12、ur talk very interesting and I can see that the work of an advertising agency is very complicated and also very expensive.But do adverts really work?I hardly ever notice them,and even with the ones I do notice,I usually forget the name of the product.T:Thats an excellent question.And youre quite rig
13、ht,we dont notice many of the advertisements we see or hear every day.But we do remember ads for products we would like to have.After this lesson,try this experiment.Each of you write down the name of the product that is advertised in the two or three advertisements you do remember.Then make a list.
14、I guarantee that the list will be quite short because most of you are interested in the same products,such as sports shoes,fashion clothes,movies and so on.I think you WILL remember the names of these products simply because they are relevant to your lifestyle.H:Another question?Ben.B:Ms Teflon,youv
15、e talked about how much money companies spend on advertising.Well,if they didnt spend that money,wouldnt the things we buy be cheaper?T:Good point,Ben.But you see,a companys advertising cost is a very small part of their overall budget.They spend hundreds of times more money on making the products a
16、nd getting them into the shops.So you see,saving on advertising wouldnt make much difference to the cost.S:I find adverts annoying.They interrupt my programmes on television and all those big billboards around town are so UGLY.Advertising benefits the advertiser,but it doesnt benefit ordinary people
17、.Wouldnt our world be better if we made advertising illegal?T:Yes,I understand your feelings,but in fact,wed be a lot worse off without advertising.For a start,there would be no magazines.You see,it costs a lot to produce a magazine,and theyd be very expensive to buy if the advertisers didnt pay mos
18、t of the cost by buying advertising space in the magazine.The same thing applies to television.The ads pay for the programmes.T:How can you tell if an advertisement is telling the truth or not?T:Mmm.Thats another good question.Well first.(fade out)Listening on P88Read the three advertisements and th

29、B:Hey,Ive just thought of a great idea for the student advertisements.How about saying:“Bring a friend and youll get in for half price?We could put that ad all around the school.S:But well lose money if we sell half-price seats.B:Yes,but more people will come.Anyway,we can increase the price of the tickets a bit so we can afford to give some away at half price.1.Write down the ad in your exercise book.2.Finish your workbook exercises.Homework
