What makes an advertisement effective? You can easily answer this question if you walk around a city. A good ad is one that gets your attention and makes you focus on the important ______, too.

To learn how to create an effective ad, like a poster for example, start by ______ the two posters on the right. Answer this without stopping to think: Which one is more effective? Yes, it’s the one at the bottom. Let’s examine why.

First of all, it’s more colourful and it’s got attractive pictures. The white and black poster almost becomes invisible next to it. Colour draws attention. Moreover, it can ______ your feelings and make you react in a certain way. Images do the same. Do the cupcakes on the poster at the bottom make your mouth water? Do they make you quickly go through the text to find out where you can get them? That’s what they’re there for!

An ad isn’t just colour and pictures. You’ve got something to say, so the next thing you should do is to decide how much text you should write. Remember that people are impatient and will ______ read a long text to see what it’s about. The amount of text should be just right to get your message across, so focus on your message and say it with as few words as possible. Your choice of font (the style of letters), font size (how big or small the letters are) and font colour also play an important role. You want the text to be ______ to read, especially from a distance.

______, you have to decide how you’re going to organize both the pictures and the text in the space you’ve got. A good layout helps people ‘read’ the ad quickly and communicates your message more effectively. If your poster is too busy, your message will simply get lost!

I applied to the University of London, and they _______________ me. I started an economics course with them four weeks ago.”

Yet, though Zhong Tai is now a student at the University of London, he has never been to Britain. In fact, he has never left Sichuan.

We asked Zhong Tai whether he felt bad about missing some _______________ enjoyed by students studying on the campus, such as making new friends from different places.

“Not at all." he replied “I have made a lot of friends with people from my course online. _______________, during the evenings and weekends. I go out with my friends from high school. Since most of them also use e-learning, we all still live close to one another.”

People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In the United States, ________, many people remember what they were doing on April 4, 1968.

Technology provides more than a way of communication. However, it is becoming the only way to communicate for our teens. It has made face-to-face interaction _________ often and has made a negative①effect on the social abilities of the teens.

These days we communicate on websites like Facebook, but I wonder why we have no in-person friendships. I see teens texting②_________. They text while talking to someone else, at the dinner table, in the car and at the movies. This tiny piece of plastic is distracting③ teens from the real world.

In my life, I will have to move from my friends from time to time. With the help of Wechat, it can be easy to _________them and to ask if they would like to do something in person. Staying in touch can be done in person as much as over technology.

Some people have _________ making new friends and the Internet provides ways to meet new people through chat rooms. I believe relationships built online can be a little eccentric④. One study suggests that online relationships simply take longer to develop than those face-to-face.
