    Ex.2
    1.In my opinion the most trustful fact about Diana’s death is her hand-written note than she had given her butler for safe keeping,because in this note we can find who could be interested in Diana’s death and some arguments why this person is interested.
    2.According to the video ,the person who could be interested in Diana’s death is Prince Charles,because he wanted to marry Tiggy.

    Ex.3
    Paparazzi may be also terrorists!
    It’s incredible,but now we know who is guilty in Diana’s death .A detective from scotland studing this tragic act understood that outbreak from paparazzi just blinded the driver of this car.The paparazzi were on motorbikes,so they were faster than Diana’s machine and when they came too close to the car and made a photo driver were blinded.Diana’s popularity killed her!!!

After all these years ,the driver removed the money from the check that Prince Charles gave him .He was caught and arrested on the spot .In the prison he told the truth about his collaboration with Prince. He organized everything so that no one has found any suspicion on them. The driver and the prince were arrested and sentenced for 20 years.

  10. Ex.1
    a. I would say that ideed spouses represent a advertiser and customer.
    b. I think that the girl wanted to devorce, because its interests don’t coincide with her husband, and that between them was not a true love.
    c. I think people want to get rid of advertising because sometimes advertising is not telling the truth .
    Ex.2
    At first I thought that this video is about a bandit,but the end was amazing.I think it’s fair as did the boy, as claimed by the close, even if you did something great, though the words “BE brave ‘warmed the soul of the closer and enjoyed it. Family is very important in the life of every person, it is next to us in difficult times, support us, loves us, cares for us and we wish you all the best in life.With family we spend most wonderful and joyful day moments.

    a. The spouses from the video represent advertiser and a consumer
    b. I think that girl wants to divorce because her husband doesn’t understand her and their tastes are different .
    c. Usually people try to get rid of advertisment because products are different from their description or they are not qualitative. Sometimes it’s faster to see with our eyes and make a decision than listening to the seller about three hours and than be disappointed in this purchase.
    2. This video is a good commercial for people who are sick .It motivate them to fight with their illness ,to be strong and go ahead though it’s hard . Sometimes we need a support from people that we love, they bring us a hope and a relief that we are not alone ,that someone cares about us . In the darkest day we can see a light if we are not alone ,and it may help better than a expensive medicine. Little things that are done with big love can extend our life even if it’s a small day it will be spent with less pain.

  12. 1.a.The Video transpose a scene of life, in order to focus on the relationships between costumer and advertiser.
    b.Firstly , she thinks that he hurt her enough.Secondly,hewas saying that he loved her but not behaved like he loved her.Similary, they didn’t get on well together.
    c.Advertisment is just like a short-term pleasure,which often has the ability to deceive us and spells our thinking.Thus we buy even some things that we do not want, nor do we need them.
    2.During the life we meet many problems, obstacles, which are a compulsory element of life.In so situations, regardless of how independent we are , everyone needs support and understanding.Supporting of loved people changes many things.Sometimes a piece of advice give us required dose of the strength and courage.And you know why ?Obviously, the words said by the closest people are the most precious.People that know us, understand us, accept us as we are, they always trying to help us.thus, they make more than medication .

    1. The spouses in this video represent an advertiser and a consumer .
    2. The girl wants to divorce because they don’t talk anymore , because her husband only saying that he love her ,but not behaving like he love her .
    3.People try to get rod of advertisment , because the advertisment, in most cases not tell the truth to person , it is only for attraction of consumers and to increase sales.Advertisers do not thick about consumers , they think about money .
    Ex.2
    In most cases when people have a serious illness , they convince themselves that they can not fight with their disease , they don’t hope for recovery and don’t try to strive to something good,to a healthy life . They forget about their lives , dreams , plans .
    In this moments they need persons that will support , encourage , goad them . The person who will be able to convince them that they have power , they can do it, that they can have a normal life .
    This persons need someone to tell the to be brave and that they are not alone .
    So, people that are ill will become more presumptuous in their capacity . They will learn how to enjoy every day and every moment that they live .
    Each of us need to be with dear persons that make us happy and guide us to see good things in hard moments.
    Life is beautiful , lets really live every moment of it .

  15. 1.a.The spouses from the video represent advertiser and consumer.
    b.The girl wants to divorce because she and her husband don’t talk anymore,
    they have different interest and tastes.
    c.People try to get rod of advertisement ,because this is done to attract buyers
    that bring profit to producers.Usually purchased product is different by that
    from advertisement .Also a good thing doesn’t require advertisement.
    2.Throughout life , people meet a lot of problems.But the harder it is to overcome
    a emboss sick.In these difficult times people need more attention,love and
    support to be able to fight with disease.These two things serves as the best
    medication .Sometimes the smallest things bring to human hundred positive
    emotions that gives power to move forward.The justice of these words is shown
    in this short video.Something so simple but at the same time so important.
    So this video teach us to be more careful with our relatives,to give them more
    time and attention.

  17. 1.a)The spouses from that video represent an advertiser and a consumer.
    b)The girl wants to devorce because she and her housband don’t talk anymore.
    c)People try to get rid of advertisments because sometimes it is really annoying ,also a bought product is always different by that from advertisment.
    2.I think this video is a great motivation for people who are sick.Sometimes someone dies just because not he or she is sick but it happens because that someone don’t have a motivation for living,unfortunately they feels forgot.In my opinion this is the best commercial ever,it must teach us to be better,more careful to that social category and not only.A drop of attention sometimes may be more important than a very expensive medicine.They are not alone and they must know this.
