　托福寫(xiě)作素材模板：電視廣告對(duì)孩子的影響

　　素材段落

　　A recent research study revealed that children under the age of eight are unable to critically comprehend televised advertising messages and are prone to accept advertisers’ messages as truthful, accurate and unbiased. This can lead to a series ofproblems. For example, television advertising aimed at children often encourages a heightened sense of materialism at an early age. Children may develop a product preference after seeing an advertisement on television which could lead to parent-child conflicts when parents deny their children’s advertising-based requests. Another example concerns the marketing of fast food products, soft drinks and other non-nutritious snacks. This type of advertising is directly associated with the increasing rate of childhood obesity. Researchers at the University of Michigan have figured out that children who regularly watch television advertising consume more junk food and have a distorted view of healthy food than households where advertising-free television is viewed.
