01. Lead in
Guess what the video is about?
Lead in
It’s an advertisement.
5
Where do advertisements usually appear?
Lead in
Advertisements are often shown on TV, particularly at peak time. There are many advertisement posters and billboards along the streets too. They can also appear in newspapers, magazines and at the cinema. Advertisements are also very popular on the Internet.
6
Have you ever purchased a product or service after seeing the advertisement promoting it? Why?
Lead in
Option 1
I often buy biscuits if a famous person I know is printed on the package, though I actually don’t like biscuits. Buying the biscuits gives me a feeling of being a part of the fashion trend.
7
Lead in
Option 2
I don’t easily believe in advertisements. I prefer buying something for its design, especially its shape and colour. Although not all advertisements provide fake information, I don’t feel comfortable following them. I think we should care for the quality of a product rather than it popularity.

15
Read for information: paragraphs 2-3
Reading
1. How have advertising and the mass media developed hand in hand?
2.What is the purpose of a mass media advertising campaign?
The history of advertising has always been closely connected with that of the mass media. As media channels have grown in number and type, so have advertisements.
A mass media advertising campaign is often launched by a
company to make its product or service known to people,
creating in people a desire to buy.

Reading

Memorable slogans can not only boost sales but also even become part of popular culture.
A “brand ambassador” is a famous actor or actress, a sports star, or even a fictional character that a company or its product is linked to.
Typically, films and TV shows with high ratings tend to use product placement. So do video games.

What is the difference between advertising in the past and in the future?
In the past, advertising was to reach as many people as possible with the same message, while in the future, it will be even more about understanding individual customers and sending them advertisements that are tailored to their specific needs.

03. Discussion
Discussion
Discuss the following questions with your partner.
1. What is your favorite advertisement? What techniques does it use to promote the product or service?
2. What is your attitude towards advertising tailored to individual customer’s needs? Give reasons for your answer.
21
Possible answer
My favourite advertisement is for a smartphone. It uses trendy music and creative camera angles to show off the smartphone’s features, while flashing the simple but catchy slogan: “Next Generation”. It presents images of happy energetic young people using the phone to take photos and make videos, with keywords flashing like “Ready! Action!”. This smartphone’s advertisement promises me a bright future and a life of happiness. It makes me feel a part of a confident generation that is full of vitality and will become high achievers in the future.
Discussion
What is your favorite advertisement? What techniques does it use to promote the product or service?
22
Option 1
I am for advertising tailored to individual customers’ needs. It prevents customers from being disturbed by advertisements they are not interested in and as a result helps them find the products or services they are looking for more easily. Customers will also feel more valued as these advertisements address them on a personal level.
Discussion
What is your attitude towards advertising tailored to individual customer’s needs? Give reasons for your answer.
23
Option 2
I am against adverting tailored to individual customers’ needs. With personalized advertisements, people can see only a very narrow selection of products or services, without a chance to learn about other products or services. What’s more, if their needs change or they have to share their device with someone else, these personalized advertisements may not reflect the things they really want to buy.

Community holds environmental protection activity
Our community held a “Green Neighborhood” activity last Saturday to improve residents’ environmental awareness.
Over 200 people joined in. Volunteers picked up litter in the park, planted 50 saplings, and gave out leaflets on waste sorting. Many kids learned to classify garbage correctly.
“It’s everyone’s duty to protect our home,” said a resident. The activity ended with cheers, leaving the community cleaner and greener.
