An ordinary ad for a light dessert is in the process of being recorded. The problem is that the script says 'It's deliciously indulgent AND it only has 100 calories' and the actress cannot bring herself to say this -- surely this is impossible?! A little gem of an ad -- a brilliant idea! Topic: Advertising / Food Level: B2 -- C1

SCRIPT
A: Ever wished you could have it all? Now you can with new ‘Yoplait Delights’. Two layers of rich, creamy yogurt. It’s deliciously indulgent or it only has 100 calories…
P: Hang on – the script says ‘and’…
A: What did I say?
P: You said ‘or’… It should be ‘deliciously indulgent AND 100 calories’… Let’s go again from ‘Yoplait Delights’; rolling on two…
A: …new Yoplait Delights. Two layers of rich, creamy yogurt. It’s deliciously indulgent or it only has 100 calories… Better?
P: No, you still said ‘or’.
A: Yeah, but that can’t be right; delicious AND 100 calories? Seriously – look at these flavours: Chocolate Raspberry, Lemon Torte, Creme Caramel…
P: It’s in the script – take it again from ‘deliciously’ please.
A: …deliciously indulgent, or 100 calories – I’m sorry, I can’t do it.
P: (sighs) Fine, I’ll fix it in edit.
A: Ever wished you could have it all? Now you can with new ‘Yoplait Delights’. Two layers of rich, creamy yogurt. It’s deliciously indulgent (P: AND) it only has 100 calories. Find it first at Kroger.

Tough guy Vinnie shows that there are times in life when it pays to be tough. Like when someone is having a cardiac arrest for instance. A fantastic concept – the incongruity of having someone who looks like a psychopathic thug delivering a pro-social message makes it extremely memorable. Entertaining, excellent listening practice, PLUS students get to learn something which might prove to be a life-saving skill for real life. What more could one ask for?

SCRIPT
My name is Vinnie Jones and I’m going to teach you a lesson you’ll never forget. There are times in life when being tough comes in handy. Say some geezer collapses in front of you. What do you do? We need a volunteer that ain’t breathing.
Here’s one I made earlier. First thing you do is you check him over. If he ain’t responsive or he ain’t breathing or he’s making noises like this. (SOUND: serious weezing) then his heart has stopped working and he’s having a cardiac arrest. Look lively. First, call 999. Then you do Hands-only CPR. And no kissing. You only kiss your missus on the lips. Watch. Lock your fingers together, knuckles up. Then push down. Right on the sovereign.
Push down five or six centimetres. That’s about two inches in old money.
Push hard and fast about two times a second, like to the beat of ‘Stayin’ Alive’. Worried you’ll hurt him? Better a cracked rib than him kicking the bucket. Keep this up until the ambulance arrives.
So, don’t forget. Check him over. Call 999. Push hard and fast to ‘Stayin’ Alive. It work’s. Hands-only CPR. It ain’t as hard as it looks.
If you want to come in handy in an emergency, why not sign up for one of our HeartStart courses.")
