At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was i

n great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.

V. Let’s Talk
The Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”
The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister’s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, ‘Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University’s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters’ permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”. Mr. Coleman’s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You” had altogether replaced the sisters’ original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.

1. teacher at a kindergarten
2. Good Morning to All
3. Happy Birthday to You
4. Happy Birthday to You Good Morning to All
Possible Retelling for the Teacher’s Reference
The story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens.
Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters’ permission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. This new s

ong soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sisters’ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her sister really owned the song.

Dalin: Really? In China, karaoke is a very popular way for friends ro spend time together. We can select the music that ur group enjoys. We mostly sing pop songs.

Task 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?
So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn’t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp” for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray’s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.

Task 3: Thank You for the Music
I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’re probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honestly
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
…

Musical Memories
Tony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn’t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”
Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what’s the big deal?
Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King. That’s the Elton John

song from the movie.
Nancy: I still can’t understand why it’s so important to you.
Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really loved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times!
Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date, we went to see Titanic. I always think of the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song! Whenever I hear it, I think of that night.
Tony: Oh, I can understand why you love that song! Isn’t it interesting all the memories we connect with songs?

Task 1: Waiting for the New Harry Potter Movie
Amy: I’m so excited about finally seeing this movie!
Peter: Me too. I’m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series?
Amy: She’s already written Book Seven? I’m still waiting for Book Five…
Peter: I know. Who isn’t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.
Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?
Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.
Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood… It scares me to death just to think about it!

Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.

Task 2: A Great Actor
There was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: ‘Ah, the sweet smell of my love.’” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage

, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!” he cried. “You’ve ruined my play! You’ve ruined me!” The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?” “No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”

Task 3: Movie Reviews
I love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It’s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It’s great!
Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.
“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It’s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.
“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it’s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.

Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?
John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie. So he was able to get the tickets for free.

previous ones.
John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!
Laura: Why do you think so?
John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-art
special effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.
Laura: You’re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so
many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.

SAMPLE DIALOG
A: What did you think about The Lion King?
B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It’s a killer flick.
A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.
B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?
A: Well, it’s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings.
B: You’re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.

Model 3 The plot is first-class.
John: It’s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie.
Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.
John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.
Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was that strong.
John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?
Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak. They just didn’t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.
John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone

else playing that part.
Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He’s soooo cute!

A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.
B: Yeah, I liked her too. She’s adorable!

V. Let’s Talk
Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.
Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock’s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?” “Gooseflesh.” replied Hitchcock.
Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he’d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.

Task 2: An Interview with J.K. Rowling
Q: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?
A: I was traveling on a train between Mancheste

r and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn’t know he was a wizard.
Q: Did you always plan to write Harry’s story in more than one book? If so, how many?
A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry’s life at the school.
Q: Any clues about the next book?
A: I don’t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry’s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!
Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?
A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn’t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!

Views on Movies
Interviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I’d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?
Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is much better.
Interviewer: What about you, Richard?
Richard: Just the opposite. It’s more comfortable to sit at home.
Interviewer: There’re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What’s your per

sonal favorite?
Robert: My favorite would be action movies.
Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.
Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?
Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to compare them with today’s technology, and you’ll find there isn’t anything to compare. It’s so superior today.
Richard: I agree.

Task 2: Problem of Meeting People
Before the wedding, the groom went up the minister with an unusual offer. “Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I’m expected to promise to ‘love, respect and obey her,’ ‘giving up all others,’ and ‘be true to her forever,’ I’d be happy if you’d just leave that part out.” He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom

reached that part of the ceremony where they would make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom’s vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, “Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you will never even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?” The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself, he said in a low voice, “Yes, I will.” Then the groom whispered to the minister, “I thought we had a deal.” The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”

The announcement typically includes the names of the bride, the bridegroom and their parents and the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, we sent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This is the church where we had the wedding. My father gave me to my future husband. Then the minister started the wedding ceremony. He greeted the guests, and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows and gave each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister prayed for us. Then the minister declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here is my sister, who was a bridesmaid. This is the bouquet I carried. Traditionally, the unmarried women gather after the wedding, and the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one who catches it will, according to tradition, be the next one to get married. At the reception, we cut the wedding cake and fed each other bites of the cake. Then we toasted each other with champagne. Finally the reception was over, and the minister signed the marriage certificate and we were legally married.

