Oh, back to the hustle and bustle of everyday activity! This is exciting! Looking back at the latest entries I've noticed they're from the month of April! Shame on me!
Anyway, I hope we all get down to work again with as much enthusiasm as last year! Look at all those exclamation marks!
This is a video that should be familiar to you: the 60-second invitation to visit Britain. It features a number of adjectives that you have to find.
Transcript, as usual: in the comments, in a couple of days or three, to give you time to do the activity and comment if possible.

ReplyDeleteYour mayor..?? invitation to Britain in visit britain dot com
Wow, thank you David and Abel!
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of them that were a bit difficult, but you got a looooot!! Great job!
I think I'll leave this here for a couple of days more before posting the answer, as I see this has more activity again!
By the way, Abel, I agree that alliteration is a very effective resource for advertising, pervading slogans ("Don't dream it - drive it"), but also TV ads like this one. The words here don't rhyme, though: we would need a repetition of the final sounds, not the initial ones. Rhyme would also be quite effective, can you remember any examples in ads?
Cheers! And thank you for commenting!
