Adverts and how they work on you, sentence 1
Picture a TV ad with kids laughing, music pumping and a toy zooming round, then "Only £29.99!": Freya shouts "I NEED that", but that is the ad talking, because nearly £30 is six weeks of £5 pocket money.
Who acts: you, kids, Freya, that · What happens: picture, laugh, pump, zoom, shout, need · To what, where: TV ad, that, ad talking, six weeks · Speech: someone speaks here
