• Earth Day aims to increase environmental awareness and encourage people to take care of the Earth and its people. The first Earth Day was celebrated on 21 March, 1970. The reason why it fell on that day is that night and day are equal throughout the Earth on that day. Today Earth Day is celebrated annually by almost every country throughout the world.

1.Which advertisements make you want to buy a product or service? Why?

2.Which advertisements make you think about problems in society or about people who need help? Why?

3.Do you think advertisements tell the complete truth? Why or why not?

1. We can see there are three ads that

promote learning software, an airline service

and a shampoo here. They make me want to

buy a product or service. In my opinion, the

advertisement for the shampoo is the most

persuasive not only because of the image on

the shampoo bottle, but also because it says

that this shampoo will keep my hair shiny for

days. Although I don’t believe that this ad

tells the complete truth, I want to try it anyway.

2, In my eye, the other three ads for Project Hope, Earth Day and an anti-drugs campaign make me think about problems in society or about people who need help. People’s health, the environment and poor children’s lives are common social concerns. Nobody can ignore the problems around us. In addition, the persuasive words and the impressive images used in these ads strike me a lot. Of the three

ads, the ad about Earth Day strikes me the most. The ad shows us a bird’s nest built in the sky. The poster is trying to show that there is nowhere else to put the bird’s nest because all the trees have been cut down. It sends us a serious warning and tells us that we should protect the environment from now on.

3. No. As we all know, commercial advertisements, generally speaking, are intended to encourage people to buy a product or service so that companies can make more money. Thus they try their best to make people believe they are telling the truth, sometimes by tricking us. For example, ads which sell cosmetics often use famous pop stars who tell us how effective the product is and how it keeps him or her young and

good-looking. It is up to us, the consumers, to decide whether to believe commercial advertisements or not. However, public service advertisements are intended to educate people about health, problems in society and public welfare. Public service advertisements are usually free and they are usually true.
