Content Standard (s) Samples of advertisements
What is an advertisement?
An advertisement (often shortened to advert or ad) is the
promotion of a product, brand or service to a viewership in
order to attract interest, engagement and sales. Advertisements
come in many forms, from copy to interactive video, and have
evolved to become a crucial feature of the app marketplace. An
advertisement is different from other types of marketing because
it is paid for, and because the creator of an advert has total
control over the content and message.

Read the text below.

BE WISE THINK TWICE
We are constantly surrounded by advertisements from billboards to television
commercials. Everywhere we turn, we are bound on to see advertisements. Do
advertisements give us accurate information of the true worth of the product advertised as
good as they claim to be? How often have you gone back feeling cheated after a shopping
trip? The fact is many of us do and many of us are like to get cheated again!

So what can we do to protect ourselves from being cheated? To begin with, never give
in to sales gimmicks. If you are told that the price is only ‘right now’, walk away!
Salespeople do not want to think about the product, there is a good chance that you will
reconsider buying it.

Apart from that, practise self-control and avoid making decisions that you may regret
later. Before you go shopping, prepare a shopping list of the things that you need to buy. Set
a spending limit do that you do not buy things that you may regret later. In this way, you will
spend within your budget.

Always do a research on the product from buying it. Compare prices and know the
value of the product that you buy. Do your homework so that it is worth buying it.

Being a smart consumer is not just about getting a good deal. It also means spending
within your limits, knowing your rights as a consumer and being an informed consumer.
False advertisements can appear anywhere. Take responsibility for your spending habits. Be
a wise and smart consumer.

possessions.

on familiar topics.

4.2 Communicate with appropriate language form and style.

Learning Standard (s) 4.1.1 Give detailed information about themselves and others

RELATED NOTES

1. Choose one and give reasons/advice.
2. Short text (80 words).
3. No text for reference (you think of your own content).
4. Go straight to the point

A: “What are you going to do this weekend?”
B: “Hey, how are you? I’m good. By the way, I am planning to go to the library this
Saturday.”
or
A: “What are you going to do this weekend?”
B: “I am thinking to go to the library this Saturday.”
Which is more natural in your daily life? There you go. Remember, natural
language wins.
So in the new format we want to take away all the not so natural greetings and go
straight to the point.
5. Explain All the Good Things and Some of the Bad Things
- One way to help students elaborate is to get them to think about the good things
about their choice and the bad things about what they have rejected.
6. A Short and Sweet Ending
- Again, write as natural as you can.
"I think you should …….. If you know how……, you can always………. It is also
……………. You do not have to………... So I think ……… is the best for you. Hope this
helps.’
