Every day, it is easy to see advertisements all around us. Look around. How many different advertisements can you see?
Often products show the names of the companies that made them. This is a popular form of advertising. The special picture or symbol, for example, logo, appears on many different products. When you see a logo, it is hard to forget the product or the company.
Many people buy a product because it is made by a certain company. In fact, some people only buy the products of the famous companies. They think it proves that they are fashionable and have a good taste.

All advertisements are designed to make people buy the products. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of fashionable young people who are having fun.

One day he heard from a friend that something black in colour holds the heat better than something white in colour. Franklin wanted to find out if this was true or not.
There was snow on the ground at the time. So he put two large pieces of cloth over the snow. One piece of cloth was black in colour, the other piece was white.
