Example: I generally dislike many online advertisements because pop-up ads on sites like YouTube often interrupt whatever I'm watching. For example, a sudden video ad can break my concentration and make me annoyed. I prefer ads that are unobtrusive or clearly relevant to my interests.

× Yes, when I was little I saw many television advertisement, but the most memorable one was Vietnamese app promoting Strawberry Sweet.
✓ Yes, when I was little I saw many television advertisements, but the most memorable one was a Vietnamese app promoting Strawberry Sweet.
Incorrect noun number: 'advertisement' should be plural 'advertisements' to match 'many'. Also missing article before 'Vietnamese app' — add 'a' to indicate one app. Suggestion: Use 'many' with plural nouns and include articles before singular countable nouns.
× It impressed me because of its vivid colors and occasional and I can still remember the tune and the slogan now.
✓ It impressed me because of its vivid colors and music, and I can still remember the tune and the slogan now.
The word 'occasional' is incorrect here; likely intended 'occasion' or 'music'/'jingles'. Also sentence run-on: add 'and' properly to connect clauses. Suggestion: replace 'occasional' with the correct noun like 'music' or 'jingle' and ensure connectors are used correctly.
× I haven't had the chance to you change much, but when I was at university I often saw ad on the side of buses.
✓ I haven't had the chance to change much, but when I was at university I often saw ads on the sides of buses.
Multiple issues: unnecessary words 'to you' should be removed. 'ad' should be plural 'ads' with 's' and 'side' should be plural 'sides' if referring to multiple buses. Suggestion: remove extra words and match plural forms when speaking generally.
× For example, there were many ads for medical services or educational programs because company use buses to reach a lot of students and commuter.
✓ For example, there were many ads for medical services or educational programs because companies use buses to reach many students and commuters.
Quantifier and noun number errors: 'company' should be plural 'companies' to match generalization; 'a lot of students and commuter' is inconsistent — use 'many students and commuters'. Suggestion: use plural nouns with general statements and consistent quantifiers.
× No I would say that I hate advertisement a lot especially when I use social media like YouTube or Facebook.
✓ No, I would say that I hate advertisements a lot, especially when I use social media like YouTube or Facebook.
'Advertisement' should be plural 'advertisements' when speaking generally. Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: use plural form for general references and punctuate clauses.
× The pop up advertisement on what happened and it strikes me a lot.
✓ The pop-up advertisements that appear suddenly bother me a lot.
Original is ungrammatical and unclear: 'on what happened' is incorrect; 'it strikes me a lot' is awkward. Suggestion: rephrase to 'pop-up advertisements that appear suddenly bother me' for clarity and correct structure.
× I was I always feel confused and or even aggressive whenever I saw advertisement.
✓ I always feel confused or even angry whenever I see advertisements.
Tense inconsistency: mixing past 'was' and 'saw' with 'always feel'. Use present tense 'feel' and 'see' for habitual actions. 'Aggressive' used for behavior; 'angry' is better for emotions. Also 'advertisement' should be plural. Suggestion: keep tenses consistent for habitual statements and choose appropriate emotion words.
× In term of mean of advertising, I would say that I'm addicted to billboard advertisement because it kept my attention a lot and it always take places in a big road and when I have time, when I spend time waiting for the red light, I can see the whole every time.
✓ In terms of means of advertising, I would say that I'm attracted to billboard advertisements because they keep my attention a lot and they are always placed on large roads; when I have time waiting at a red light, I can see them every time.
Multiple errors: 'In term of mean' should be 'In terms of means'. 'Billboard advertisement' -> plural 'billboard advertisements'. Tense agreement: use present 'keep' and 'are placed' for general facts. 'Take places' incorrect; use 'are placed'. 'The whole' unclear; replace with 'them'. Suggestion: correct fixed expressions and ensure subject-verb agreement and clear references.
× This day, I often see advertisement unexpectedly whenever I use my phone or my computer.
✓ These days, I often see advertisements unexpectedly whenever I use my phone or my computer.
'This day' is incorrect for current general frequency; use 'These days'. 'Advertisement' should be plural 'advertisements' for general occurrences. Suggestion: use 'these days' for present frequent actions and plural nouns for general statements.
× They pop up whenever I use social media or other apps and I think it's because platform use targeted advertising and people spend more time online.
✓ They pop up whenever I use social media or other apps, and I think it's because platforms use targeted advertising and people spend more time online.
Subject-verb agreement: 'platform' should be plural 'platforms' to match 'use'. Also add comma before 'and' for readability. Suggestion: ensure subjects and verbs agree in number when referring to plural entities.
