The power of advertising over kids

Advertising (0) has an influence on everyone in one way or another, but it especially has had
an influence on children. Catchy jingles, cute slogans, and cartoon characters are all key
factors that have (9) _____ children on certain products. Advertising influences the toys they
want, the clothes they wear, and the food they eat.

Advertising influences children's choice of toys. If a television (10) ________ displays

children laughing and playing, children think it must be a great toy, regardless of the type.
For example, my three-year-old desperately wants a skateboard for his Birthday. Every time
he sees a skateboard commercial, he (11) _________ excited. He believes that if he had a
skateboard, he would instantly have the same fun and skill as the boys on television. He also
wants a fingernail kit. He does not know what a fingernail kit is, but he likes the glitter and
stickers the commercial shows. The more (12) _______ the commercial is, the more he wants
the toy.

Another influence advertising has had is (13) _________ the clothes children want to wear.
Clothes from local shops and bazaars are no longer (14)_________ . Brand names such as
Uniqlo, Cotton On and H&M are much more appealing to them. My teenage daughter is

constantly looking through catalogues and magazines, examining each outfit down to the last
detail. She is continuously wanting to change her wardrobe to (15) _________ with the latest
fashion trends and most popular brand names.

Last, advertising influences the food children want to eat. Cartoon characters are placed on
boxes of foods such as cookies and cereal to influence young children. For instance, I was
grocery shopping with my young son the other day, and he asked me if I would buy him a
chocolate egg for a snack. I reached for the (16) ________ brand off the shelf and was about
to put it in the cart when he said, "I want the Minions' Kinder chocolate eggs." I had no idea
what he was talking about until he pointed to the shelf behind me. There I saw a 3- pack
container of chocolate eggs with pictures of Minion characters on the label. I tried to
convince him that the chocolate egg I had picked up, which happened to be a dollar cheaper,
would taste the same. After (17) __________ back and forth, I finally gave in and purchased
the more expensive Minion Kinder chocolate egg.

As long as companies continue to (18) __________ our youth with advertising jingles,
slogans, and cartoon characters, children and teenagers will continue to be influenced by the
product with the most advertising appeal.

Question 19 to 26
For questions 19 to 26, choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) and mark the correct letter on
your answer sheet.

We live on the island of Hale. It’s about four kilometres long and two kilometres wide
at its broadest point, and it’s joined to the mainland by a causeway called the Stand- a narrow
build across the mouth of the river which separates us from the rest of the country. Most of
the time, you wouldn’t know we’re on an island because the river mouth between us and the
mainland is just a vast stretch of tall grasses and brown mud. But when there’s a high tide and
the water rises a half a metre or so above the road and nothing can pass until the tide goes out
again a few hours later, then you know it's an island.

We were on our way from the mainland. My older brother, Dominic, had just finished
his first year at the university in a town 150km away. Dominic’s train was due in at five and
he’d asked for a lift back from the station. Now, Dad normally hates being disturbed when
he’s writing (which is about all the time), and he also hates having to go anywhere, but
despite the typical sighs and moans- why can’t he get the taxi? What’s wrong with the bus? -

I could tell by the sparkle in his eyes that he was really looking forward to seeing Dominic.

So, anyway, Dad and I had driven to the mainland and picked up Dominic from the
station. He had been talking non-stop from the moment he’d slung his rucksack in the boot

and got in the car. University this, University that, writers, books, parties, people, money,
gigs… And when I say talking, I don’t mean talking as in having a conversation, I mean
talking as in jabbering like a mad thing. I didn’t like it…the way he spoke and waved his
hand around as if he was some kind of intellectual or something. It was embarrassing. It made
me feel uncomfortable- that kind of discomfort that you feel when someone you like,
someone close to you, suddenly starts acting like a complete idiot. And I don’t like the way
he was ignoring me, either. For all the attention I was getting I might as well not have been
there. I felt a stranger in my own car.

As we approached the island on that Friday afternoon, the tide was low and the Stand
welcome us home, stretched out before us, clear and dry, beautifully hazy in the heat- a raised
strip of grey concrete bound by white railings and a low footpath on either side, with rough
cobbled banks leading down to the water. Beyond the railings, the water was glinting with
that wonderful silver light we sometimes get here in the late afternoon which lazes through
the early evening.

We were about halfway across when I saw a boy. My first thought was how odd it
was to see someone walking on the Stand. You don’t often see people walking around here.
Between Hale and Moulton (the nearest town about thirty kilometres away on the mainland),
there is nothing but small cottages, farmlands, heathland and a couple of hills. So islanders
don’t walk because of that. If they are going to Moulton they tend to take the bus. So the only
pedestrians you’re likely to see around here are walkers or bird-watchers. But even from a
distance, I could tell that the figure ahead didn’t fit into either of these categories. I wasn’t
sure how I knew, I just did.

As we drew closer, he became clearer. He was actually a young man rather than a
boy. Although he was on the small side, he wasn’t as slight as I’d first thought. He wasn’t
exactly muscular, but he wasn’t weedy-looking either. It’s hard to explain.

There was a sense of strength about him, graceful in his balance, the way he held
himself, the way he walked…

A. His son’s arrival in one event he will take time off for.

Question 33 to 40
Here are six people talking about eating out. Read the texts below and answer the questions
that follow

EATING OUT
A. FIRDAUS, 32 years old
My wife and I wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a good meal so we went to
an expensive Italian restaurant in Bangsar. We both had pasta to start and for the main course
my wife ordered a steak and I chose fish. For dessert, we both ate chocolate cake topped with
fresh cream. Delicious!

B. FADILLAH, 26 years old

I went to a restaurant yesterday evening with my sister's children. It wasn't very expensive
and the menu was very limited. We all had a burger and French fries and drank cola. It wasn't
very good.

C. FATIAH, 30 years old

My husband loves spicy food so this restaurant was perfect. The waiters were all really
friendly and polite, and they played traditional sitar music which was very relaxing. The
menu offered vegetarian dishes as well as meat dishes served with rice and a sauce - it
depended on how hot you wanted it! I chose a mild beef curry but my husband had a lamb

'vindaloo' - he also drank 2 litres of water!!

D. FARIS, 23 years old
My class at the university went there last weekend. It's a very popular type of restaurant in
the city. It generally offers one type of food (a kind of bread with cheese and tomato sauce)
which you then choose what ingredients to add on top of it. I asked for olives and mushrooms
of mine and my classmates each had something different so we could taste a piece of each
person's meal.

E. FATANAH, 22 years old

My friend invited me to have lunch with him in one of the luxurious restaurants. It is famous
for seafood dishes, which is my favourite food, so I accepted the invitation directly and

without any hesitation. So, we ate our food, it was very tasty, especially since we were eating
it while listening to soft music.

F. FURQAN, 31 years old

I have previously eaten Indian food which a lot of people have already eaten and liked it very
much. But my favourite restaurant this time is of Egyptian origin. It serves a meal called
falafel, which I found very impressive. I loved eating it so much I couldn’t believe its
ingredients when my friend told me. I found that there is a great skill in mixing the
ingredients until they have this wonderful taste. It has become one of my favourite meals that

I like to eat from time to time.
