[02:00.57]Do you agree with it?
[02:03.22]Advertising³: pros⁴ and cons⁵
[02:07.26]In the modern world,advertising is everywhere!
[02:10.85]Some people think that ads are great.
[02:13.52]Others hate ads,saying that they make our cities
[02:16.76]and countryside look ugly.
[02:19.40]Many ads are aimed specifically⁶ at teenagers,
[02:22.44]and some young people see more than 100
[02:24.99]advertisements a day.
[02:27.31]It's true that some ads can be very useful.
[02:30.55]For instance⁷, they can help you to compare
[02:33.15]two different products
[02:34.63]so that you can buy the one you really need.
[02:37.99]They can also help you save money.
[02:40.78]When prices are listed,
[02:42.25]you can go to the store with the lowest price.
[02:45.65]Ads also tell you when stores are having sales.
[02:49.01]However, some advertising can be confusing
[02:52.45]or misleading.Sometimes the words sound good
[02:56.50]but don't really tell you anything
[02:58.26]about the quality of the product.
[03:00.83]At other times, the picture in an ad
[03:03.18]looks a lot better than the real thing.
[03:06.24]So you have to be careful.
[03:08.51]At times an ad can lead you to buy something
[03:11.25]you don't need at all.
[03:13.67]3b Complete this article using the information
[03:18.15]about two or more products in 2a and 2b.
