Seasons of Love
Seasons of Love
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure-measure in a year?
In daylight-in sunsets In midnight-in cups of coffee
In inches-in miles In laughter-in strife
In five hundred twenty-five thoudand six hundred minutes
How do you measure A year of life?
How about love?
Measure in love
Season of love.....
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the live of a woman or a man?
In truth that she learned or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned or the way that she died
It's time now to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let's celebrate Remember a year in the life of friend
Remember the love measure in love
Seasons of love....
In diapers-report cards
In sports wheel-in speeding tickets
In contracts-dollars
In funerals-in births
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you figure a last year on earth?
Remember the love.....
Seasons of love....

How do you measure your time? Moreover, how do you measure your life?Everyone may have different answer. But this song, which is from the movie "Rent", it regards that the answer is "Love". To make it more clear, love stands for fragments of beautiful memory, and that is the only thing you can remember after several decades. Therefore, measuring a year by seasons of love is the bestway! I was deeply moved by its lyrics and melody since I heard it the first time. It is a great song, and now I share it with you.

3. way of presenting (different)
Main point B: the right picture

2. point at the speed and efficiency (different)
3. way of presenting (different)
Concluding sentence: Every advertisement have the same purpose--- to make impression on consumers, but they will be presented by unlimited ways, that is why the advertisements are always attractive.
The two ads have same ways and different ways to achieve the advertising effect. We can look at them one by one.
From the first picture, we can see a box of poker was sent to the destination barely moved. It seems very unreasonable in the real life, but it does make a deep impression on our mind and successfully achieve the effect to advertise. On the other hand, this advertisement use a kind of positive and direct way to brag about its stability.
From the other picture, we can see a fire engine go out from a Fedex truck to put out the fire. Also, it seems impossible to happen. How could a fire engine in a Fedex truck? How could a delivery service faster than fire fighter? They also spared no effort bragging about the speed and efficiency. However, it does make everyone realize what they want to express and reach the purpose of advertising. Regarding the ways of presenting, different from the straight forward way of advertising, picture B uses a kind of ironic way to give a sharp comparison of lack of efficiency fire engine and indirectly make people realize the speed that the delivery service have.
Every advertisement have the same purpose--- to make impression on consumers, but they will be presented by unlimited ways, that is why the advertisements are always attractive.
