【推荐3】Nike x Corteix | “Rules the World”
The crazy and surreal ad described a world where the launch was canceled: stock markets crash, people fight on the streets, and a newborn baby cries—calming down only when the shoe drops into their crib. The buzz-worthy film was an original take on fashion marketing while creating a joyful portrait of British street culture,
Taco Bell | “See You Next Tuesday” by The Or
“See you next Tuesday” typically has a vulgar(粗俗)implication. But Taco Bell U. K put a positive change on the phrase’s meaning by applying it across an eye-catching billboard and inviting the British public to enjoy its Taco Tuesday promotion, offering a taco and drink combo for £2. The campaign demonstrated the brand’s signature cheekiness while tapping into British humor to bring a smile to the nation.
Teleflora | “The Hardest Part” by The Wonderful Agency
Teleflora’s campaign for Mother’s Day started with a seconds-long piece of user generated content—a mom sending her kid off to school and, when he’s out of sight, breaking down in tears. It celebrates the bonds between mothers and their children, but turns the focus to the bittersweet feeling of losing the parental control. “It’s a human truth we thought advertising hadn’t touched on before,” said Danielle Mason, vice president of marketing at the brand.
Ikea | “Monsters Not Included” by Ogilvy
During the season, children might see spirit around every corner. Ikea reassured kids of all ages that there was nothing to be afraid of, with ads showing dark spaces beneath beds or other furniture where monsters might be hiding. However, the brand’s clever tag-line explained that monsters were not included and wished consumers a Happy Halloween.

【推荐1】Activities to Get You Outdoors While Traveling
Many of us would enjoy getting outside and escaping our day to day with some fresh air while traveling. But where do you start? Try out a few of these activities and you’re sure to find a new outdoor hobby to help you enjoy nature on your next holiday.
Horseback Riding
Many people may shy away from this, excusing lack of experience with horses, but most operators have horses for riders of any experience including none if they meet the physical requirements. Horses can take you greater distances in a shorter time, covering areas that would be difficult or inaccessible otherwise.
Fly-Fishing
For an excuse to stand in a river enjoying the sounds, smells and scenery of some of the most beautiful places, try fly-fishing. Fishing is a perfect activity to enjoy with children, grandparents or whoever. With enough practice, you may even catch a delicious big fish.
Cycling + Mountain Biking
On the path or the road, spending time on a bike allows you to slow down and leisurely take in the scenery around you. Mountain biking can give you the biggest excitement, while road cycling may offer a more peaceful and calming experience. Travel with your bike or rent one at your travelling places, and your possibilities for exploration have already increased.
Rock Climbing
For a more physical and challenging experience outdoors, try your hand at rock climbing. You can get a feel for climbing in a gym, but its real rewards lie in putting those skills to use outside. Many popular travel places have great climbing within a day trip distance.

【推荐2】Hi Sam! Sorry I haven’t emailed recently — I’ve been revising for my exams. I have finished them now and I have got some time to relax and some money to spend on going out. Last weekend, I went to see a great film called Yes Man. If you haven’t seen it, you must go! Jim Carrey plays the main character and it’s very funny-and also quite encouraging. It’s based on a book by Danny Wallace which is also called Yes Man. I read the book a few months ago and that’s hilarious, too — I really laughed out loud!
The book is a true story about what happens to the writer, Danny. Basically, he found that he was doing nothing all the time, just worrying about things and complaining about his life. He wasn’t seeing his friends much, so he was lonely and bored. Then one day, he was on a bus in London when he sat down next to a man. The man was a stranger, but they started talking. Danny told him about his boring life and the man just gave him three words: “Say ‘yes’ more. ” And for Danny this was a turning point in his life. Those three words influenced everything he did. At that moment, he made a decision: “I will say ‘yes’ to everything! ” And he wrote a book about what happened to him in the next year or so. Three years later, the book was made into a hit film.
The film is based on the book although there are some differences. First, it’s set in the US instead of England. Secondly, the main character is based on Danny, but he is called Carl in the film. And what’s more, he doesn’t meet a man on a bus. His turning point comes when he goes to a self-help class and they advise him to say “yes” more.
In the film, Carl succeeds in changing his life and doing lots of crazy things: he has flying lessons, he learns to speak Korean and he rides a motorbike with no clothes on! The storyline isn’t very strong. It’s quite weak, I suppose, but all Carl’s stories are very interesting — especially because Jim Carrey is a very funny actor.
I’m really interested in the film because there’s a serious message, too. I believe in making the most of life and I’ve decided I’m going to be more positive. I’ve decided I’m not going to stay at home so much. I’m going to do more things, see my friends more and everything. Actually, that’s why I’m emailing you! It would be great if we could meet up soon. Let me know when you are free.
All the best, Adam

At the very heart of the Serbian capital city, where the river Sava meets the Danube, towers a monumental fortress from which modern Belgrade originally emerged. Set up in the 1st century, the fort was built and rebuilt more than 40 times over the centuries. The fort’s bloody history only makes the fortress more fascinating.
Nikola Tesla Museum (Belgrade)
Nikola Tesla Museum was opened in Belgrade, the capital, in 1952. It is entirely dedicated to the life and inventions of the famous engineer, a genius of the 20th century — Nikola Tesla. The museum presents many models of devices invented by Tesla and films about the great scientist.

This traditional village was built by the enigmatic filmmaker Emir Kusturica in 2004, for his film Life is a Miracle. “I lost my city during the war.

Drvengrad is at its busiest during the annual Küstendorf International Film and Music Festival.
