does not only earn for livelihood but also earn good money. Also one can make his or her dreams of becoming Doctor, Engineer, Businessman, Actor, Scientist, Pilot and Astronaut come true. In light of the above, plan of building a high school shall be a boon to the community and must be most welcome.

“Best Use of Land Received”

Imagine that you have received some land to use as you wish. How would you use this land? Use specific details to explain your answer.
==================================
For the purpose of this essay, I imagine that I get my agricultural dreamland in the countryside. Here I would prefer to develop and do farming. I shall elaborate my viewpoint in the following paragraphs.

Metropolitan areas all over the world are growing at unprecedented rates, creating extensive urban landscapes. Many of the farmlands, wetlands, forests, and deserts have been transformed during the past 100 years into human settlements. In the last 200 years, world population has increased enormously, stressing ecological systems and resulting into environment pollution and global warming problems. It is high time we study these landscapes from a spatial perspective and measure the changes that have occurred and predict the impact of changes to come.

Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. Many other materials such as cotton and wool also come from plants and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important occupation in the world.

Scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly productive. The development of improved plant varieties and fertilizers has helped double and even triple the yields of some major crops. Scientific livestock care and breeding have helped increase the amount of meat and products that animals produce. At the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has sharply reduced the need for farm labor.

In nutshell, because farming has become less important as a way of life in the world, it has become more important as a business enterprise. I would therefore prefer to use my dreamland for faming and develop it to optimum level. ----------------------------------(292 Words)

“Balanced Diet and Good Health”

A balanced diet, or eating balanced meals, is the key to a healthy life. Do you agree or disagree to the statement? Give reasons for your answer.
===================================
I agree to the fact that a balanced diet intake contributes to good health. However there are many other factors e.g. disciplined daily schedule like sleeping in time, waking up in time and eating in time are most important. Even if diet is balanced but taken at irregular intervals can do more harm than good to the health of a person.

Furthermore regular physical exercises are a paramount importance for a healthy living. In the modern computer era there is a great lack of exercise in every one’s life giving rise to several problems, like we totally miss personal and human touch that gives rise to stress and anxiety. We are now more introverts, we tend to remain sedentary that may give rise to obesity, weight gain blood pressure etc. Also one suffers from spine related problems like back ache, muscular pains etc those are the professional hazards. In order to maintain good health one must do regular exercises and take help of yoga and meditation those help relieving stress and hypertension.

Non-Vegetarian diet has excessive fats and proteins that can cause obesity however vegetarian diet has relatively low fats and proteins hence taking vegetarian diet helps maintaining good health.

In conclusion it is not alone balanced diet intake or eating balanced meals is the key factor that helps maintaining good health but several other factors like type of diet, regularity in eating habits, regularity in sleeping and waking, regular exercises are the factors that contribute to one’s good health. -------------------------------------------(250 Words)

“Avoid Tiredness During Exam Preparation”

Students can become very tired both emotionally and physically when they are preparing for an examination. How can they look after their health while they are studying?
=======================================================
Students get certain amount of tension while preparing for examination is quite a natural phenomenon. Students who feel certain amount of tension during exam preparation are health wise absolutely normal.

Excessive tension results into disturbed sleep because of which students are rendered restless, and when they keep on exerting under restless condition, obviously they get physically tired. The main cause of this overburden during exam preparation is because majority students, during the studies session, badly while-away their precious time of studies in playing, partying, computer games, online chatting and watching late night movies etc. Because of this students miserably lag behind in studies and when exam approaches they are under sever anxiety and pressure. They want to cover-up the entire syllabus in a few days. This necessitates late night studies and sitting for long hours at each one sitting and that throws them physically and mentally sick. Those who can’t keep late in nights in their natural process, resort to mood elevator drugs that is much more dangerous.

In order to avoid exam time fatigue, students must be trained to follow a strict time table right from day one of the class session and study. This must be strictly followed. This shall eliminate need for over exertion during exam time. Also by leading a well disciplined life one shall enjoy sound mental and physical health.

