Question

My summary:Advertisements provide consumers with free information on the products and services and are categorised into two types: informative advertisements and persuasive ones. The number of persuasive advertisements which talk people into buying their products by extravagant claims outstrips that of informative advertisements despite their usefulness. Also, advertisements help pay for the prices of magazines and newspapers, which contain advertising content. Useful as advertisements can be for shoppers, they still have imperfections. Since the main aim of advertising is to sell products, product defects are not revealed to consumers, which sometimes leads to buyers' feeling fooled. Additionally, as a lot of corporations manufacture products of the same kinds, advertisements by arch-rivals can get extremely intensive. Moreover, due to a large number of advertisements, consumers occasionally cannot decide what to buy and have to incur the incrementing cost of production. In general, people cannot be bereft of advertisements, but they must be alert with them.

You wrote 154 words, which is within the guidelines of the instructions. There is some repetitive text which should be removed.

You missed the primary point, which is in the concluding paragraph. The article is written by someone who is arguing that the advantages of advertising outweigh the disadvantages.

Pay particular attention to the introduction and conclusion of articles. That is where the purpose of the article lies, and you need to capture that in a summary.

Example:

The author believes that advertising, ubiquitous as it is, has more advantages than disadvantages for consumers. He separates ads into two distinct kinds, the predominant persuasive ads, which are intent on causing us to buy the item, and the rarer informative ones, which give very useful decision points about the product or service. On the plus side, they assist people in product selection by providing comparative information. Furthermore, it reduces the price we pay for newspapers and other media that contain them. On the other hand, ads can be very confounding, bothersome and intrusive. In particular, advertisements intent on selling can make outlandish claims, enhancing the good and concealing the negative aspects of the products, which results in disappointed buyers. The more common commodities, such as soap, are very heavily advertised as their firms struggle to gain market share and that cost must be incorporated into the pricing.
