So when reading a passage, esp. a describing or science one, we'd better pay more attention to the first paragraph or the first sentence. In this passage ADVERTISING, topic sentence can be found in most paragraphs.
2) Use conjunctions and phrases when necessary.
When writing a passage, we can make full use of various conjunctions and prepositional phrases so that the sentence sounds more reasonable in logic, coherence and so on. In this passage, we can find such phrases as on the other hand, for that reason, thus used to list different facts and truths. We should learn to put them into practice.

Advertising is a highly developed industry. It has gone hand in hand with radio, television and other media.
However, people react to ads in different ways. Defenders think ads are useful and helpful and help consumers make informed choices. But critics accuse companies of using ads to mislead us. Advertising influences customers' choices by introducing a brand name and associating products with customers' needs. There are so many ads for customers, so advertisers try to get their message across by appealing to their emotions.
Ads help companies and customers in a variety of ways. They can help companies increase sales and reduce the prices. Meanwhile, they help customers choose among all the available products. In fact, truthful ads provide good information, and help customers compare features, functions and costs. Some governments name their spokesman or spokeswoman to make people aware of their social problems and policies.
Customers should protect themselves by keeping an eye out for bad ads, distinguishing between fiction and facts and making good choices.

Step IV Practising (Workbook on P178)
1. Vocabulary
This part is designed to get the students to learn to guess the meaning of a specific word in a context. The teacher should try to encourage them to think and express freely.
T: In English sometimes a word has more than one meaning in a sentence. For example, (on the screen or on the blackboard)
This ad campaign used Yao Ming to show the right attitude towards people with AIDS.
T: We look it up in Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary and find the two meanings:
1) a planned group of especially political, business or military activities which are intended to achieve a particular aim (政治性或商業(yè)性)活動，競選運動
2) a group of connected actions or movements that forms part of a war 戰(zhàn)役
T: So in this sentence, when we use the first meaning, it is just a planned activity, but when we mean the second, it compares the activity to a large and important part of the whole "business war". Are you clear?
S: Yes.
T: Then what about No 2?
…

T: Now let's study the example carefully and know how to do it correctly.
A: Who do you think is to blame if you find the product recommended by a movie star in an ad unsatisfactory?
B: I think the movie star is to blame for misleading customers in the ad.
T: Then what have you got from this example?
Sa: First we'd better make sure what kind of sentence pattern we'll use, then decide which part should be repeated in the first sentence.
T: Very good. Then who can complete the first dialogue?
Sb: Let me try. What do you think of the role of advertising nowadays?
T: Quite right. Thanks. Next?
…
4. Translation
This part is to provide the students with more chances to consolidate the language points learned in this unit. So get them to study the English sentences and try to know how to use the italicized phrases correctly. Then try translating each sentence one by one. Finally check the answers with the class.
T: Who can translate the first sentence into Chinese?
Sc: Let me have a try.
買車的時候你應(yīng)考慮哪些重要因素？
T: Well done. From this sentence we can find this useful phrase "take ... into consideration". OK, let's use this useful phrase to translate the following two sentences.
Who would like to have a try?
Sd: When entering a college, what should you take into consideration?
Se: When buying a car, safety is the first thing that you should take into consideration.
T: Wonderful, thank you. Now next?
...
5. Identify the Object Complement (Exercise 1 of Grammar)
This part is to get the students to identify the Object Complement in a specific sentence.
T: Whether it's a "verb+ object+ object complement" structure or not, the verb is very important. For example:
1) I bought her a new MP3 player as a birthday present.
2) She considered the new MP3 player I bought very precious.
T：In the first sentence。“her”is indirect object while“a new MP3 player”is direct object．In the second sentence，"very precious" is the object complement．Now study the sentences carefully and tell me which sentences contain the object complement．
S?…
6．“Verb+sb．to do sth．’’structure Practice
T：Look at Exercise 2 on P181．Make sentences using the verbs in Column A and the phrases in Column B．
S：…
7．Fill in the blanks
Let students do Exercise 3 on P181 individually and then check the answers with the whole class．
8．Describe an ad using the Object Complement
Ask the students to discuss the picture on P181 carefully and then describe the ad using the given sentence patterns．
Show the following patterns on the screen/blackboard．
I find the ad…
I see somebody…
I consider it…
I believe the cellphone can make…
1 would have it…r
After a few minutes．
T：Now what do you think the ad is about?
Sa：In my opinion, it’s promoting a latest type of cell phone which has new functions．
T：Very good．Then who can describe the picture using the given sentence patterns?
Sb：I find the ad interesting and persuasive．From the ad, we know the cell phone can be used to phone，send fax, listen to MP3，take photos and so on．
Sc：l see somebody taking photos with the cell phone．If the picture is clear enough and easy to develop，the cell-phone must be very popular．
Sd：Jf consider it a new trend of cellphone in the future．It is more than a phone．It has many more new functions．

Se: I think the advantages of using a story as an advertisement are that it may be humorous and attract readers' attention. And the disadvantage is that readers or viewers can't remember the name of the product.
