[05:30.46]Reading

[05:31.94]2 Read the passage and  find out what the  words and expressions⁶  mean.

[05:39.06]Looking coolWhat do you look forwhen you go shoppingfor clothes?

[05:45.02]Do you choose somethingfashionable ... orcomfortable? Do you liketo look different?

[05:51.83]Or do you wear the sameclothes as your friends?Do you go for thisyear's colours?

[05:57.95]Is it the logo--thecompany symbol--thatcatches your attention?

[06:02.44]Or maybe film stars arewearing these clothes?What helps you choosethe clothes you like?

[06:09.16]Everyone spends moneyon clothes, and everyonehas their personal look.

[06:14.15]The best-known clothingcompanies sell their"designer" clothes allover the world.

[06:19.67]But the number of thesebig name companies is infact very small,

[06:24.00]and the clothes theymake are more expensivethan the clothes made byless well-knowncompanies.

[06:30.25]Many people even preferthem to cheaper clothes.Why?

[06:35.21]Many young peopletoday care about theway they look.

[06:39.06]They often buy"designer" clothesbecause they thinkthey look cool.

[06:43.72]Then the less well-knowncompanies make clotheswhich look the same.

[06:48.31]But they don't sell aswell because they don'thave the logo.

[06:53.30]People also thinkdesigner clothes arebetter made.

[06:57.06]For example, many peoplethink the right runningshoes will make you runfaster or play better.

[07:04.48]Of course, this is notalways true.

[07:07.74]It's the training--notthe trainers--thatimproves your speed oryour score.

[07:13.29]But that's not thepoint.

[07:14.99]People believe that it'strue ... and then buythe shoes. The bigcompanies only want tomake a lot of money.

[07:24.20]Above all, designerclothes are more popularbecause of cleveradvertising.

[07:30.45]All of the internationalcompanies spend millionsof dollars every year tomake us buy theirclothes.

[07:37.67]And they succeed!

[07:39.63]Most people dress in away that shows off theirpersonality.

[07:44.16]But if some of us buyexpensive clothes justto look cool,

[07:48.71]what does that say aboutus? Maybe it's justclever advertising⁸.

[07:54.14]So next weekend, thinkabout the clothes youput on.

[07:58.99]What's the logo on yourtrainers? Who made yourjeans?

[08:03.28]And how many of yourfriends wear the sameclothes as you do?

[08:08.37]And then think thatmaybe some of us couldspend our money better.

[08:14.46]Unit 3 Language in use

[08:18.05]3 Read the passage and  match the headings⁹  with the paragraphs¹⁰.

[08:25.30]Selling withoutadvertisements

[08:27.90]Advertisements areeverywhere! They're onthe radio and TV,

[08:33.38]in newspapers andmagazines, on busesand buildings.

[08:38.14]They're on websites¹² andmobile phones.

[08:41.43]Companies give theirproducts to film stars,

[08:44.36]pop stars and sportsstars to wear or use sothat fans¹³ will buy themin order to copy thestars.

[08:51.91]Advertisements havebecome so common thatthey aren't working anymore.

[08:57.20]We don't likeadvertisements, so wetry not to see them.

[09:01.62]We turn off the ads¹⁴ onour computers, we refuseto watch them on TV, orread them in magazines.

[09:09.84]We no longer notice theposters all around us.

[09:13.67]We don't copy the starsbecause we know theydon't really like thethings they advertise¹¹.

[09:19.72]This means¹⁵ thatadvertising companiesneed a new way to sell.

[09:24.71]They can't make theirproducts "cool" byadvertising.

[09:28.50]Advertisements aren'tcool,

[09:30.90]and teenagers won't buythe things in ads justbecause the ads say theyare fashionable⁷.

[09:37.08]The latest way toadvertise is not toadvertise.

[09:41.81]Instead of usingstars, companies areusing teenagers.

[09:47.00]They pay them to telltheir friends about newproducts.

[09:51.02]Teenagers don't want todress like everyone elseand buy the things thateveryone else has.

[09:57.97]They want to lookdifferent and createtheir own style.

[10:02.56]Teenagers don't thinkit's cool to copy thestars or buy thingsthey've seen in ads.

[10:08.82]Getting people to talkabout products is thebest way to advertise.

[10:14.30]When teenagers talkabout products, theirfriends becomeinterested and want tobuy them.

[10:20.96]When "cool" teenagerswear clothes, they makethem fashionable, sotheir friends want towear them, too.