To conclude with, students must be trained to follow a strict schedule right from beginning of the school session till the examination time and do studies on regular basis. This shall eliminate chances of students getting unduly tensed and overworked or fatigued during examination times. ----------------------------------------------------------------(270 Words)

“Automobile Has Improved Life”

Some people think that the automobile has improved modern life. Others think that the automobile has caused serious problems. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
==========================
The invention and proliferation of the automobile has improved the human lives considerably. In modern days, complete transportation of men and material is carried out with the help of automobiles. Automobiles in the modern era, for us are not luxury, but a necessity rather. We think nothing while jumping in the car and driving many a miles on a trip or for our jobs. But looking to the future, researchers are constantly trying to find better ways of transporting with more fuel efficient and environment friendly vehicles redesigning the engines and appearance.
For going to school or college, attending office or business, shopping or socializing and numerous daily activities we are dependent on automobiles. Automobiles we use in the shape of a car, scooter or motorbike depending upon our need, nature of work and affordability. While the life has become very fast and time is extremely scarce we have to cope up with the work or the business and keep pace with time with the help of our automobile. Very large tankers transport oil and gas for the use of end users. All projects ranging from small or gigantic need cranes, trucks, lifters, elevators, excavators, dumpers, road rollers, tractors and what not. And all those are the development from automobiles.

No doubt automobiles do cause some air pollution in environment by way of exhaust of carbon-mono-oxide and carbon-di-oxide. However to overcome pollution problem oil companies as well as automobile manufacturers do a great deal of research and develop products that are environment friendly. We can neither discard automobiles nor can we imagine our life without automobiles.

In nutshell invention and proliferation of automobiles has improved the human lives. We can’t imagine of a life without automobiles today.

“Attention to Students in Large Classes”

When students are in large classes it is very hard for the teacher to give every student individual attention. What can educational authorities do about this?
=========================================
It is quite obvious that when the students are in very large numbers in a class, the teacher can’t pay individual attention. I think as far as students are attentive in the class, teachers attention to individual hardly matters. Not all students in a class need personal attention, because they are smart and grasp the lessons quickly by themselves. However some of the students who are a little weak can surely get personal attention of the teachers.

Nevertheless for the teacher to be able to monitor progress of all students of a class, it is necessary that proper student teacher ratio is adhered to. Student-Teacher ratio refers to the number of teachers in a school or university with respect to the number of students who attend the school or university. For example, a student teacher ratio of 10:1 means that there are 10 students for every one teacher available. The term can also be reversed to be teacher-student ratio. If one classroom has a 30:1 ratio and the other has a 10:1 ratio, the school could claim to have a 20:1 ratio overall. But if the ratio is 50:1, the school needs to hire more teachers. In a way 40:1 is the ideal ratio where all students can get proper attention of the teacher.

Summarizing, this is the responsibility of the educational authorities to inspect schools and universities periodically to ensure a right student-teacher ratio and in the event of this ratio changing due to greater number of students, educational authorities must strictly advice schools to hire more teachers and maintain appropriate student – teacher ratio. This shall help all students get better attention of the teachers if not individual attention. ----------(280 Words)

“Attend Regular Classes at University or Not?”

Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.
============================================
I am strongly of the view that students must attend classes regularly without fail. The reason being, classes are conducted on a fixed schedule on regular basis. This induces the traits of regularity and punctuality among the students which is very important for good personality building.

Further more lectures for instruction in the classes on a particular subject matter and related topics are given by the most qualified and highly experienced professors who are specialized in that particular subject and the area. They give most valid information and teachings on the subject matter that is very precious. Thus the education imparted is fundamentally strong and that of an excellent quality. To get this high quality of education is impossible for a student staying in isolation and not attending the classes.

On the other hand during the student life, boys and girls have an extremely strong urge to play, enjoy and be merry even at the cost of studies. The situation when students are allowed not to attend classes would obviously result into basically unsound and poor quality of education. Students are the nation builders and lives of numerous people depend upon them as many may be turn out to be Physicians, Surgeons, Pilots etc. These professions call for fundamentally sound education and that of a very superior quality.

