Describe a commercial that you enjoy watching on TV.

What is its message? How does it convince people to buy
the product?

I want to describe the Cariba’s Commercial. This

commercial it’s very funny and really true. It present an
old man saying to a young man. “This is the most beautiful
banana that I harvest. The young man not responding
eating a Cariba’s Snack of banana. And old man finished to
saying “Insensible”.

I like very much this commercial, because present to

reality. To harvest this product it’s very hard, to dedicate
time, all day, every day and at the end for a few cents
somebody buy the products. This person ignorance what
kind of hard work was the old man.

This commercial it very convincing to buy the product

because it’s true. Nobody knows what happened where was
harvest and who was the man that harvested.

 Writing assignment

1.Describe the traditional family unit in your

country, and also any never types of family units
that have become more common in the past few
decades.

I want to describe the traditional family unit in

our country. The traditional family is hospitable,
couple. And it’s very religious. The two parents
and child is the most important in the society and
its part of our culture. In the past few decades
the new family units in our country are two parents
without wedding. They present the same
characteristic that a traditional family; and other
type is the single parents. The mother along with
her child. I think that is very special family,
because the child is without the father and I think
this child need the paternal figure to fill complete.
The father is the male figure that in most cases
are reflecting the security in home.
