"This is a great paragraph!" says Irina
But I do give credit when credit is due. So, today I want to share a great paragraph written by a student.
Topic: "Nowadays, some consumers are less influenced by advertising than in the past. What are the reasons? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?"
🍁 Student's first body paragraph, as is:
"The impact of advertising on consumers is less significant than it was in the past for several reasons. First of all, due to excessive exposure to adverts of all shapes and forms both offline and online, people have grown increasingly desensitized to this kind of content. This means that whenever a person encounters an advert they either simply ignore it or skip it in case of online marketing. Besides being fatigued by constant ad exposure, consumers have also become adept at recognizing advertising patterns early on. So, in that sense, people nowadays can easily differentiate between genuine recommendations and marketing ploys, which makes them less likely to fall for adverts."

The cherry on top is the paragraph was written in a matter of minutes, in class. It is great, isn't it? The only recommendation I would give is to change "So, in that sense," for "As a result," or something synonymous.
You can try your hand at "Do you think it is a positive or negative development?" in the comments. 📝
