4. What effects can TV violence have on people and on society?
Too much violence on TV can't be too good for our society, because some people might not be
able to differentiate
（＝
understand the difference between) fiction and reality. I read a few stories
where young men in America went on shooting rampages
（＝
spree) because they said they had
been influenced by movies that portrayed too much violence. Action and horror movies really
trivialize (= play down) violence, and make it seem acceptable. I think that's the main problem, and
that is why young people, who are easily influenced, shouldn't have access to these R rated movies
（＝
classified as unsuitable for kids)
．
5. Is there a need for government regulation of TV programs?
Yes, definitely
！
The government already censors movies that air too much violence and sex. It's
necessary because children don't need to visualize pornographic (=sexual) or bloody scenes of
shooting. There's no way it could be beneficial for our society. Movies are rated according to their
suitability for different audiences. Last week in a film I was watching, a character was taking drugs,
and enjoying it. I don't think that's a good message for naive young spectators

An Advertisement that Influenced You to Buy Something
Tell me about an advertisement that influenced you to buy something.
You should say: what the advertisement was about
what kind of people buy this product or service
what persuaded you to buy this product or service
and say how you felt after buying it.
．
Commercials for dietary supplements are frequent.
．
The ad showed us how nice it is to spend time with old people (grandparents)
．
．
If they take this vitamin, they will live longer.
．
In addition: good for sleep, major organs, vitality, blood circulation.
．
I believed and bought a jar of tablets but I don't know if it is working or not.
A couple of years ago, advertisements for dietary supplements were very popular on TV Now
that people have more money and time, they pay more attention to remaining healthy and lots of
pharmaceutical
（＝
medicine) companies have really been cashing in on this trend.
I remember one special commercial that aired all the time
．
It really played with people's feelings.
The ad showed one young man who was thinking about all the good times he was having with his
parents. We could see him celebrating his parents’60`" birthday and g
oing to the park with them, in
spite of the fact that the parents were getting older and older.
The point was that if older people like our parents or grandparents take these types of vitamins,
they will remain fit and healthy, and therefore, we will have the chance to spend more time with
them.
The ad claimed that the supplement would have a positive effect on major organs
．
it also
emphasized the fact that elderly people taking the pills would sleep deeply at night. Taking the pills
would restore their inner system and improve their blood circulation, at least according to the
commercial.
I believed the ad and I bought a jar of tablets for my grandparents. Did it work? I don't know.
