Master the key language points4. Write about why people fall victim to advertising5. Learn about conjunctions and connective words6. Learn to write a personal adPassage A The VictimI. Pre-reading TasksA. Introductory Questions1. How often do you shop for clothes?2. Do you always follow fashion when buying clothes for yourself? Explain3. Do you think the clothes one wears define what kind of person he or she is? ExplainB. Introductory RemarksThe author once was a compulsive shopper, and might even be addicted to shopping. Shetended to buy more clothes than she needed, and often looked for famous brands, and evendiscounts. Later in her life, when she became a marketing student, this helped her understand howmuch her shopping was influenced by advertising. This influence began to be felt in middle schoolwhen she became concerned about her appearance. As an adult she was more aware of hermotives while shopping, but was still influenced by advertising, consciously or subconsciously.The conclusion drawn by the author is: nobody can escape the influence of advertising.Advertising uses our weaknesses and insecurities against us, and makes us want to be moreattractive, popular, or loveable. It makes us uncomfortable with who we are, and makes us want tobe like the models in the ads. Thus we may buy things that we think are "new, cool, or hot."II. While-reading ActivitiesA.

Shetended to buy more clothes than she needed, and often looked for famous brands, and evendiscounts. Later in her life, when she became a marketing student, this helped her understand howmuch her shopping was influenced by advertising. This influence began to be felt in middle schoolwhen she became concerned about her appearance. As an adult she was more aware of hermotives while shopping, but was still influenced by advertising, consciously or subconsciously.The conclusion drawn by the author is: nobody can escape the influence of advertising.Advertising uses our weaknesses and insecurities against us, and makes us want to be moreattractive, popular, or loveable. It makes us uncomfortable with who we are, and makes us want tobe like the models in the ads. Thus we may buy things that we think are "new, cool, or hot."II. While-reading ActivitiesA.

Closeyour eyes. Now lift your shoulders up and then let them fall. Breathe in, filling your lungswith air. Now let your breath out very slowly. Imagine you are on a beach. See the sand, the treesand the water. Feel the soft sand belowyou. Let your feet sink into the sand. Look at the gentle wavesin the water. The wavesare coming in ——and goingout. You’re breathing slowly and calmly, like the waves——Feel the warm sun on your skin. Oh, you feel good. You’re relaxed. You’re well and happy. Now, see yourself slowly leaving the beach. Your body is warm and relaxed. You come back to your dailylife with new energy and joy. And now, slowly, open your eyes.21。
