7) Tricks of the trade Advertising companies employ many ways to persuade you to buy their products. Here are some of their most effective methods. Families are a great target for advertising campaigns, but when they're portrayed on TV, they're often unrealistic stereotypes. They live in lovely, clean homes 1) …. The parents are successful and relaxed with their wonderfully behaved children. All their children are clever, funny, and dressed in fashionable clothes. Moreover, brothers and sisters all seem to get on well with each other!

8) Why do advertising companies paint such an unrealistic picture? It's because these ideal families represent the types of people 2) …. They want us to think that if we buy these products, we can be just like them.

9) Often the advertised products are 3) … such as a comfortable family car, or a fantastic holiday. Or they are advertising products by showing caring parents giving their happy children a new, healthy kind of yoghurt or some tasty new cheese.

10) Sometimes, when advertising family food, companies intentionally leave out important information in their advertising. For example, they claim that their chocolate cereal can be part of a healthy diet, but fail to mention 4) … that anyone should consume. This can give the viewer the wrong idea, but it doesn't say anything that's untrue.

11) Another big target for advertising companies is teenagers. Often, young men and women are portrayed as unhappy people with few friends until the moment 5) …, buy a body spray or wear the latest jeans or trainers. Then they become really cool people that everyone wants to hang out with.

12) Using celebrities is another great method for adverts directed at all ages. If your favourite sports star, film star or singer is telling you that a product is the best, it must be true - mustn't it? Most people forget that these people are being paid a fortune 6) …. One last point: have you ever noticed how much louder the adverts are than the programme you were watching? It's just another way to attract your attention.
