Debate
By Zoish
Grade 5



Good morning teachers and fellow classmates. I am going to speak for the motion Advertising should exist.

The main reason why we have advertisements is that through advertisements businesses can let customers know about the existence of their products and make customers interested in their products. Advertisements also helps the customers make better decisions while buying and use their money to get better products.
You would have continued buying the old product and you would never even try the new one, which may be better and cheaper than the old product you used to buy.

A lot of times the advertisement is very catchy and when you go to the store you would remember the ad and buy the product. But if it weren’t advertised then you wouldn’t know about that product or remember its name and wouldn’t buy the product.


Advertisements also help in finding jobs and for employers to find employees. If there were no advertisements you probably wouldn’t know about a certain job. But if you knew there was a job you were interested in you would most likely apply for the job and go for a job interview.


Advertisements are also useful in getting help. For example, if you lost your dog or any other item and put up an advertisement for it someone who has found it can return the dog or lost item to you but if you never advertised you might lose it forever.

People advertise for movies, schools, camps, concerts etc. For example, how many people would have gone for the Black-eyed peas concert had it not been advertised? If the release of new movies was not advertised you would never know it was in theaters or in which theatres it was running and you wouldn’t see it. If there was a really good school/college and they never advertised nobody would even know about it or find out more about it

Research shows that advertisements do influence people to try new products, which lead to more sales for the companies.

This is why we need advertisements!


Thank you

Debate

Topic- Advertising should exist-FOR

I feel advertising should exist because people get to know what is getting sold or if any product has improved or if anything is new which is getting sold in the market. By watching ads we change our minds sometimes. For making advertisements we need people so people get jobs. Because of advertisements we have sponserers for our television shows and because we have TV shows we get entertainment. So we really need ads and advertisement jobs are very important and our very useful.

InterHouse Quiz

The InterHouse Quiz was hosted for 4th and 5th grade on 15 October. I was in the quiz for Orion. I was very nervous. At the last question was for Orion, since Mrs. Poonam put a microphone in front of the radio it sounded like a banjo because Mrs. Poonam put the microphone in front of the radio, and the answer was actually guitar so for 5th grade Phoenix got 1st, Orion got 2nd, Hercules got 3rd, and Pegasus got 4th. For 4th grade Orion got 1st, Phoenix got 2nd, Pegasus got 3rd, and Hercules got 4th.

New UOI Topic

Our old UOI topic was Thanks to the Past, now we have entered a new topic called Powers of Persuasion. We have already learned a lot during the past days, we learned about persuasion, advertisements, media, mass media, and logo's. We also have done a survey asking questions about ads, if you are interested in them, what media's do you think are best for ads etc. We brought 3 ads we disliked and we brought 3 ads we liked to class. Then we brought 5 logo's to class.

Our trip to Nandi Hills

Our trip to Nandi Hills was great. It was on the 5-10-2007 which was a friday. We all danced in the bus. When we reached Nandi Hills I was exited to see what is going to happen next. We had to climb the hill a little. After reaching the peak we went to 3 temples which were 2000 years old but they actually didn't look like 2000 years old. Then we went to the Tippu Drop which was the place where Tippu Sultan punished the people who were bad like the thieves, criminals etc. We then went to the place where there was the bull of Lord Shiva. Next to that there was a cave which was called the Bhramasham. When I went inside the cave I got to know that the people who were called Sanyasis used to come there and meditate for about 40 days. After that place we went to resturant and had coke. We left from there and climbed down the hill. Then we went to another temple which was 1 hour from the hills. That was a really big temple! We saw a water snake inside the holy bath. After that we got on the bus and went back home. I did want to get back home because this trip was so great!

The student council day

The student council day was on 29-9-2007 which was a saturday. First when I heard that I was the sports captain I felt really happy. I first want to thank Ms Poonam for selecting me as the sports captain. On the day I was really excited but as we went with the program I stared feeling giddy.
