SECTION A: COMPREHENSION
QUESTION 1: READING FOR MEANING AND UNDERSTANDING
JO Alkaster 2012
These are the questions that fast food companies worry about when they
produce commercials or print ads for their products. Video and photo shoots 10
often last many hours. The lights that the photographers use can be
extremely hot. These conditions can cause the food to look quite unappealing
to potential consumers. Because of this, the menu items that you see in fast
food commercials are probably not actually edible.
Lets use the hamburger as an example. The first step towards building the 15
perfect commercial hamburger is the bun. The food stylista person
employed by the company to make sure the products look perfectsorts
through hundreds of buns until he or she finds one with no wrinkles. Next, the
stylist carefully rearranges the sesame seeds on the bun using glue and
tweezers for maximum visual appeal. The bun is then sprayed with a 20
waterproofing solution so that it will not get soggy from contact with other
ingredients, the lights, or the humidity in the room.
Next, the food stylist shapes a meat patty into a perfect circle. Only the
outside of the meat gets cookedthe inside is left raw so that the meat
remains moist. The food stylist then paints the outside of the meat patty with 25
a mixture of oil, molasses, and brown food colouring. Grill marks are either
painted on or seared into the meat using hot metal skewers.
Finally, the food stylist searches through dozens of tomatoes and heads of
lettuce to find the best-looking produce. One leaf of the crispest lettuce and
one centre slice of the reddest tomato are selected and then sprayed with 30
glycerine to keep them looking fresh.
So the next time you see a delectable hamburger in a fast food commercial,
remember: youre actually looking at glue, paint, raw meat, and glycerine! Are
you still hungry?
