Unit 11 The Media Communication Workshop Listening Listen to the song Candle In The Wind and answer the questions in your book. Goodbye Norma Jean, Though I never knew you at all. You had the grace to hold ourselves While those around you crawled. They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain. They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name. And it seems to me you lived your life. Like a candle in the wind. Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in. And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid. Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did. Loneliness was tough, The toughest role you ever played. Hollywood created a superstar And the pain was the price you paid. Even when you died The press still hounded you. All the papers had to say Was that Marilyn was found in the nude. From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something more than sexual. More than just our Marilyn Monroe. Speaking: Exercise 1 Listen to Phil and Liz discussing advertisements. Which of them interrupts the other rudely? Hey, Liz. Have a look at this. Mm? It's a really sweet ad for Mother's Day. Don't you see this is an ad for selling flowers Really? Oh,see.Very smart.But I still like... I can't stand ads like that. Honestly, no child of that age is going to go and buy her mum flowers I'm sure the person who... Can I say something? All right. I think you're over-reacting although you have a point. Many ads try to create a picture of a perfect world or life but... Of course they do! They think that we're all stupid and are going to believe that if we by flowers from their shop then we'll have perfect relationships within our families! Can I interrupt a moment? Companies have to sell their products. They do try to make their products attractive but it's up to us whether we'll buy their products or not. If you... Rubbish! That's not true. Just think of all the people who are encouraged to smoke more by ads made by tobacco companies! Well, I have to disagree with you there. People can't blame ads for what they buy. It's their decision and... You're wrong!Some how I'm against all ads because they use false promises to get people to buy things. I'd just like to show you this advertisement,Liz. It's for environmental protection. Surely yo uagree that... No way! All ads are trying to get your money somehow! |
