Ερώτηση: What differences can you see in the two advertisements?
Απάντηση:
Σύνοψη: (ενδεικτική) The first ad (Butterfly Holidays) has a descriptive text and a colourful picture of nature and relaxation, while the second (New Concept LTD.) relies almost entirely on the picture of the product (a computer desk set), with hardly any text apart from the heading, the company name and the contact details.
Ερώτηση: What is each ad advertising?
Απάντηση:
Σύνοψη: (ενδεικτική) The first ad is advertising holidays on a Greek island (Butterfly Holidays, a travel agency); the second is advertising the new desk sets of New Concept LTD., that is, computer equipment for the office.
Ερώτηση: Which advertisement gives facts?
Απάντηση:
Σύνοψη: (ενδεικτική) The second advertisement (New Concept LTD.) gives facts: it states plainly what the product is (the new desk sets) and shows it. The first one appeals mainly to feelings, describing the beauty and peace of the island rather than giving facts.
