Every day, it is easy to see advertisements all around us. Look around. How many different advertisements can you see? Often products show the names of the companies that made them.

Many people buy a product because it is made by a certain company. In fact, some people only buy the products of the famous companies. They think it proves that they are fashionable and have a good taste. It is common to find or hear advertisements on TV or on the radio. Most advertisements are very short for people to remember. Nike, for example, has a simple slogan used all around the world:"Just do it." Advertisements often use funny situations as well. It is easy to remember an interesting ad. All advertisements are designed to make people buy the products. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of fashionable young people who are having fun. The young people are all drinking the soft drink. Advertisers are saying to you, "Why don't you buy it like these people? You can be young, modern and fashionable,too."
