READING COMPREHENSION
3. Read the following text.
Three Signs you are a Slave of Consumerism
Our whole economic system is based on consumption. The more people buy,
the more money is in circulation, and that’s what some suggest is best for a
society. Most of us think that we are not victims of consumerism, when in reality
we are, but we just don’t realise it. Hera are the three basic revealing signs that
will help you find out if you are a slave to consumerism:
1. You seek happiness in consuming.
One of the most revealing signs of one who is a slave to consumerism is that
he or she is seeking personal gratification through the act of buying products. To
them, shopping is a kind of psychological “therapy” that allows them to fill their
lives with the things that they are consuming. However, they don’t realise that
objects cannot truly bring them happiness. On the contrary, most of the time the
more they buy, the more disappointed they feel since objects can only give them
temporary pleasure.
2. You buy only expensive brands.

Another sign showing that you might be a slave to consumerism is that you
always focus on buying famous or expensive brands. You don’t care about buying
products that you truly need and that are efficient, but you buy those brands that
make you feel that you are as important as advertising has made you believe.
3. You always want more.

The desires of those who are victims of consumerism are insatiable – they
want more and more things, and no matter how many they have, they still need
more. This insatiability is an obvious sign that a person is a prisoner of his or her
own desire. Maybe the products they buy are just a substitute for what they truly
need, and a substitute can never be good enough to fulfil you, no matter how
much you buy or how much it costs.
3.1. According to the text, say if the sentences are True (T) or False (F). (15 pts)
a) A few people don’t realise we are victims of consumerism.
b) Trying to please or satisfy one’s self is a way of seeking personal gratification.
c) Slaves to consumerism always compare prices and select the cheapest.
d) Slaves to consumerism only buy things they need
e) Victims of consumerism are never satisfied.

c) What’s people’s goal when they buy only
will be a substitute for the things they
expensive brands?
truly need and cannot achieve.

healthier you get.
