Our English class started at twenty past eleven. First we talked about advertisements (in English, of course!). Most of us thought they are annoying, too long or uninteresting, but some of them are also funny and creative. They can also have a very catchy jingle (song), like the advertisements for Barni, Lekadol plus C, etc.
Then we looked at the advertisements in our books. My favourite was the one for Fruc, which said: »Pofrucaj me nežno«. In English it means: »Fruc me gently.« We did the exercise 3a on page 42 in our books; we had to match slogans of advertisements with the products.
After that our teacher showed us the advertisement for Slovenia, made a couple of years ago. I thought it was very beautiful, it really showed Slovenia's most beautiful places. But my classmates thought something was missing: corn!
Then we watched some really shocking commercials. I think if these advertisements would replace the ones for shoes, cars, clothes and shampoos, the world could be better. We would be shocked, of course, but we would think about their message and they could also make us give up our bad habits and think about their influence.
I think today's English class was very fun and interesting.
Homework: Make an advertisement for the next English test! Remember: the one who makes the best one, will get three bonus points at the test!

Oh,I remember this lesson!
ReplyDeleteThe advertisements Ms Oroz showed us were really scary. Not in a bad way! They make you think that the world is not just a giant place filled with cars, barbie dolls and fast food, but something more. People all around are dying, but we don't see anything, we don't care. Think about the place we live in!
I am glad it made you think, that was the point I wanted to make. And from thinking to making changes is just a step.
