SECOND TERM EXAM

Advertising
is a message designed to promote a product, a service, or an idea. In
everyday life, people come into contact with many kinds of advertising.

The purpose of most advertising is to sell products or services.
Manufacturers advertise to try to persuade people to buy their
products. Large business firms also use advertising to create a
favourable "image" of t h e i r company. In many businesses, the volume
of sales depends largely on the amount of advertising done.
Advertising
is also used by individuals, political parties and candidates, social
organizations, special-interest groups, and the government. Many people
advertise in newspapers to sell used cars, homes, or other property.
Political parties and candidates use advertising to try to win votes.
Social organizations and special-interest groups often advertise to
promote a cause or to influence the way people think or act. For
example, The United States government uses advertising chiefly to
recruit volunteers for the armed forces.
Advertising is common in
almost all countries. In many countries, however, advertising is more
restricted than i t is in the United States. In most of the countries
of Western Europe, for example, the governments limit the amount of
advertising that appears on television. In addition, these governments
make greater use of advertising for social, political, and educational
purposes.