In conclusion, for an individual’s own self development, a disciplined life is most important. And attending classes regularly and punctually shall induce said discipline in the university students that is a paramount importance for a powerful personality hence attending classes must be compulsory for the university students and not optional.

"Ask A Famous Person One Question”

If you could ask a famous person one question, what would you ask? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
==========================
My only one question to a successful person would be “How you pursued your dream?”

All successful people have some dream. They work hard pursuing their dreams and finally make their dream come true. “All successful people; men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose." Brian Tracy

A great Indian entrepreneur and creator of gigantic Reliance Empire is Late Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani of India. He was born in country side and his father was a School Teacher with a meager income. Dhirubhai after having passed his tenth grade went to Aden where he was hired as a petrol pump attendant. One day he dreamed of building his own Oil Refinery. Although it sounds crazy and quixotic an idea for a petrol pump attendant however this was his dream and he built his dream refinery in Jamnagar India. This is the biggest single grass root Oil Refinery of the world. This is famous world wide as Reliance's 25-Million Metric Ton Oil Refinery. This refinery went on stream in the year1999. This achievement is attributable to the persistent hard work for pursuing his dream.

Another example of big entrepreneur is the Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates is most famous entrepreneur of this era. He had the vision to predict the evolving importance of the personal computer. This allowed him to top Forbes magazine’s list of the world’s wealthiest individuals, with a 2006 estimated net worth of $50 billion.

In conclusion all big entrepreneurs and achievers have dreams; they work hard to pursue them and finally make their dreams come true by achieving their goals. --------------(285 Words)

“Are Computers Essential In Education?” ---

Are computers an essential feature in modern education? What subjects can be better taught using computers? Are there aspects of a good education that can not be taught by using computers? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your experience. Write minimum 250 Words.
============================
Of course computers are one of an essential feature in modern education. Students come across computers both at home and at school. Governments worldwide have introduced computers and internet connections in classrooms. Most people welcome computers that have improved the ways we work and we play. Technology is advancing at a speed that is far beyond our imagination. Now computers are an essential feature not only in education alone but in our daily lives too.

With the help of computers, descriptive subjects like History, Geography, Civics, Social Studies, can be best taught. Furthermore subjects like Elementary Mathematics including Arithmetic can also be taught using computers. However subjects that involve logic and reasoning can’t be taught very well with the help of computers because the latter involves detailed explanation by a teacher to a student. Teacher goes on explaining the student till such time student and teacher are reasonably satisfied about the matter. This can’t be done by using computer.

Computers are although one of the essential features in modern education but computers can not assess or reflect on a students grasp or weakness. They can not monitor an individual student’s progress or development that is most essential for improvement and progress of a student. Learning and teaching is a human process involving human touch and communication and in this process, emotions play a vital role in a student’s learning and motivating process but these are totally absent in a computer that is a proven emotionless companion. Hence presence of a teacher in the class room is a paramount importance and the human teacher is the most essential feature in the education.

In conclusion computers an essential feature in modern education.

“Are Academic Qualifications Becoming Devalued?”

As more and more students enter universities, academic qualifications are becoming devalued. To get ahead in many professions, more than one degree is now required and in future it is likely that people will take number of degree courses before even starting work. This is an undesirable situation. Do you agree or disagree? (Write minimum 250 Words)
==============================================================
I do agree that in the present scenario more degrees are needed to get ahead in professions. However I do not agree that because more number of students gets qualified, degrees are becoming devalued. Nor do I agree that there is anything undesirable in acquiring more number of degrees.

Increase in population gives rise to tough competition. And overall progress and advancement in technology and every sphere demands high qualification. Looking into Information Technology one has to have good degree and sound knowledge to keep pace with the time and progress.
Looking back in health monitoring and care, X-rays had its own limitation. To win over this limitation man invented Cat-Scan that can penetrate through bones and take picture and the problem can be pin pointed and made good. Likewise complete computerization is there in all businesses like railways, banking, airlines, communication, and media including aircraft and spacecraft movements. Similarly one could never imagine that a human can reach moon, walk over there and talk from there, stay there and safely return back to earth. This is not an ordinary thing that can be achieved with limited school education. Such adventures call for a very high education and degrees. Not to forget that “Survival is for the fittest”. In a way if more and more people acquire more number degrees they acquire higher qualification but the degrees in no way become devalued.