John: Hey, Se-Jin, what’s wrong with you? You look so down!
Se-Jin: Nothing.
John: I know it’s not your studies, so it must be girl trouble. You must have a broken heart.
Se-Jin: Well, you’re right. I just broke up with Alice.
John: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you two were made for each other.
Se-Jin: Well, you never know. I want to settle down, but she wants a career while she’s still young.
John: Well, it’s always difficult to choose between career and family.
Se-Jin: Maybe you’re right.
John: I don’t know what to say to comfort you, but try to cheer up!

Laura: I know he’s fur years younger than you, but he’s mature for his age.

Mary: Maybe you’re right.

Jane: Really? What is this something?
Laura: Well, he’s mature, handsome, gentle, and successful. I think he’s for me.
Jane: He’s certainly mature, but don’t you think he’s a little old for you? He’s almost twice as old as you are!
Laura: Well, age shouldn’t be something that comes in the way of a person’s marriage.
Jane: It’s true that age isn’t the most important issue, but what would your parents think?
Laura: I don’t care what other people think. I just know that I love him and he loves me. Love’s all that matters.

A: But what would your parents and friends think?
B: I don’ worry too much about what other people think. For me, love is the most important
V. Let’s Talk
Dating
Before marriage, younger Americans date each other, that is, they often go out together. Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goe

s to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as “double dating.” Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a great deal, especially those in cities. This is “adult dating.” They ski together, dine together, either at restaurants or in each other’s homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one. Often young Americans who hardly know each other go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them to arrange a “blind date”, that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.

Keith: Hey, Peter! You’ve been in the room all night. Get out and dance with someone like that babe over there.
Peter: No way, Keith! She’s the intellectual type. My pickup line just won’t work with her.
Keith: Oh, come on, man! What kind of girl do you like?
Peter: I want a girl that gentle and mild, and that babe is not the right type.
Keith: Times are changing, and you’ll never find a woman that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up.
Peter: Oh really? I still prefer women that stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the kids.
Keith: Okay, then what will you do after you get home from work?
Peter: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw our the trash.
Keith: Wit, wait, wait. I can’t believe my ears. You’ll never find a wife.

Task 2: He thinks I’m God.
A young woman brings home her fiancé to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man’s plans. The father invites the fiancé to his study for a drink.
“So what are your plans?” the father asks the young man.
“I am a Bible student,” he replies.
“A Bible student. Hmm.” The father says. “Good, but what will you do to provide my daughter with a nice house such as she’s accustomed to?”
“I will study,”: the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”
“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring such as she deserves?” asks the father.
“I will

concentrate on my studies,” the Youngman replies, “and God will provide for us.”
“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”
“Don’t worry, sir. God will provide,” replies the fiancé.
The conversation goes on like this, and each time the father questions him, the young man insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, “How did it go, honey?”
The father answers, “He had no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I’m God.”

Task 1: The Influence of Advertising
Richard: Dad, I need a pair of new shoes for an important basketball game. My old ones look kind of funny.
Father: Funny! We just bought those last spring. There’s a lot of life left in them.
Richard: But look at this ad with Yao Ming. He says these shoes give him extra spring.
Father: Yao Ming is so tall that he doesn’t need extra spring. Anyway, he makes money than I do. And they probably give him millions of dollars to wear those shoes.
Richard: But if you bought me the shoes, I’d wear them for nothing. And I’d have that extra spring.
Father: Do you think Yao Ming reached the top just because of the shoes he wears? Or was it something else?
Richard: You mean like hard work, dedication, that sort of thing?

Task 2: I’ll get a camera.
One day just before closing time, John rushed into a TV store to buy a color TV set with the money he had saved for three months. The friendly shop assistant was waiting for the day’s last and 100th customer to reach his sales target for his bonus, so he warmly greeted John and showed him the various models on display. He asked John to see how sharp and colorful the imagine on the screen was. At that moment, a new commercial came onto the screen, introducing a popular brand of camera as well as some beautiful pictures it had taken. The camera and pictures attracted John. He suddenly changed his mind and told the shop assistant: “Thank you for the TV commercial. Now I have to hurry to the camera store to get that camera.”

