Mass Media
A Serious Discussion
-Don’t you think advertisements sometimes cause people to buy things they don’t need? Those who write them are so clever! They persuade us to buy a new washing machine or a new fridge to keep up with the neighbors.
-You are quite right. Some advertisers do make use of social snobbery. But they mustn’t be blamed for that. I’ve known people who’ve bought a thing just because they’ve seen that their neighbors have one.
-You know I never buy widely advertised brands. They are more expensive. Goods could be much cheaper if the advertising costs were cut down.
-I’m not sure that’s always true. Advertising results in higher sales and the manufacturers may be able to use mass production. That usually means lower prices and cheaper goods.
-Won’t there be mass production anyway if the article is something that everybody needs?
-Cars are mass produced. Still the car manufacturers spend millions on advertising.
-That’s because there’s so much competition. If there were only one company producing cars, advertising would be unnecessary and the cost could be saved.
-That raises quite a different question-whether the competition serves any useful purpose. We’d better not start discussing that.

Lesson 7
1. Read and translate the text into Ukrainian:
Special Word-Processing Features
Most word-processing programs allow to create, edit, format, print, and save document. Some of them also allow you to perform more complex functions. The following are two examples of the sophisticated features that some programs have.
Spelling Checkers
Some word-processing programs come with a spelling checker. A spelling checker works with a word-processing program to find misspelled words in your document. It does this by matching each word in your document with a list of words that have been programmed into its memory. This list is usually called a dictionary, but the name is misleading. Spelling checkers have no way of knowing what a word means. Their ‘dictionaries’ are simply lists of properly spelled words.

When a spelling checker finds a word that does not match any of the words in its dictionary, it displays this word. Then you decide whether to change it or, if it is spelled correctly, add it to the spelling checker’s dictionary. This is often necessary, since the dictionary does not contain every word you will want to use. Unusual words, technical terms, and proper names will usually need to be added to the dictionary.
While a spelling checker can help you with your writing, it is not a substitute for good language skills. Because it only matches combinations of letters, a spelling checker cannot determine whether you are using words correctly. For example if you use too in a sentence that requires two, a spelling checker will not detect the error because too is spelled correctly.
If you are typing the sentence ‘I wish I were at the beach’ and you make a mistake and type ‘I fish I were at the beach’, the spelling checker will not detect the error, since fish is properly spelled.
