[00:07.47]POINTS OF VIEW
[00:10.21]One day, Mr Yang had a friendly argument with Debbie.
[00:17.06]'Kids today watch too much TV and spend too much money,' he said.
[00:24.42]Debbie disagreed,so Mr Yang showed her these newspaper items.
[00:32.76]1 Little Spenders are Big Spenders
[00:39.11]The latest target for TV advertisers is Asia's fastest growing consumer group children
[00:46.55]Asian families are getting smaller and wealthier,
[00:51.23]and Asian children are watching more and more TV.
[00:56.08]One estimate1 says the average Hong Kong child sees about 25,000 TV commercials a year
[01:04.84]To get the attention (and the money)
[01:09.07]of these young viewers the advertisers use little actors.
[01:14.81]'The kids can identify with someone from their own age-group,'
[01:19.99] says one advertiser,
[01:23.44] 'so the adverts2 are more effective.
[01:27.09]And,of course,the little actors earn big money.
[01:31.56]'Not everyone is happy to see kids turned into consumers.
[01:36.81]Some educators believe that if youngsters3 watch the ads,
[01:42.09]they will become more and more materialistic
[01:46.34]One Japanese survey asked children what they wanted most in life.
[01:52.30]Twenty per cent said money or possessions.
[01:56.56]So governments are taking action to protect children.
[02:01.10]Television authorities4 for example,
[02:05.18]would usually ban an ad if it made children feel inferior
[02:11.06]because they did not own the advertised product.
[02:15.42]2 Bad for Children
[02:19.78]With reference5 to your 'Little Spenders' article,
[02:24.46]children should not be used in TV commercials.
[02:29.11]It is illegal for them to work in factories,
[02:33.97]so why are they allowed to work in commercials?
[02:38.54]Also,regarding the high salaries,
[02:42.90] it is bad for children to have too much money.
[02:47.05]3 Silly Toys
[02:51.42]Advertising to children is wrong
[02:56.17]because its aim is to make them ask their parents for money to buy things.
[03:02.94]Also,many things advertised such as toys,are silly and encourage violence.
[03:10.51]If a child buys them,he or she will learn nothing.
[03:15.97]4 Nothig Wrong with Commercials
[03:21.22]I disagree with Mr Hu and Ms Liang.
[03:25.48]Ifcommercials for kids had been harmful,
[03:29.63]the gouvrnment would have banned them long ago.
[03:33.60]Furthermore, what is wrong with children earning a lot of money
[03:38.75]or asking their parents to buy things for them?
[03:42.59]My final point is that children buy toys to have fun with,not to learn from.
[03:49.54]That is what kids want,
[03:52.78]and that is why the 'Smart Tortoises'are one of the world's best selling toys,ever

[11:16.47]The bankers wanted to help the children
[11:20.12]to be able to makesmart decisions about their money.
[11:24.70]They said that 'education and money management skills are keys to a better life