Task 3: Don’t even think about it!
“Don’t even think about it!” is a phrase commonly used in the United States when a person emphatically denies or refuse something.
In 1995, Shaquille O’ Neal, a popular basketball player, made a Pepsi commercial in which this phrase was used. The commercial begins with Shaq playing basketball, and a little kid is watching him. Then the boy cries out the name of this basketball star. Shaq turns to see the kid with a Pepsi n his hand. He walks over to the boy and says, “Hey, can I have it?” He bends over, supposing that his admirer will give him the Pepsi. But then the kid says, “Don’t even think about it!” This commercial was rather popular, and it had been shown on TV for about three years. The commercial seems to have a more dramatic effect than that produced by the Coca-Cola company in the 1970s. In the Coke ad a young boy meets football star “Mean” Joe Green as he is leaving the field a game. The boy gives his hero a bottle of Coke, and in exchange for the drink, the football player throws to the boy, who excitedly catches the souvenir.
The phrase “Don’t even think about it!” is used on many other occasions. Visitors to New York City are often amused to see a road sign with these words: “Don’t even think about parking here.” This road sign means that people are strictly prohibited from parking there.

Model 1 Who pays?
Laura: Hey!
Bob: Hey! Look, this is a cool TV commercial. “Things go better with Coke!”
Laura: I think the Pepsi commercial is just as attractive: “The choice of a new generation!”
Bob: Yeah, but the competitors are just canceling out each other’s efforts.
Laura: That’s quite true. They both spend piles of money to increase their market shares, but neither gains.
Bob: I’m afraid the extra costs of advertising will

be passed on to the consumers.
Laura: I hear that the advertising produces a good image of a product, and that leads to consumer brand loyalty.
Bob: What do you mean by consumer brand loyalty?
Laura: It means consumers are loyal to a certain product and keep buying it. Also, they’re willing to pay more.
Bob: It seems contradictory. In other words, more sales mean lower production costs, but more advertising means higher costs to the consumer. In the end the winner is of course the company.
Laura: That’s true!

A: Look, “Make yourself heard!” The Ericsson’s TV commercial is so cool.
B: I think the Nokia’s commercial is just as fascinating: “Connecting People.”
A: I’m afraid consumers will have to pay for the advertising.
B: I hear that the advertisements create as a favorable on\mage of a product, and that leads to consumer brand loyalty.
A: Could you explain “consumer brand loyalty”?
B: I mean consumers identify with the product and keep buying it. Sometimes they’re even willing to pay more.
A: It is contradictory that increases sales lead to a lower production cost per unit, but more advertising results in greater costs for consumers. The winner is always the company.
B: I agree.
Model 2 Beware of ads!
Peter: Mind if I switch channels? Those TV commercials are killing me.
Jane: How can you say that? Watch: “Take Toshiba, take the world.” Fantastic! There’s a product you can depend on. A powerful product.
Peter: If I were you, I wouldn’t trust those commercials.
Jane: Now, look at this McDonald’s commercials! Aren’t those little kids cute? Oh, and there’s such a warm family feeling.
Peter: Just how an advertising agency wants you to see McDonald’s. you’re the target audience.
When they make TV commercials, they use scientific methods to learn what you’ll like and buy.
Jane: Are you telling me those darling little children biting into Big Macs are part of a scientific project to get me into McDonald’s?
Peter: Advertises don’t bother with facts more. Instead they want the end-user—that’s you—to fall in love with their product.
Jane: I see. So what you’re saying is, “Watch out, or commercials will take over your life.”
Now Your Turn
A: Shall we switch to another channel? I don’t like those TV commercials.
B: Why do you think so? Look: Just do it! What a powerful product.
A: I doubt it.
B: Now, look at this L’Oreal commercial. The model’s skin is so smooth.
A: This is what they want you to believe: use the product and you will get the same skin.
B: You mean they are lying about the product? I don’t really think so.
A: Advertisers now appeal to emotions, not reason. They want you to like their product.
B: Well, I don’t really agree with you, but we can switch to another channel.
Model 3 Are the free magazines free?
Peter: Jane, what’s that magazine you’re reading?
Jane: It’s one of those free magazine you can pick up

