Passage 1

Nowadays, more and more people are complaining about misleading advertisements. A recent American survey shows that 92 % of people condemned the misleading of commercial advertisements in the newspapers and TV programs.
   Why is that so? Well, since the main purpose of commercial advertising is to sell goods, the advertiser is not always looking out for the best interests of the consumer.
   Some advertising is deliberately tricky, for example, actors are dressed as doctors to promote health products. Consumers often buy on impulse, without planning ahead.
   But it costs money to advertise. Therefore,consumers pay for commercial advertisements every time they buy a product they see advertised. Consumers are always losers.

   The programme will launch new interactive materials for English language learners of all ages, including a Massive Open Online Course(MOOC)on the FutureLearn platform.
