　　3a Reading to decide

　　On page 106 you will find article talking about advertising.

　　Before you read, guess at the ideas to be talked about in the article. While you read, underline the eXPressions, blacken the connectives and circle the examples of the make/s me + infinitive, make/s me + adjective structures.

　　Advertising: pros and cons

　　In the modern world, advertising is everywhere!Some people think that ads are great. Others hate ads, saying that they make our cities and countryside look ugly. Many ads are aimed specially at teenagers, and some young people see mo re than 100 advertisements a day. It’s true that some ads can be very useful. For instance, they can help you to compare two different products so that you can buy the one you really need. They can also help you save money. When prices are listed, you can go to the store with the lowest price. Ads also tell you when stores are having sales. However, some advertising can be confusing or misleading. Sometimes the words sound good but don’t really tell you anything about the quality of the product. At other times, the picture in an ad looks a lot better than the real thing. And you have to be careful. At times an ad can lead you to buy something you don’t need at all.

　　After you read, decide if you agree with the author or not.

　　3b Reading and completing

　　On page 106 in the center is an unfinished article. Read it and try to complete it using the information about two or more products in activity 2a.

　　Some advertisements tell the truth and some don’t. For example, the Easy Care Shampoo says it will give the shiniest hair ever. But my friend tried it and found it didn’t work. Lookout Sunglasses advertised don’t even keep out the sun! And there is the Starshine Toothpaste. It tastes terrible. It smells! But the Beauty Cream is a real thing. It works really well for me.

　　3c Looking and writing

　　After you read, you are to write! Now go back to page 105 to write slogans of your own with the help of the slogans of theirs there on page 105.

　　Car→ It runs faster and never turns over!

　　Handphone → Call you, hear you, go to you, come to me!
