Part I Writing
答題思路：
Currently, we could hardly live a single day without seeing a celebrity spokesperson promoting a product or a social campaign on TV, net or other media. This is an intensely popular trend that we cannot fail to notice。
The reasons for stars acting as sales models for advertisements may fall into two aspects. On one hand, from the perspective of the companies, stars’ invisibility fuels the customers’ consuming passion, thus contributing a lot to the sales; on the other hand, from the angle of those stars, the high pay of being sales models or spokespeople drives them crazy, regardless of the real quality of the products。
There is no doubt that the celebrity spokespeople could boost the sale of a product. A host of celebrity spokespeople, however, have emerged as the marketing tool of some companies, even companies producing and selling fake and inferior items, which therefore, has exerted negative influence on consumers as well as the whole society. From my point of view, it is high time that measures were taken to eliminate the demerits. Firstly, laws should be worked out to regulate stars’ advertising. Secondly, stars should be conscious of their words and deeds, telling the truth to the public。
