Read this opinion of a commercial on TV and answer the questions (Lee esta opinión acerca de un comercial de televisión y responde las preguntas). A controversial cigarette commercial was shown on TV last week. It was shown only twice, and it caused a revolution. In the first scene a group of tall and sporty men are getting ready for a competition -climbing a high mountain. They are wearing pedal trousers, trainers, and sweatshirts. One of the competitors is not with the group. He is very attractive, and he is smoking. Four beautiful girls are standing near him. They are wearing denim shorts and colorful tops. They are talking to him, and they are laughing. No doubt, he is the hero. In the second scene the competition is about to start. The men are warming up. They are jumping and running. The hero is not warming up. He is finishing his cigarette and he is saying goodbye to the girls. In the third scene the men are climbing the mountain with great effort. The hero is climbing fast, and he is winning. The girls are looking up. They are smiling with admiration. But, in the fourth scene, the hero suddenly feels tired in the middle pf the competition. He can´t continue, he stops climbing and he falls. The screens turn blank, and the following message is shown in big white letters. “This cigarette commercial tells the truth”. At the bottom of the screen, in small white letters, it says, “Smoking Prevention Association”. Some people liked it. Other people didn´t. But this is not an important factor to judge a commercial by. This commercial is useful for two reasons. The first is that its message was clear. The second is that it was very effective. Everybody is talking about it. Answer the questions a.  What are the people doing in the first scene? b. What are they wearing? c. Who is smoking? d. What are the girls doing? e. What are the people doing in the second scene? f. What happens with the hero in the fourth scene? g. Do you like the commercial? Why? h. What is its message?   ¿QUÉ APRENDÍ?
