Opinions are divided about if we should buy products promoted by stars.

Some students say that they prefer to buy products promoted by stars because of most of the stars care about the quality of the product they are going to advertise.

Besides, buying those products is a way to support the stars they like.

However, other think what some stars really care is money but not the quality of the product when they make a advertisement.

In addition, the product that a star advertises is not necessary suitable for everyone.

To my opinion, we should be cool and sensible while chosen a product.

The main aspect we are supposed consider is not the advertisement or the star and the quality of the product and its real usefulness in our daily life.
