Lesson 17
Step 1 Presentation
SB Page25 Part 1. Ask questions about advertising like these:
Where can you find advertisements? / Why do companies advertise?
Do you watch advertisements on TV? / Which are your favorite
advertisements?
Step 2 Reading
Read the dialogue silently and find out the answer to this question:
Whose ideas for the advertising program are the best? Bob’s ideas.
Ss try to guess the meaning of user , product , humorous , comments ,
typist , satisfaction. Teach the new words.
Step 3 Dialogue
Go through the dialogue briefly and make sure the Ss understand it.
1. Any ideas? = Have you got any ideas? Or Are there any ideas?
在對話中經常出現這種省略句. 如: OK = That’s OK. No problem
= There’s no problem. Easy = That’s easy.等
以any 或 any 的合成詞開頭的省略句, 常用于對話, 以征求意見或了解情況. 例如:
Any questions? / Any news? / Anything to say? / Anything else? = Do you want anything else? / Anybody else? = Is there anybody else?
2. I think it would be a good idea to have comments from secretaries and typists: A secretary is usually paid more than a typist. A secretary, in addition to doing typing, may be asked to arrange a manager’s appointments, to take notes during meetings and so on.
I think it would be a good idea to do sth. 是委婉地提出建議的交際用語. Eg. ①A: I’m afraid I’m putting on weight.
B: I think it would be a good idea to keep on doing mor-
ning exercises.
②A: I haven’t got any information on this matter.
B: I think it would be a good idea to ask your secretary.
3. express their satisfaction with the product = to say that they are happy
with the quality of the product they are using.
express one’s satisfaction with… “對…表示滿意”
①The organizers expressed their satisfaction with the preparation
for the conference.
②His wife has never expressed her satisfaction with the living con-
ditions.
4. Do you think so? A polite way of disagreeing with someone.
Eg. A: How do you think of Bob?
B: Perhaps he’s nice, but he’s very quiet. He seldom says anything
A: Do you think so? Do you think he doesn’t like talking? There
he comes, talking with friends. Look, how cheerful he is.
5. So what exactly are you suggesting?
So 是連詞, 有”因此” “那么”的意思
…are you suggesting 句中用現在進行時表示將來, 原句相當于
So what exactly are you going to suggest?
eg. ①Who is designing the advertisement?
②When are you having a holiday?
③How long are you staying in London?
6. We can bring in some humor too.我們還可以插進點幽默的話語.
bring in “帶進”, “引來”
eg. ①Bring the washing in. It’s raining.
②The foreigners brought in new things and new ideas.
③The Normans brought in many laws and social customs.
7. ad: short for advertisement.
8. A list of recent customers = a list of people who have recently bought the product.
9. What kind of advertisements do you read or watch on TV, if any?
…if any = …if you read any.在復合句中,如果從句的某成分同主句
的成分相同的話,常常可以省略,以避免重復.
Eg. ①We’ll certainly help you if we can.(help you.)
②They’ll get everything ready tomorrow if not earlier? =
…if they can’t get it ready earlier?
Step 4 Practice

Agreement: Of course./ That’s true./ Right./ I agree./ I think so.
Disagreement: Do you really think so? / I don’t agree with you.

Step 2 Preparation for reading
SB Page28, Part1. Ss read the passage quickly and answer
this question:
What is one danger with selling your product abroad?
(You must make sure that the translation is correct.)
Step 3 Reading
Ss read the passage quickly. Answer the following ques-
tions.
① Why do people read advertisements?
② What mistake was made in the translation of the ad for hair cream?
③ What mistake was made in the car ad?
Language Points:
1. What makes a good advertisement? = What makes an ad a good one. Make “有條件成為”
①David will make a very good football player.
②Cold tea makes a good drink in summer.
③What makes a good translation? It must be true to the
the original, and clear and easy to understand.
2.Th translation = the translation of the ad.

meant “X puts living things into dry hair.”
when translated = when it was translated 相當于一個時間狀語從 句.當從句的主語與主句的主語一致, 而從句的謂語是be時,則主語和be均可省略,而成為when + done
eg. ①Your exercises must be handed in immediately when finished.
②The shop assistant when spoken to didn’t make an answer.
