There will probably be a listening quiz on Thursday, which will include some vocabulary from the past few weeks.
We are going to evaluate metaphorical meanings in commercials this time, so download the handout HERE. The key is not to understand every word. No one ever pays that much attention to commercials. Rather try to grasp the overall message. Here one we will look at:
Read the signs. Consider the statement: "It's different in a Saturn." (Saturn is a car by the way.) What is the message of this commercial?
Here is another. The car cannot be dented no matter what hits it.
In English we say, "Everything but the kitchen sink," which means that you included almost everything you could think to include. Example: "My dad's new luxury car is great. It has everything but the kitchen sink." (I found the explanation of this idiom here)
