Match each statement with the person who said it.1.c 2.b 3.d 4.aB. Check each statement True or False. 1. F 2.T 3.T 4.F 5.TVideo SciptInterviewer: Tell me your thoughts on advertising in todays world.Elli: OK. Well, I have often become enamored with ads that I thought were just brilliant creatively. But I never remember what the product is. So I doubt that theyre very effective in my case, as a consumer, even though I might love them and think theyre brilliant. So theres a huge impact, but I dont think it impacts my sense of humor.Blanche: You want my opinion, I think theres too much of it. And I dont pay too much attention to it, and I never look for the things that they advertise. And I usually turn myself off when thats on the TV.Herb: Yeah, well, I just find it its not as informative as it used to be. Its more hypnotic. And its constant repetition. And it sort of explains why you know, why how people act during elections also. They get used to that kind of message instead of, you know, whats real. So I really dont like them, and there are too many of them. They used to be just a few for each program. Now they just go on and on, and they repeat each other too. So, it cant be that theyre giving you information. Theyve already given it to you, you know. Its just repeat and repeattil you get the message.Stephan: I think theres different types of advertising that affect me in different ways. Theres the very direct sort of offensive type that I see in pop-ups, that I see on television and that I see as a very direct way of selling product, go out and buy this product. And I just get very turned off by that. And this sort of other advertising that, for example, doesnt even place a production in the ad, whether its a magazine ad or a TV ad. And its more about a way of living, a sort of a lifestyle sort of choice. And those ads work better because a lot of them come across as a form of art. They get sort of famous directors or stars to be in the ad. And I can see that as more of a work of art. And having studied media myself, I really believe that advertising can be a beautiful way of, you know, a creative way of media and art combined. So if I kind of turn off the business aspect of it, then I can really enjoy the creative, artistic aspect of it. So this, the two kinds of advertising, so one of them turns me off; the other I can enjoy and appreciate.Matt: the way I personally react to it is, if I see something on TV and its funny, Ill chuckle. Not necessarily buy the product, but Ill say its funny and remember it. But I think more of the advertising that touches me is the things that kind of hit you deep below inside and that kind of resonate with something in your history.Rita: I pay no attention to the commercials. Ive already made up my mind. And it could be a commercial about a product that I use. But I dont want to waste time listening to it.Listening Part 1 A.
