5.语言使用Original Answer: In the recording, the article talks about image advertising, which means a company may advertise a product by using an image, even though it may not be closely linked with the company's brand. In the listening, the professor gives out one example to illustrate this. Many companies want to sell their cookies and biscuits to their customers, but the one that truly stands out is the Big Beer Bear cookies. This company put this image on its biscuit boxes and in its TV commercials. Since whenever it shows up on TV, the beers bears are always singing or dancing around, the customers always regard it funny and entertaining. Over time, this character stays in people's mind, and whenever they think of cookies, the beer bear would always pop out at the first thought. Therefore, by giving this example, the professor explains what is meant by image advertising.
(将“Big Beer cookies”改为“Big Bear Cookies”,将“beers”改为“bears”,将“beer”改为“bear”。这些错误是由于发音不准确导致的拼写错误。)
Revised Answer (140 words): In the recording, the article discusses image advertising, a strategy where a company advertises a product using an image that may not be directly related to its brand. The professor provides an example to illustrate this concept. Among numerous companies selling cookies and biscuits, Big Bear Cookies stands out due to its unique advertising approach. The company features a bear image on its packaging and in TV commercials. Whenever these commercials air, the bears are shown singing and dancing, which customers find amusing and engaging. As a result, the bear character becomes ingrained in people's minds, and it is the first thing they associate with cookies. By presenting this example, the professor effectively explains the concept of image advertising, demonstrating how an unrelated image can create a strong connection with a product in consumers' minds.
