李老师邀请咱们去他家做客,给他带点儿什么礼物好呢? 他很喜欢葡萄酒,我们就给他买两瓶葡萄酒吧。 可是这里有这么多种,你知道哪种好吗? 我觉得这种不错,你看它酒瓶做得都这么艺术。而且电视上经常有它的广告,我想味道应该不错。 广告只会介绍优点,却不会说它的缺点。实际上,很多东西并不像广告上说的那么好,所以不能完全相信广告。 你说的也对。

Teacher Li invited us to his home. What gift should we bring him? He really likes wine, so let's buy him two bottles of wine. But there are so many kinds here; do you know which kind is good? I think this kind is not bad; look, even its bottle is so artistic. Also, there are often ads for it on TV; I think the taste should be pretty good. Ads only introduce the advantages, but they do not mention the disadvantages. In fact, many things are not as good as what the ads say, so you cannot fully trust ads. You're right too.
