　　On my arrival in America, the one thing I noticed more than anything else was the tremendous amount of advertising that went on,－on the radio, on television, on billboards and signposts, and in magazines．In the last three years, I have become used to this fact in American life, for I believe that it is a creative and necessary part of an industrial society．I, too, want to improve my life style and to buy better products, so I look to advertising to show me how to do it．

　　Deciding what to believe in advertising, however, isn’t easy．It seems to me that a person must buy things with a lot of care．As a consumer, I want to get the best for my money, but I really have to understand the techniques of advertising．Otherwise, manufactures(制造商)will be able to sell me anything, no matter what its quality may be．

　　More and more people are becoming conscious, like me, of the ways in which advertising can affect them．The creative aspects of commercials, for instance, often cover up defects or problems in products．I have learned this well, since I have made purchases and lost money because the items were of poor quality．

　　The future of advertising most likely will involve a much greater of public participation(參與)．I intend to become involved in consumer groups that want to protect people from misleading advertising．But I also want to see Americans, keep their high standards of living in the process．In the future, if consumers like me really care about the quality of something as well as the quantity, maybe advertisers will begin to care more about ________．

　　[1]It was one of the happiest times of my life．I was 29 and had just received my bachelor's degree, graduating with honors despite working two jobs and being a wife and mother．My parents and five-year-old son were in the audience when I walked onto the stage at Ashland University to get my diploma．I was so excited and proud to be starting a teaching career and contributing more to my family's well-being．

　　[2]But when I got home that evening, there was a note from my husband written on the back of an envelope．It basically said he'd come to get his clothes and wouldn't be back．We'd been having trouble, but the note still ________．He had emptied our bank account．We were horribly in debt．I had quit my previous jobs because of an interview for a teaching position．Plus, I was eight months pregnant．

　　[5]And in the seven years since, I've continued moving forward．I got a job as a kindergarten teacher, earned a master's degree in education, and watched my babies grow to 12 and seven．It helped me find my voice and myself and helped me grow independent, confident, and strong．
