Understanding the text
Part A: Comprehending the text
Complete the following sentences.
1. According to the first three paragraphs:
A major purpose of advertising is to inform us of new products or good bargains
help producers to sell their products.
It is possible that advertising is becoming less effective because we are exposed to too
much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it.
2. According to the advertisement for Bantu Island:
The more adventurous members of the family can visit some of the attractions of the
island, including a trip to an ancient cavern study the fascinating sea creatures of' that
area.
The less adventurous members can use the hotel swimming poolpaddling pool or
play on the mini-golf course or visit tile less adventurous places of interest ( in an
airconditioned vehicle) such as a local lake.
Ghosts are often seen around Lake Tall.
Wood has been used to make the accommodation


The holiday is cheap because the resort is new and the owners claim to be more
interested in making the guests happy than making money.
3. According to the newspaper report on Bantu Island:
Bantu Island is really only a small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean.
Swimming around the island would be very dangerous because of the many sharks.
The swimming pool isn't very much in use because there is no water in it.
The author doesn't believe the stories about Lake Tall because it is too small and too
shallow for the stories to be true.
The author says the only reason your money Bantu Island is a
long way away go the money will be travelling further. The expression is not being
used in its usual meaninq of money lasting lounger as things are so cheap.
4. The advice the author gives in the last two paragraphs is to be very careful when
reading advertisements and always try to check the information from an independent
source before you buy whatever is being advertised.

Part C: Interpreting the text
1. Explain why the writer believes these two texts provide a exampleof
what he is trying to say.
The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases,
lyingThe advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously very
resort
a shallow bay island paradise
fascinating sea creatures
deluxe air- conditioned transport
individual, handcrafted units
ancient and mysterious lake
The Brochure The Newspaper Article
building site
beachless bay hare rock
hungry sharks
open-backed jeep
wooden huts
dirty pond


misleading—and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it
does not represent the truth.
2. Why were the visitors to Bantu Island made to pay for the
the resort?
Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not waist to
go on any tours.
3. Did the first article give any information that was not true, as opposed to simply
misleading?
No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies
—simply did not tell the whole truth or ,misled the reader in different ways. For
example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) -- it does
not actually say that they don't have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound,
it does not say they are sharks, etc.
4. Explain fully what the writer means by the last sentence of the article.
We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a
problem that is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor
vehicle, a new apartment,
