Unit 4 - Advertising • Do you think that advertising makes you more likely to buy a product because it is more familiar to you? Explain your answer with examples. • Tell me about a time you bought something because you saw it in an advertisement. • Which companies do you trust most, and why? • Describe an advertisement you’ve seen recently. What techniques did it use to try to persuade you to buy the product? How effective was the ad?
Advice for the written exam. • Please write your answers clearly! • On the matching, please write a clear uppercase letter (A, B, C, D, etc.). • Many lowercase letters (a, b, c, d, etc.) look similar to each other with sloppy handwriting. • On the multiple choice questions please circle your answers. • If I do not know what your answer is, it is wrong.
Written Test Procedure • Clear your desk. • Spread out. • BE QUIET once I start handing out tests. • If you have a question or a problem, please raise your hand and tell me. • Write your answers clearly. • When you have finished, please put your test paper on my podium. • Leave the room quietly.
