Sadly, we are manipulated by the allure of brand in different way. Some get in debt or even bankrupt because cannot resist desire, on the other hand, some choose to buy cheaper substitutes. In order to meet the latter consumer demand for owing brand product in low price, counterfeits has skyrocketed in the past decade. Today we're going to talk about these two relative topics.

3. What is your favorite brand? Why do you love their products over other products?
4. Some people think that counterfeiting market helps stimulate the economy, while others think it would damage the economy. What's your opinion and Why?
