Preparing a script for a radio advert

You're going to be asked to write a radio advert soon. The words used for the advert are called the script.

The script should last for a particular length of time. This is because radio adverts (and TV adverts too) cost more the longer they are. A typical advert length is 15 or 30 seconds.
