Truth and lies How do you know when others are telling lies?

Do you think advertising that targets children should be banned?

I would not say banning is a good idea. It’s obvious that companies producing sweets or gums, for instance, target children to boost sales. Because their main consumers buy such products for their children when they ask parents to buy. So, banning may cease such production and cut the flow of income for those businesses, who might also be working to nourish their kids.

   How do ads influence children?
   

Although I am in favour of such advertising, I have to admit that adverts for the most part have a huge negative impact on children. First of all, they make children stubborn. I myself witnessed how my nephews used to ululate to their parents begging to buy silly things, which doesn’t look so good in public and not pleasant for parents either.

4. 
   Do you agree that the fact that children are targeted by many companies as potential consumers spoils their childhood?
   

Oh, I can’t see any reason to agree. I think the word “spoils” is exaggerated to some extent here. Even though children may ask their parents to buy items they see on a TV screen, it will still be insufficient to ruin childhood of children. Sometimes, adverts come even more virtuous for children, especially when they promote team activities and engagement in society.

IMPORTANT THINGS

1. 
   What are some other things that people keep in their family for a long time?
   

Some types of souvenirs are commonly kept for quite a long time. Miniature guns, swords and other examples of these antiques tend to see many generations. In our home, for instance, we still have a whip of my great grandfather. Because our family is pretty much interested in collecting them.

2. 
   In your country, what sorts of things do people pass from generation to generation?
   

Normally, clothes. Our nation likes to economize spendings, so doesn’t hesitate to wear coats, sweatshirts or boots of grandfathers, parents or elder siblings at home. There are also people who pass down some luxuries like gold or valuable stones as heritage.

3. 
   Which do you think are better, old things or new things?
   

New things, for sure. New releases of items generally come out more updated, with new functions added or modernized. At least, unlike old things, new items don’t look inappropriate, which makes it more pleasant to make use of.

FOOD AND COOKING

1. 
   What kinds of foreign food are popular in your country?
   

Mostly Eastern food, like Chinese noodles and Japanese sushi. One cannot always find European meals like Italian pasta or French Ratatouille in restaurant menus, but can easily find the noodles called Wok. To the point, Chinese restaurants always tend to be more crowded in my country than any other restaurants or cafes

2. 
   Do you like to try new food?
   

To be honest, no. I like to stay cautious to things that I consume. I apprehend to take in something like pork or insects that contradict to rules my religion. Moreover, I have allergies to various ingredients, so I prefer to limit my curiosity about new tastes and prioritize my beliefs and health.