around town. It’s got some pretty interesting articles in it.
Peter: Wake up, Jane! It’s not free at all. Look at it: It’s all advertising.
Jane: Maybe so, but if the advertising pays for the magazine, then I don’t have to.
Peter: Sure you do. The cost of the ads is built into the products.
Jane: Still, I think advertising serves a useful purpose. It tells me about new products.
Peter: A lot of companies spend more money on advertising than on making quality products.
Jane: But some commercials are really fascinating. Besides, you have the freedom to choose not to look at the ads.
Peter: Well, it’s time to cook dinner.
Now Your Turn
A: What’s that brochure you’re reading?
B: It’s a giveaway brochure you can easily find here and there. It’s got some pretty interesting things in it.
A: Do you really think so? It’s not really free. Look at all the ads in it.
B: Could be, but I don’t have to pay for it.
A: You bet you do. The cost6oof the ads is included in the products.
B: Still, I think advertising tells me about new products. It helps me in choosing what to buy.
A: This is just what the advertisers want you to do.
B: But some commercials are really fascinating. Besides, you’re didn’t have to believe all the ads.
A: Well, let’s go swimming.
V. Let’s Talk
A Job Ad for a Friendly Employee
A firm advertising for a “friendly” employee has been asked to change its wording because it discriminates against unfriendly people.
Travelco, a travel agency, put in a request for a “Friendly employee” to provide food for its staff. But the Job Center in Bristol told managing director Harry Smith that he would have to remove the word “friendly” before the advertisement could be accepted.
Mr. Smith said he could not believe the decision and thought it was “ridiculous.” He said: “We were told we could not use that particular word because it was discriminatory against people who looked unfriendly. We thought it was ridiculous. It’s only too natural for us to specify what kind of people we want.” He added, “The people at the center have since said they thought they had been a little over the top.”
The center had made it a rule that certain words were nor allowed in ads and the words “motivated” and “enthusiastic” had been banned in the past.
An official of the center said: “We do have guidelines of not using personality characteristics in advertisements to ensure that there is no discrimination in the process.”
She added: “We should leave the dispute to the local judges. They’ll make the final decision. It’s possible that a member of our staff has been over-enthusiastic in cutting out words in ads.”

Nancy: Hey, Robert, what do you think about cigarette ads?
Robert: They’re disgusting. Many countries have banned tobacco ads completely.
Nancy: I heard in the States advertises are not allowed to show young people smoking cigarettes, neither are ads targeted at youth allowed.
Robert: But advertises keep finding ways around the law. Some years ago one cigarette ad showed a deer smoking, but it was dressed in a university sweater. Obviously the ad is trying to attract young people.
Nancy: In order to increase sales, they have to make smoking appealing to young people. Make them think it’s cool.
Robert: Right. Cigarette manufacturers need to keep bringing in new customers. The old ones are dying of lung cancer.
Nancy: Good point. Our Student Union should do some publicity against smoking in campus.

Task 3: An Introduction to Advertising
Advertising has become increasingly specialized in modern times. In today’s business world, supply usually outnumbers demand. There is great competition among different manufacturers of the same kind of product

to attract customers to their product. They always have to remind the consumer of the name and the qualities of their product. They do this by advertising. The manufacturers advertise in the newspapers and on posters. They sometimes pay for songs about their product in commercial radio programs. They employ attractive salesgirls to distribute samples. They organizes competitions, with prizes for the winners. They often advertise on the screens of local cinemas. Most important of all, in countries that have television, they have advertisements put into programs that will accept them. Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements. Sometimes they even spend more on ads than on the products themselves. We usually think so because of the advertisements that say so. Some people never pause to ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth.

Task 3: A Sudden Change in the Parrot’s Attitude
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of this bird’s mouth was rude. John tried every method to change the bird’s attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked. Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And the bird yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer. For a few minutes, John heard the bird scream and kick. Then suddenly there was silence. Not a sound for over a minute. Fearing that he’s hurt the bird, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out and said, “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything I can to correct my poor behavior.”
John was greatly surprised at the bird’s change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had caused such a sudden change in his behavior, the bird continued, “May Ii ask why you put the chickens there and what they did wrong?”
