The Person I Admire Most

Steven Hawking.

M: Is n?t he the professor at Cambridge with motor neurone disease?

W: That?s right. He?s spent most of his life fighting the disease. He found

out that he?d got it when he was a student. He was at the time only about 20.

M: Goodness. What did he do then?

W: Well, he stopped wasting time. And he started applying himself to his

studies. He knew that he risked dying young, but he became a leading

cosmologist.

M: Where have I heard of him? I know nothing about cosmology.

W: He wrote a book about it for the average person. In fact I remember

seeing it on your bookshelves.

M: Oh, right. “A Brief History of Time”, is that it?

W: Yes, it was a real bestseller, mostly to people who put it on their

bookshelves and didn?t read it.

M: Yeah. How old is he now?

W: He?s in his sixties; I think He?s succeeded in living far longer than

anyone expected him to.

M: But what kind of life can you have with a disease like that?

W: He?s managed to lead a fairly normal life. He has married twice and

has three children and a grandchild now. I think he needs to use a computer for

almost everything now, you know, eating, speaking, writing

M: Mmm. It?s very sad, isn?t it?

W: Well, in a way. He considers himself lucky. You see, despite his

disability, he is recognized as one of the greatest minds of our time.

so you can recharge your

batteries?

world?

places, but I think Hawaii is my favorite. The children love it there too.

live in. How do you give your children a semblance of a normal life?

W: But as a superstar, you live at a level that?s different from most people.

M: To a degre e. yes. But we?ve all got to figure out how to raise our kids to

be happy, responsible people.

W: One last question. What else do you want

to do in your life?

M: Oh, there?s so much I want to do. I feel a lot of personal responsibility

Successful Advertising

One of the keys to successful advertising is to catch the interest of readers.

In your busy life, there is little time to read every page in front of you, so you

have to be very selective. Being aware of this, advertisers go to great lengths

to arouse your curiosity in what they have to

say. You should know when

advertisers are trying to catch your interest so that you keep in mind that they

are attempting to influence you.

Advertisers always have an intended audience targeted for their

messages — men, women, or children of specific ages, from various ethnic

groups, and with certain interests. It is important that you know to whom an advertisement is designed to appeal so that you can decide whether or not you

should spend your time giving serious consideration to what it has to say. Obviously the whole point of a given advertisement is to get you to

purchase a product, take a certain action, or think

In a certain way. An effective advertisement is very specific about the

benefit to readers as a result of their buying, doing, or thinking whatever is

being urged by the

Advertisement. It is extremely important that you recognize the benefit

stressed by an advertisement so that you can make a sound decision as to

whether or not to follow its advice.

Exercise 2

1.…men, women, children of specific ages, from various ethnic groups, …certain interests

2.…what benefit customers will get…buying, doing, thinking

3.…seriously …it is designed to appeal

We Were Born to Help You Do It

Better

Joyce: Dad!

Father: Yes? …What?s the matter, Joyce?

Joyce: I?m wondering if I should buy a pair of tennis shoes. I?m going to

join the tennis club in school.

Father: Why not? It?s good that you finally play sports.

Joyce: But I?d like to have Adidas. Father: Adidas? It?s too expensive. They are for professional athletes.

Joyce: But all the guys in the school tennis team are wearing Adidas, boys

as well as girls.

Father: But none of us has ever had Adidas and we used to play quite OK.

Joyce: Here is an ad about Adidas. Can I read it to you?

Father: Go ahead.

Joyce: “Over fifty-five years ago, Adidas gave birth to a new idea in sports

shoes. And the people who wear our shoes have been running and winning

ever since. In fact,

Adidas has helped them set over 400 world

records in track and field

alone.”

Father: Nonsense the players have to go through a lot of hard training and

practice. It has nothing to do with the shoes. They may be comfortable, but

Joyce: You?re right, Dad. The ad goes on to say, “You?re born to run. And

we were born to HELP YOU DO IT BETTER.”

Father: 11mm. It may be good for running, but you don?t run.

Joyce: Listen, Dad. The ad says, “... Maybe that?s why more and more

football, soccer, basketball and tennis ...“see? “TENNIS players are turning to

Adidas. They know that, whatever their game, they can rely on Adidas

workmanship and quality in every product we make.”

Father: OK, OK, dear. I know Adidas is good. But how much is a pair of

your shoes?

Joyce: You don?t have to worry about that, Dad. I?ve saved some money

since last Christmas. I just want to hear your opinion.

Father: That?s good.
