1. Which advertisements make you want to buy a product or service? Why? 1. As we can see clearly, the three ads separately promote learning software, an airline service and a shampoo. They are well-designed and attract me. I can’t help hoping to buy a product or a service, upon seeing them.

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. Which advertisements make you think about social problems? Why? 2. The other three ads separately 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 the most common social concerns. This kind of ads are of great significance and are necessary.

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. Do you believe that advertisements tell the complete truth? Why or why not? 3. No. Generally speaking, public service advertisements are intended to educate people about health, problems in society and public welfare in order to teach people and help them to live a better life. Public service advertisements are usually free and they are usually true.

Commercial advertisements, on the other hand, 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.
