Yes, of course. When I was read later, I remember a snack commercial with a very Cathy single. The song was so addictive that it got stuck in my head for years.
Examiner
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Candidate
Yes, yes, especially on the subway or bus. The worst and screen doors are plastered with boosters and detail screens promoting products.

Do you like advertisements?
Candidate
Not really, I find them quite annoying. They often interrupt the YouTube videos when I'm watching and I want to press the skip button.
Examiner
What kind of advertising do you like?
Candidate
I like humorous or creative ads. If an ad is funny, I feel I don't feel like a waste of time and I tended to remember the brand better.

Candidate
Yes, constantly I see target as everywhere the algorithm show me it's based on my browsing history, which is sometimes a bit creepy.

Score: 55.0Suggestion: 문법과 발음 오류를 고치고 문장을 더 자연스럽고 명확하게 구성하세요. 예를 들어 시제와 단어 선택 오류(‘When I was read later’, ‘Cathy single’)를 수정하고, 주제문 뒤에 이유와 구체적 예를 덧붙여 답변을 확장하세요. 또한 중복 표현을 줄이고 최대 5문장 이내로 간결하게 유지하세요.
Example: Yes. When I was a child, a snack commercial with a catchy jingle impressed me. The song was so addictive that it stuck in my head for years, and I can still sing part of it now. Because the melody was simple and repeated often, it became unforgettable. That commercial made me want to buy the snack whenever I saw it in stores.
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: 문장의 의미 전달이 흐릿하고 어휘 선택이 부정확합니다(예: ‘boosters’, ‘detail screens’). 보다 정확한 단어와 명확한 구조로 다시 말하세요. 토픽 문장을 말한 후에 구체적인 위치와 예시를 연결사로 이어 설명하세요.
Example: Yes, I see a lot of advertising on public transport, especially on subways and buses. For example, platform walls and screen doors are often covered with posters and digital displays promoting products. Because many commuters pass through these areas, advertisers use bold images and short slogans to catch attention. As a result, it feels like ads are unavoidable when I travel by train.
Do you like advertisements?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 의견은 분명하지만 이유와 구체적 예시를 한두 문장 더 추가해 보세요. 연결어를 사용해 이유를 자연스럽게 덧붙이면 대화가 더 논리적으로 들립니다. 또한 부정 표현 뒤에는 대안이나 예외를 말해 균형을 맞추세요.
Example: Not really. I find many ads quite annoying because they interrupt videos on YouTube and make it hard to focus. For instance, I often have to wait through 15- or 30-second pre-roll ads before I can watch a clip. However, I don't mind short, relevant ads that introduce useful products.
What kind of advertising do you like?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: 좋은 답변이지만 문장 중복과 시제 오류(‘I feel I don't feel’, ‘tended to’)를 수정하세요. 주제문 뒤에 이유와 구체적 결과를 연결어로 설명하면 더 설득력 있습니다.
Example: I like humorous and creative advertisements because they entertain me and leave a positive impression. For example, a funny ad can make me remember the brand’s name and logo, so I’m more likely to consider buying their products. Therefore, humor is an effective way for advertisers to build familiarity.
Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 어순과 문법(‘constantly I see target as everywhere’, ‘the algorithm show me’)을 고치고, 구체적 예시(예: 배너, pop-ups, sponsored posts)를 추가하세요. 감정 표현(‘a bit creepy’)을 이유와 함께 연결하면 더 자연스럽습니다.
Example: Yes, I see ads constantly on my phone and computer because algorithms show me targeted content based on my browsing history. For instance, I often encounter banner ads, sponsored posts on social media, and video ads before streaming. This targeted advertising can feel a bit creepy since it suggests companies know a lot about my preferences.
× When I was read later, I remember a snack commercial with a very Cathy single.
✓ When I was younger, I remember a snack commercial with a very catchy jingle.
The original sentence has several issues: 'read later' is incorrect and likely a mistyping for 'younger'; 'Cathy single' is incorrect word choice and form—should be 'catchy jingle'. This is a sentence structure and word choice problem. Suggestion: use 'When I was younger' to indicate childhood and 'catchy jingle' for a memorable ad song.
× The worst and screen doors are plastered with boosters and detail screens promoting products.
✓ The walls and screen doors are plastered with posters and digital screens promoting products.
The sentence uses incorrect words: 'worst' likely should be 'walls'; 'boosters' and 'detail screens' are incorrect—use 'posters' and 'digital screens'. This is a sentence structure and vocabulary choice issue. Suggestion: choose correct nouns that fit the context (walls, posters, digital screens).
× They often interrupt the YouTube videos when I'm watching and I want to press the skip button.
✓ They often interrupt the YouTube videos when I'm watching, and I want to press the skip button.
Main issue is punctuation/compound sentence clarity rather than tense. However, maintain present tense 'interrupt' and 'want'. Add a comma before 'and' to join two independent clauses. Suggestion: punctuate compound sentences properly to improve readability.
× If an ad is funny, I feel I don't feel like a waste of time and I tended to remember the brand better.
✓ If an ad is funny, I don't feel like it's a waste of time, and I tend to remember the brand better.
Mixed tense and redundant phrasing: 'I feel I don't feel' is repetitive; 'tended' is past tense but the conditional refers to general present, so use 'tend'. Also include 'it's' to complete 'a waste of time'. Suggestion: avoid repetition and keep consistent present tense for general truths.
× Yes, constantly I see target as everywhere the algorithm show me it's based on my browsing history, which is sometimes a bit creepy.
✓ Yes, I constantly see targeted ads everywhere; the algorithm shows me ads based on my browsing history, which is sometimes a bit creepy.
Problems: word order ('constantly I see' should be 'I constantly see'); 'target as' should be 'targeted ads'; 'show' needs third-person singular 'shows'; missing article before 'ads' and clarity issues. This combines subject-verb agreement and sentence structure errors. Suggestion: reorder for natural English, use 'targeted ads', and match verb form to subject.
