　　M:So, how much money have we got to spend?

　　W:Seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds. What do you suggest?

　　M:I suggest that we use mainly TV, cinema and print.

　　W:I see, magazines and newspapers. Can you give me your reasons?

　　M:Sure. First, our product looks good. So it would be a waste of money to use radio. Second, our product moves well, and it moves fast. So I want people to see it on the roads in our ads.

　　W:What about advertising boards?

　　M:No, I prefer magazines and newspapers, and we haven’t got the money to do all three. So people will see the ad on TV and in the cinema. Then they’ll be able to read all about it when they’re sitting down, reading their newspapers and magazines.

　　W:When do you want the advertising to start?

　　M:May 1st. That gives us three months to run to August 1 st when most people like to buy their new cars.

　　W:I see.

　　Text 10

　　The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was watch the TV news. I could see that the situation was bad, and they showed a map where the fires were burning. Outside in the garden. I couldn’t see the sun, as the sky was full of smoke. I decided I’d better prepare to leave. My son was staying in town and my husband was abroad so it was up to me to decide what to do. I packed a suitcase of clothes and another case of useful things. It’s difficult in this kind of situation to know what to take with you. So I took my passport and my bankbook and all the money I had. Out in the garden the sky was getting blacker, and the wind which had been blowing hard for two days was getting stronger. I could now hear the sound of the fire which was only a mile or two away. I got into my car and drove down the road. The smoke was thick and at times it was difficult to see the road. Animals were running across the road, trying to escape the fire. Five miles down the road I came to a long bridge over the river. Once on the other side, I knew I was safe.
