　　Every time we turn on the TV, we might encounter advertising. Some people enjoy the benefits advertisements bring, while others say that commercials on TV are annoying. According to my own experience, I can positively point out that the major advantage of TV ads lies in its convenience.
　　Advertising on TV can first save me a lot of time. With the help of TV ads, it is unnecessary for me to spend much time trying to find the goods I need from one shop to another. What's more, advertising on TV can also save me much money. I can compare the similar products advertised on TV and finally get the best and cheapest one without stepping out of the door. Last but not least, some chiming music and vivid plot of TV ads are no less enjoyable than certain programs.
　　To sum up, advertising on TV plays a vital role in our daily life, from which we can conveniently get to know what products are available, how much they cost us and where to get them—in a pleasant way.
