What kind of techniques do advertisers use to persuade people to buy more?

Các nhà quảng cáo sử dụng những kỹ thuật nào để thuyết phục mọi người mua nhiều hơn?

[POINT]Point

Advertisers use emotional appeals, social proof, scarcity and celebrity endorsements to encourage purchases.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These techniques make products feel desirable, popular or urgent rather than simply useful.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A limited-time offer may push someone to buy quickly because they fear missing the deal.

[EXTEND]Extend

Advertising is most persuasive when it connects a product with identity, status or happiness, so consumers need to recognise these techniques before deciding.

Who should be responsible for the quality of products: producers, shops or customers?

Ai chịu trách nhiệm về chất lượng sản phẩm: nhà sản xuất, cửa hàng hay khách hàng?

[POINT]Point

Producers should carry the main responsibility for product quality because they control design and manufacturing.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Shops also have a retailer duty to store goods properly and remove unsafe products, while customers should follow instructions.

[EXAMPLE]Example

If a factory defect makes an appliance dangerous, the buck stops with the producer rather than the buyer.

[EXTEND]Extend

Clear quality control and shared responsibility across the supply chain provide the strongest consumer protection.

How could governments protect the rights of consumers?

Chính phủ có thể bảo vệ quyền lợi người tiêu dùng bằng cách nào?

They should crack down on fraud, dangerous products and misleading advertising.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Consumer law can require clear warranties, refund rights and accurate information about price or ingredients.

Protection works best when complaints are easy to report and penalties are large enough to discourage businesses from breaking the rules.

Hãy mô tả một khu phố điển hình ở đất nước bạn.

[EXAMPLE]Example

In urban areas, apartments may stand beside older houses and local businesses.

[EXTEND]Extend

The exact appearance changes from city to city, but convenience and close access to everyday needs are common features.

Have neighbourhoods changed over the years? In what ways?

Các khu dân cư đã thay đổi như thế nào trong những năm qua? Thay đổi theo những cách nào?

[POINT]Point

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Urban renewal has replaced some older houses with high-rise buildings, wider roads and new public facilities.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Many districts now have more cafés, supermarkets and traffic than they did twenty years ago.

[EXTEND]Extend
