3D TV on its way

Secondary activity

Write a radio advert

Samsung has asked you to come up with a fantastic advert that could be used to launch the new televisions on the radio.

You need to think really hard about how you will explain something so visual as 3d television using only words.

Think carefully about what devices you will use to create your radio advert - will you use music, a famous voice, a slogan, persuasive words, part of a script from a film or particular sound effects?

Remember your advert should only last a maximum of two minutes!

Record your advert as a podcast and when it is edited (you could use editing software such as Audacity) send it to us by clicking on Be a reporter and we will put the best ones on the site!
