TRICKS OF ADVERTISING

Advertisers use a lot of tricks to make us buy what they have on offer. Here are a few examples.

Uwaga: dwa nagłówki zostały podane dodatkowo i nie pasują do żadnej części tekstu.

4.1.

Companies want to make us think that we are special when we buy their goods. That’s why they often hire big names in sport and cinema or famous TV personalities when they make commercials. When we see that film stars or well-known athletes use the advertised goods, we might think that we are as popular or attractive as they are.

4.2.

Companies do their best to make the goods they advertise as attractive as possible. For example, to make fruits and vegetables shiny, hairspray is used. Another example is meat. It often dries out when you cook it, so the steak or sausage used in an ad is usually only partially cooked to keep it plump and juicy.

4.3.

A lot of commercials are designed to put pressure on you. The message is: if you don’t buy now, you will miss your chance because the number of products is limited. However, you should take your time. It is more than likely that you will not be late. As long as the product is in demand, it will stay on the market.

4.4.

Another way of increasing sales is to convince people that they can save when they buy more things. But is it so? If a shirt costs $30 and you buy one, you pay $30. If you buy another one for half the price, you think you have saved $15, but in fact you paid $45 for your shopping. And do you really need two new shirts which look the same?

KEITH’S POST

Posted 25 August, 11.05

Here I am again but what a day it was! In the early morning, after a night at the Ivy Hotel in Cincinnati, Dad called the airline to confirm our flight. The woman on the phone said there was a mistake. There wasn’t any plane to Seattle at 9 a.m. In fact, the next available flight was in twelve hours! Can you imagine? Dad shouted, begged and threatened. He kept saying he was travelling with two kids. Finally, the representative booked us on a flight with a connection in Minneapolis. We weren’t happy about it, thinking of everything that could go wrong. Finally, late in the evening, we arrived home. Welcome back!

A. making a mistake when booking a hotel.

B. something that went wrong during a flight.

C. a problem with a return journey.

5.2. Kate wrote the letter

Dear Editor,

I’ve read your article advertising the Riviera Hotel as a peaceful place to have some rest and enjoy the countryside. You must be joking! I was there last month with my parents and it’s the worst place you can imagine! There’s some construction work going on nearby. The builders are using heavy machinery, so the noise and dust make relaxation impossible. There were also serious complaints about the standard of the hotel buffet. The holiday was a nightmare.

Kate, 19, Manchester

A. to express dissatisfaction with her stay at a hotel.

B. to complain about the behaviour of hotel staff.

C. to give advice on how to avoid problems in a hotel.

5.3. The boy spoke to Harry because

AT THE RAILWAY STATION

A steam engine was waiting. The first few carriages were packed with students, some hanging out of the window to talk to their families, some fighting over seats. Harry pushed his trolley down the platform in search of an empty seat. He pressed on through the crowd until he found an empty compartment near the end of the train. He started to move his suitcase towards the train door. He tried to lift it up the steps but could hardly raise one end and dropped it painfully on his foot.
“Want a hand with it?” a red-haired boy asked. “Yes, please. That’s very kind of you,” Harry replied.

A. Harry had left the trolley on the platform.

B. he wanted to offer Harry his help with the luggage.

C. there were no empty seats in the compartment.
