CARD: **Paragraph 1.** When people like a restaurant, they usually recommend it to their friends. To some people, good service is the most important thing. Others go back to their favorite restaurant again and again because they really like one dish on the menu or because they can get a wide variety of food there. Everyone feels that his favorite place is the best and is sure that his friends will like it, too.

INTRO: A second paragraph to read — same job afterwards: a title and the main idea.

CARD: **Paragraph 2.** No one intends to hurt another person's feelings. Most of the time it's an accident. We don't usually mean to be rude. Frequently we're impolite because we're busy or careless, and we say or do the wrong thing without realizing it. We should think carefully before we speak or do something that might hurt someone's feelings. Then the other person won't get angry or upset, and we won't feel bad and have to apologize.

|

INTRO: One more paragraph — fittingly, about commercials. Read it, then title it.
|
||
|
||
CARD: **Paragraph 3.** Some TV commercials are better than the regular programs, and some are too boring to watch. Almost all are loud, and almost everybody will tell you they don't enjoy watching them. But some commercials are very entertaining, and frequently everyone will enjoy seeing them and talking about them. When this happens, the commercial sells a lot and the company that paid for it is very happy. That's the plan for all commercials, but only a few become popular.
