Walk down any streets in the world and you will see young people holding smartphones to their
ears, sending text messages or logging on to Facebook. Companies around the world are reacting to the
daily habits of young people and sending their ads where their customers are online.
Levi Strauss, the American jeans maker, discovered a new way to reach its Asian customers through
advertising. He chose 20-year-old teenagers being from Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, and India to spread
the world about his clothes. One of those ad carriers is a girl called Bright, a writer and blogger from India.
She talks about the clothes on the internet and answer questions from her friends. According to Bright, they
want to know more about the products and trust her judgement more than a commercial on television. She
gets free clothes in exchange for writing one post a day.
Social media advertising has been adopted by other US-based firms too. Procter and Gamble
launched an online ad campaign. The company invites consumers to ask questions about a product. Answers
are then broadcast on YouTube.
Although internet advertising is catching on very fast, companies still must be careful with these
new methods.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Most people would guess that the selfie was around the beginning of this century or perhaps a bit
later when smartphones became mainstream. But most people would be wrong, just as Britney Spears and
Paris Hilton were wrong when they declared on Twitter in 2017 that they had invented the selfie eleven
years previously. In fact, they were around 167 years too late to make that claim. The oldest existing selfie
dates back to 1839 when photographer Robert Cornelius took a self-portrait photograph of himself. To
achieve this, he had to uncover the lens, run to his place and pose in the same position for up to fifteen
minutes and then run back to cover the lens again. Cornelius couldn't take a dozen shots and choose the
best one - his selfie had to be just one photo. Half a century later, in 1914, thirteen-year-old Grand Duchess
Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia took a picture of herself in a mirror and became the first teenager to take a
selfie.
The origin of the word ‘selfies’ is thought to come from Australia where people have a habit of
putting -ie on the end of words - barbie for barbecue, postie for postal worker and even Aussie for
Australian. In 2002, an Australian man took a photo of an injury to his lip and put it up on a public forum
to ask for advice on how to treat it. He referred to the photo as a selfie, and the term was born. Selfie became
Oxford Dictionaries' word of the year in 2013.
A 2017 study into 'selfitis', as the obsessive taking of selfies has been called, found a range of
motivations, from seeking to feel more part of a group to shaking off depressive thoughts and - of course -
capturing a memorable moment. Since we live so much of our lives online, there is pressure to present good
quality images, and so it is no surprise that airbrushing apps that enable people to retouch images and
present an idealised version of themselves are gaining popularity.
