Suplimentar, la 18 My favourite advert is the one about an Alpha

in a new Alpha Romeo at a petrol station

i textele ce apar fantastic it has a lot of functions it can turn
very easily and works perfectly on slippery, icy
pe CD-urile roads. Of course they are in the desert so
all these are useless. Its incredibly funny and
corespunztoare well-lmed. It makes you want to test the car
i care nu au fost I like all adverts of perfumes because they
show celebrities, beautiful people in their
incluse n cuprinsul beautiful surroundings or romantic situations
materialului de and you can almost smell the atmosphere
I know that they appeal to our desires to be
studiu tiprit. like them and we tend to think that by buying
a bottle of perfume we will be able to make
ourselves more attractive. Nevertheless, they
appeal to me through their absolutely beautiful
imagery everything: people, clothes, houses
and I usually like the smell of the perfume
that I see on TV.
I hate most adverts but there is one or two
that are worth seeing again and again probably
because they have a unique idea and they are
humorous they have fast action, good music
and something funny. I think the best example
is Kitkat a man gets into a taxi in India and
the taxi driver is singing terribly, so the man
puts a bar of Kitkat chocolate in his mouth and
the man likes it so he switches on the radio
with even more terrible music
I like those ads which advertise food or drink,
particularly chocolates and beer. They always
make me want to taste them immediately so I
think they must be successful they persuade
people to buy the product. Apart from this,
they are usually nice to watch chocolate ads
are soft, romantic and delicate and those that
advertise beer are meant especially for men
they show macho qualities strength, courage
and real friendship.
I like any advertising that is good I mean
if it has a catchy tune sometimes an old,
70s or 80s hit which sticks in my mind and I
sing it all the time and I can hear other people
singing it, too. I also like good slogans
some of them make a lasting impression and
I always remember them when Im doing my
shopping and they probably somehow make
me choose the right product thats the nature
of advertising.

20 Today is May 8 the one hundred and thirteenth
anniversary of the birth of Coca-Cola. Its
history dates back to the year 1886 when Mr
Pemberton, who was a pharmacist, carried a
jug of syrup to his pharmacy. Frank M. Robin-
son, who was Mr Pembertons friend, coined
the name Coca-Cola for it. Coca-Cola, which
was meant to be a refreshing soda drink, was
put on sale for ve cents a glass.
He took it to the local newspaper which
advertised the drink so the sales rose to nine
glasses a day If you are interested in the

29 Good morning to Business today. Well
be talking about the recent trends we are
observing on the job market namely people
starting their companies and at the same time
keeping their rst jobs just in case.
We have Marie who is an advertising agent
and runs her own business renting holiday
equipment and Dan who has set up his
jewellery company working as a tax consultant.
Marie, tell us something about your two jobs.
MARIE: I have been working in advertising
since I graduated from school. In the meantime
I had a baby, so it was sort of a turning point
and I started thinking about something more
exible which would let me both work and be
a mother. Then I read about a start-up scheme
called the New Entrepreneurship Scholarships
where advisers help you during the start-up
process. So I signed up and they helped me
through the rst stage of the process it was
tough because in the beginning I was a full-
time consultant, a full-time mother and spent
every evening on learning new skills.
HOST: So how do you manage to reconcile the
three things when for most people two of them
would be too much?
MARIE: I keep repeating to myself that it is
going to be an investment in my future, my
sons future and my retirement plan, because
with my own business and working much
longer hours now Im planning to retire early.
HOST: Dont you think that if youre taking on
too much, something will have to give in your
career, your business or your personal life?

HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES
Henry VIII one of the most famous English
kings was born on 28th June 1491, as the
second son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York.
He became king in 1509 after his brother Prince
Arthurs death. In his youth Henry was athletic:
extremely fond of hunting and tennis. He was
very intelligent, spoke good French, Latin and
Spanish. Henry liked writing both books and
music. He was a good player of many instruments
and a composer. He was also very religious.
Nowadays, Henry VIII is mainly known for his six marriages. He married
his first wife Catherine of Aragon for political reasons, just after
he became king. They had a daughter Mary I. By the end of the 1520s
Henrys wife was in her forties and they still didnt have a son. The king
was really desperate to have a male heir.
He fell in love with Anne Boleyn, the sister of one of his many mistresses,
so he decided to divorce Catherine and tried to persuade the Pope to allow
him to do that. However, the Pope said no. So Henry VIII took England
out of the Roman Catholic Church and made himself head of the Church of
England. This was the start of Protestantism in England.
In 1533, he married Anne Boleyn. Henry hoped finally to have a male
heir. His wife, gave birth to another daughter, Princess Elizabeth. Henry
decided to get rid of Anne. She was executed for adultery in 1536.
In 1537, the king married his third wife the kind-hearted Jane Seymour.
She finally gave birth to a son who later became Edward VI. Jane, however,
died 12 days after the childs birth in 1537.
He married his fourth wife, a German princess, Anne of Cleves for
political reasons and soon divorced her. This marriage ended because Anne
deliberately made herself unattractive so that she could be free to re-
marry her sweetheart.
In 1540, Henry VIII married the beautiful and ambitious Lady Catherine
Howard, but she also was executed for adultery. His last wife Catherine
Parr outlived him and died in 1548. None of the last two wives gave birth
to any children. King Henry VIII died on 28th January 1547. To some,
Henry VIII was a strong and ruthless ruler. But he left the country in a
weak and uncertain state.

SHAKESPEARE AND HIS FAMILY

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His family were rather rich
and he was quite lucky because he went to school.
In 1582, when he was 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, a woman from a nearby village.
They lived happily together for a few years and they had 3 children. Suddenly, in the late 1580s,
Shakespeare heard the call and left his family. He went to London with a group of travelling
actors. His wife felt very unhappy.
In London, he started writing the plays which made him famous. He became known both as a
playwright and an actor. He performed in plays even for Queen Elizabeth I. Shakespeare left
London about 1610 and returned to Stradford where, after six years, died of a fever on 23rd April.

1. Were Shakespeares parents poor?
