6 . Unlike a single advertisement, an ad campaign is a planned programme of advertisements using various kinds of ads to reach a certain audience. When you start a successful ad campaign, you must have a clear aim and an audience in mind. It is important to figure out exactly what you want to tell the audience and what you are trying to get them to do. In an ad campaign you may need to employ different kinds of media, including posters, newspapers, magazines, radio and television.

There are three major questions you must first consider:

    1    

The people you want to reach are your target audience. In order to determine your audience, you will need to do a little research and analysis in advance. You will need to explore what the audience already thinks. It is very important to know your audience so you can create the right message for the right people.

    2    

After you have decided who you audience is, it is time to decide what you want the audience to know or think about. It is important to always try to appeal to the audience in order to get them to react in a certain way. You can gather this information from your research.

    3    

There are lots of different ways to get your message across when you are putting together an ad campaign. You must decide what approach you want to use. This decision should depend mainly on your target audience and which kinds of ads reach that group best.

A. How do you reach your audience?
B. How do you build an ad campaign?
C. What do you want your ad campaign to say?
D. Who is the audience for your ad campaign?

10 . In the winter of 1953, a powerful jump from a Chinese woman attracted world attention. Twenty-year-old Chinese athlete Zheng Fengrong broke the women’s high jump world record with a leap of 1.77 meters in a Beijing athletic meet on November 17, 1957. The new record, the first women’s world record for the People’s Republic of China, was one centimeter higher than the old mark held by American Mildred McDaniel. The jump also made Zheng the first Asian athlete to break a world track and field record since 1936.

The record jump, although by a tiny margin, was described by the foreign media as “an explosive jump” because it created China’s first athletic world record. Called “a spring swallow awakening Chinese sports,” Zheng sent a message to the world that China was no longer the “sick man of the East”.

Born in the spring city of Jinan, Shandong Province, Zheng, who stands at 1.70 meters, has a good physique (体型)and a skillful scissor-sharp jump which was seldom seen among top jumpers in the world. She once leapt 1.78 meters, a national record in 1963.

She claimed a well-merited place in sporting history when her achievement was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. Due to her contribution to athletics, Zheng was awarded a series of honors. She was named among the nation’s greatest athletes in 1984.