In conclusion with more progress and advancement, higher education and more degrees are required. Highly qualified professionals build a powerful nation. It is wrong to say that degrees get devalued or there is anything undesirable. ---------------------------------- (267 Words)

“Appropriate Retirement Age”

When should people be made to retire? Should there be a compulsory retirement age?
Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their or even earlier because of company or national regulations. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working for as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.
There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. Secondly older employees are extremely loyal employees and are willing to implement company policies than younger and less committed staff. However, more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over.
Allowing older people to work indefinitely is not always a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff. Having obligatory retirement age, allows new ideas in an organization. However older people should be rewarded for their valuable contribution and must be given generous pension and freedom to enjoy their leisure.
If older employees are not given superannuation, young people will stay to be unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions. Hence it is necessary for older people to retire and give chance of employment to younger generation. I feel that giving younger workers more and more chance shall motivate workforce for higher productivity.-----(292 words)

“An Important Change in Hometown”

If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
======================================================
If I could change one important thing in my home town, I would change it by doing something concrete to stop the violence. In the following paragraphs of this essay, I shall elaborate my viewpoint.

The violence is the biggest enemy of the mankind and it is destroying not only my hometown but the world rather. I would like to have a better and peaceful place to live. I wish everybody would help each other and would not fight or kill fellowmen. I wish I could replace the narcotic drugs, tobacco products and alcohol with food, milk and water because innumerable children are hungry and they die of starvation and thirst every day. I would love to help the homeless because they don't have any food, water and shelter or any place to live. If the people by large, stop smoking and/or consuming other tobacco products, they can live a disease free and better life. Smoking and consumption of other tobacco products cause “Cancer” and “Oral Fibrosis” which are dreadful and life taking. I wish the children could go to schools, and have proper education, in turn they would listen to their parents and their teachers and respect them so they can have the best education and information of what is the best for everybody. I wish I could stop the communal riots, arson and ransacking. I wish my hometown to be a peaceful place to live, free from wars, riots or massacres.

In conclusion, if I could change one important thing in my home town, I would change it by doing something concrete to stop the violence so that my hometown becomes an ideal place to live with peace and harmony. (282 Words)

“Age for Starting Schooling”

Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with and why?
======================================================
I very strongly opine that children under the age of 4 years must spend most of their time playing rather than going to schools.

Generally School starting and leaving ages are set by law after a great deal of detailed study and research work. A child is required to attend school from the age of five to the age of 16. However most children start school in Kindergarten before they are five; say between 4 and 5 years of age. The current minimum age for leaving school is 16 years by the time they complete their high school or Matriculation examination and secure college admission. Truly speaking age of the children earlier than four is the age for play, eat and sleep and enjoy.

Of late parents have turned over enthusiastic about their kids becoming peak performers too soon. As a result they start sending their children to private schools etc too early even before they complete 3 years of age that is very harmful. By doing so children are deprived of their genuine privileges of playing and merrymaking. Rather children are forced to follow a fixed schedule, of attending school and doing home work when they should rightly play and enjoy. In the process, children too early start comparing themselves with the other children and develop an inferior feeling when they fail to perform as good as other children. This is detrimental to their mental as well as physical health.

In nutshell, children must be allowed to grow-up in the natural way. They must be allowed to play till they complete four years and then only they should be sent to school. (---273 Words)

“Advertising Tells About Country” ---

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising can tell you a lot about a country. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
====================================
I agree advertising can tell us a lot about the country. Advertising is just like a mirror that reflects detailed information of the host country in which it exists.

