What makes an advertisement effective? You can easily answer this question if you walk around a city. A good ad is one that gets your attention and makes you focus on the important ______, too.

To learn how to create an effective ad, like a poster for example, start by ______ the two posters on the right. Answer this without stopping to think: Which one is more effective? Yes, it’s the one at the bottom. Let’s examine why.

First of all, it’s more colourful and it’s got attractive pictures. The white and black poster almost becomes invisible next to it. Colour draws attention. Moreover, it can ______ your feelings and make you react in a certain way. Images do the same. Do the cupcakes on the poster at the bottom make your mouth water? Do they make you quickly go through the text to find out where you can get them? That’s what they’re there for!

An ad isn’t just colour and pictures. You’ve got something to say, so the next thing you should do is to decide how much text you should write. Remember that people are impatient and will ______ read a long text to see what it’s about. The amount of text should be just right to get your message across, so focus on your message and say it with as few words as possible. Your choice of font (the style of letters), font size (how big or small the letters are) and font colour also play an important role. You want the text to be ______ to read, especially from a distance.

______, you have to decide how you’re going to organize both the pictures and the text in the space you’ve got. A good layout helps people ‘read’ the ad quickly and communicates your message more effectively. If your poster is too busy, your message will simply get lost!

The brain is the most fascinating part of our body. Even though there has been all medical research, n______ really understands everything about it. Like the rest of our body, our brain needs to be cared for. The ways that we keep our mind healthy can be quite s______. Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a balanced diet and taking deep breaths are all important methods of looking after both your body and your brain.

Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse as a result. The t______ is, just like your body, you can also improve your mind. I’ve found I can improve my memory by i_____ what I need to remember. For example, if I’m going shopping and I need bread, milk and a birthday card for my brother, I form pictures of a loaf of bread, a carton of milk with a cow on the front and a birthday card with a football on it.

The same kind of method can be used with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a particular event, it’s much e______ to remember than just a number on a calendar.

Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you r______ visit new places and have new experiences. Traveling more often has much more long-term benefits than you would have ever expected. Personally I find learning English is a great way to keep the brain working, but communication with others in any language is important. Having a c______ is much better for your brain than staring at a computer screen or at other people talking on TV.
