What are advertisements?

Advertisements are messages that try to make you want something new or more of something you already like.

Imagine you're walking through a candy store, and someone gives you a tiny chocolate bar with a note that says, "Try our giant chocolate bar, it's super sweet!" That little note is like an advertisement. It’s trying to get you to choose the bigger chocolate bar instead of just the small one.

Advertisements are used by people who sell things, like candy, toys, or even toys that turn into robots! They want to make sure you notice their products and think they’re really cool. Sometimes they use funny songs, bright colors, or even your favorite cartoon characters to grab your attention.

You might see advertisements on television, like during your favorite show. Or you might hear them while playing a game, "Do you want to buy more coins?" That’s an advertisement too! They're everywhere, just like how your mom reminds you to clean up your toys, but with a little more fun.
