Answers
Task 1
A) Advertising is the best way to communicate to the customers. Advertising helps informs the customers about the brands available in the market and the variety of products useful to them. Advertising is for everybody including kids, young and old. It is done using various media types, with different techniques and methods most suited.
B) If there were no advertising and you went to a shop, then you would just buy what you wanted based on maybe what others have told you, what the product looks like, or, depending on the product, what it says on the label. Advertising builds up a brand and people then trust a certain thing because they have seen it on television or elsewhere. Also, there is so much advertising around it must influence us. You can’t escape it as it is fed to us constantly in our daily lives – not only in magazines, radio and television, but on billboards, on TVs installed on trains and platforms, even in schools and universities. So yes, advertising influences what we buy.
Task 2
My country, has many, many street markets or open-air markets all over the place which are visited by hundreds of thousands of people every day in order to meet their daily needs. Today, I would like to talk about one of these open-air markets which I really enjoyed visiting about a few years ago.

The market, I am talking about, was located in a very old town and in the farthest north-western part of my country. Situated by one of the largest rivers of my country, it used to (and I am sure, it still is) be considered as a “business hub”, by thousands of people who live in that area and beyond.

Occupying an area of almost 3 square kilometres, I think that this certainly is one of the largest street markets of my country. In fact, this open-air market is so busy and popular among the people that a significant number of people (or rather “wholesalers”) actually come to this a day ahead of the scheduled “market day” with their products and merchandises so that they can find a suitable location to conduct their business activities.

However, even though, pretty much all kinds of items of our daily needs can be bought and sold in this busy street markets, this undoubtedly is aimed for mainly those farmers and businesses who want to buy and sell paddy and rice. In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to suggest that this market is the perfect meeting place for all the wealthy farmers who either want to buy or sell their main “cash crops” (i.e. rice and paddy).

Anyway, I enjoyed visiting the street market because I actually got to talk to so many different kinds of people from different backgrounds, and yet they were so friendly when doing business deals with each other. I also enjoyed visiting this place because I had never really enjoyed such a beautiful of the river where rows upon rows of boats were floating and carrying fresh produces, stacked one upon another in a beautiful manner.
