18、lso add your own ideas that are not listed here. All right. Would you begin novo“! Key Points: Positive: 1. Advertising is an effective and direct link between manufacturers and customers. 2. It is an effective way of exchanging information. It helps to keep people abreast of the latest development.
19、 3. It can promote and popularize new products, giving people everywhere a wider choice of products. 4. It can introduce new development in science and technology. 5. Customers are given a chance to compare products and choose the best one. It can therefore help us to make a prudent and wise decisio
20、n. 6. Some advertisements are of high artistic value, being original and well-de signed. They are an indispensable part of modern society. 7. Advertising creates a fairer environment for commercial competition. 8. Advertisements pay for many kinds of services that we enjoy every day, such as newspap
21、ers and TV series. 9. It creates jobs by relieving the pressure of unemployment. 10. It helps to keep prices within bounds by means of competition. 11.It makes peoples lives more convenient. 12.Advertising plays an important role in our economic life and is indispensable to our consumer society. 13.
22、It helps manufacturers to compete for share of the market. 14. Advertisements can be entertaining and sometimes even attractive. Negative: 1. Some advertisements advocate unhealthy lifestyles, exerting pressure on the younger generation. 2.They add to the cost of the products we purchase. 3. Unwante
23、d leaflets and handouts littered in cities pollute the environment. 4. Advertisements are not always truthful, many are fictitious, exaggerating and misleading. 5. Some advertisements induce people to spend more and create a demand for things that we dont need. 6. Good products shouldnt need to be a
24、dvertised. 7. Advertisements may give rise to unhealthy competition among businesses. 8. There are other ways for people to find out about products. It is a waste to invest large sums of money in making advertisements. 9. Advertisements can be a nuisance when they interrupt television programmes and
25、 when our mailboxes are full of flyers. In this way advertisements are annoying and intrusive, and there is nothing we can do other than accept them passively. 10. To sum up, there is no denying that advertisements have many merits, but in my opinion, a world without advertisements would be more hon
26、est and peaceful. Current situation: 1. Advertisements are everywhere in modern society. For example, billboards line the streets in cities, newspapers are full of adverts and yet more appear on TV. Whether you like it or not, adverts are pouring into your life. 2. In order to attract more customers
27、, advertisers will go to extremes. They use all kinds of approaches in their advertisements, including sound, light, colours, cartoon films, and human performance. 3. Although advertisements enable you to make decisions about products, they can also be very annoying. For example, when they interrupt
28、 films on TV. They can also be confusing as it is difficult to decide which product to choose. 4. Although advertisements may have negative effects, a modern world without them would be very boring. Perhaps governments should censor advertisements more carefully. Customers should always be on their
29、guard so that they are not misled. 5. In short, advertising is a booming industry that is continually developing. Like anything else, it has its advantages and its disadvantages. However, it has become in dispensable to our present-day life. What we should do is to ban deceptive advertisements while
30、 encouraging the healthy development of the advertising industry. 三、继续性问答 3 【正确答案】 Examiner:All right. Now,lets move to the third part. In this part of the test Im going to give each of you a list of three different topics. Id like you to select one of the topics and give a short presentation for ab
31、out a minute. When (say the name of Candidate A)has finished talking , Id like you , (say the name of Candidate B), to ask him/her one or tzvo questions. You may make notes while you are preparing and take notes while the other person is talking. Now youll have 2 minutes to prepare. All right. Now (
32、say the name of Candidate A) , would you begin by telling us which topic you have chosen and then give your presentation , please? Key: Once upon a time there lived a beautiful young woman and a handsome young man. They were very poor, but as they were deeply in love, they wanted to get married. The
33、 young peoples parents shock their heads. “You cant get married yet, “they said,“wait till you get a good job with good prospects. “ So the young people waited until they found good jobs with good prospects and they were able to get married. They were still poor, of course, they didnt have a house t
34、o live in or any furniture, but that didnt matter. The young man had a good job with good prospects, so large organizations lent hirn the money he needed to buy a house, some furniture, all the latest electrical appliances and a car. They lived happily ever after paying off debts for the rest of the
35、ir lives. And so ends another modern romantic fable. We live in a materialistic society and are trained from our earliest year to be concerned with acquiring possessions. Our possessions, “mine“and “yours“are clearly labelled from early childhood. When we grow old enough to earn a living, it does no
36、t surprise us to discover that success is measured in terms of how much money you earn. We spend the whole of our lives trying to keep up with our neighbours. If we buy a new television set, Jones is bound to buy a bigger and better one. If we buy a new car, we can be sure that they will get one bet
37、ter or get two new cars. The most amusing thing about this game is that every one who is struggling frantically to keep up with each other are spending borrowed money provided at a suitable rate of interest, of course, by banks, insurance companies, etc. It is not only in affluent societies that peo
38、ple are obsessed with the idea of making more money. Consumer goods are desirable everywhere and modern industry deliberately sets out to create new markets. Gone are the days when industrial goods were made to last forever, goods are made to be discarded. This materialistic outlook has seriously in
39、fluenced education. Fewer and fewer young people these days acquire knowledge only for its own sake. Every course of study must lead somewhere to bigger wage packet. The demand for skilled personnel far exceeds the supply so big companies compete with each to recruit students before they have comple
40、ted their studies. They are offered tempting salaries and “fringe benefits“. Recruiting tactics of this kind have led to the “brain drain“, a process by which highly skilled people offer their services to the highest bidder. Wealthier nations deprive their poorer neighbours of their most able citizens.