For example in Singapore, feature films in a cinema are supported by a “first half” consisting entirely of commercials. People hurry-up into the cinema so as not to miss any, and are excited when a new one appears. The ads are part of the program, a capitalist’s dream. Although both countries show a significant tendency to use more symbolic values than product attribute values in retail advertising. Moreover, the value “individualism” is used more often in television commercials shown in Singapore than in Malaysia. This is likely due to the fact that Malaysia is still hesitant to promote values that are perceived to run counter to established conventions. As for Singapore, the government has been relatively neutral in advertising content as long as religion, language and race are not exploited. Most commercials therefore tend to portray materialistic pursuit. Television commercials shown in Malaysia do not carry the value “sex” and “work”, whereas those shown in Singapore do not portray the value “leisure”.

For example, Japanese advertising is totally different of that of in Europe. Japanese television advertising is dominated by 15–second spots; therefore long narrative stories are not commonplace. In fact, most commercials opt to tell short stories or represent brief scenes. Japanese commercials do not seek to tie up all loose ends, in the same way that most western commercials do. Whereas Western advertising seeks to be much more comprehensive, tying up the creative idea, product story and narrative.

Summarizing, advertising tells lot about the host country. --(278 Words)

“Advertising of New Products”---

Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
====================================================
I agree to the latter view point that advertisements tell us about the new products available that may improve our lives.

Advertising is a means of communication to masses about the products that are available in the markets. Depending upon the individual need, one can buy and make use of those. Before a decade Personal Computers, were advertised comprising of Central Processing Unit, and Monitor to be put on working desk. Those were popularly knows as Desk-Tops. Now personal computers are advertised as small, compact, mobile, light weight, Note Pads those are known as Lap-Tops can be carried any where and operated by putting on our lap. Now introduction of laptops in the offices has made a great saving of space, more people can work in the same area, and because of the improved features of the Laptops as compared to old model PC’s, work efficiency of the people has increased. They give more output with less effort of the person working.

Advertising is a powerful tool in the Business. Several Industrial Trade Fairs, IT Fares, Health and Fitness Fare, Educational Fare, Automobiles Fare, Fashion Fare etc are organized and conducted periodically. The basic idea behind these fares is to communicate masses about availability of the newer products, their new features etc. This facilitates customers to buy the products as per their respective needs.

It is absolutely wrong to say that advertisements motivate us to buy things that we do not need. After-all buying is one’s mature decision; buying any unwanted thing is sheer childish

In a nutshell advertising is a powerful means of mass communication and that keeps the population well informed about the latest product available which can be bought by individuals if they need. (287 Words)

“Advertising Is All Around us”---

Advertising is all around us it is an unavoidable part of everyone’s life. Some people say advertising is a positive part of our lives while others say it is negative. Discuss both the views and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You must write at least 250 words.
==================================================
Advertising is an integral and a vital aspect of business sector. Advertisements are the means to communicate to masses by large, about the latest products and services available. Advertisements are the information and help to masses. Advertisements promote and enhance business and thereby economy of the nation.

However some advertisements of sleek undergarments of ladies are made highly sexy in appearance. Those advertisements are displayed in the form of huge hoardings by side of roads and on freeways. Those divert attention of drivers and result into road mishaps. Secondly those advertisements while aired on television are seen by children and those have negative and undesirable impact on the tender minds.

Some advertisements of Alcoholic beverages, Cigarette, Cigars and Tobacco products (popularly known as GUTKHA in India) are the most detrimental. By seeing these, viewers regardless of their age are tempted to use them and they finally fall into the trap of addiction and ruin their health.

Many advertisements of soft drinks like Coke, Pepsi etc are aired on TV with great exaggeration. Showing the consumer burning his clothes in flames and jumping from a tall building top and yet safely landing on the ground without even getting a bruise. This is absolutely unnatural and trick photography. This had bad effect on the minds of younger generation. In many cases, boys in the process of imitating the said advertisement set their clothes on fire and jumped down to the ground and all of them died. This is most pathetic.

In conclusion while advertising is an essential tool for enhancement of businesses, care must be exercised not to generate misleading advertisements or very sexy advertisements that can prove injurious. (277 Words)
