Advertisement— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the answer grammatically correct, more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using linking words. Correct verb forms and use articles where needed.

Example: Yes, I see many advertisements on my phone. For example, when I scroll through Instagram, I often come across ads for jewelry because those brands target social-media users like me.

Suggestion: Use past tense consistently and avoid redundancy. Give one clear memory with specific detail and link clauses properly. Correct noun and adjective forms (brightly -> bright).

Example: Yes, one childhood advertisement that impressed me was for a candy brand. I watched it on TV and remember the bright colors and catchy jingle, which made the product stand out.

Suggestion: Be more precise and natural: use correct vocabulary (boundaries -> billboards/posters) and avoid repetition. Use a topic sentence then one or two supporting specifics with linking words.

Example: Yes, there is a lot of advertising on public transport in Hong Kong. For example, on the MTR you can see posters and digital ads inside carriages and on station walls, promoting everything from electronics to fashion.

Suggestion: Use correct grammar and more natural phrasing to explain your opinion and reason. Start with a clear opinion sentence, then give a specific example with linking words. Use gerunds and pronouns correctly.

Example: Not really — I find many ads irritating because they interrupt what I'm doing. For instance, when I'm reading an online novel, pop-up ads often appear and break my concentration.

Suggestion: Good content but improve grammar and add a linking word. Use plural verbs and be specific about platforms or examples. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer short online video ads because they are quick and demonstrate products in use. For example, I often watch short clips on social media that show how a gadget works, which helps me decide whether it suits me.

Suggestion: Use past simple for completed actions and make the sequence clear. Provide a concise topic sentence, then one specific detail about why you bought it. Avoid run-on sentences.

Example: Yes, once I bought a pair of boxing gloves after seeing an ad on social media. The ad showed clear product shots and positive reviews, which convinced me to make the purchase.

× Well yes, I often see a lot of advertisements when I using my phone.

✓ Well yes, I often see a lot of advertisements when I am using my phone.

The sentence requires a continuous verb form after 'when' to indicate an action in progress. 'I using' is missing the auxiliary 'am'. Use 'am using' (present continuous) to form the correct tense and agree with the subject 'I'. Suggestion: Use 'I am using' or 'I'm using' for present continuous actions.

× For example when I looking my Instagram there is a lot of jewelry advertisements.

✓ For example, when I am looking at my Instagram there are a lot of jewelry advertisements.

Two issues: first, 'looking' needs the auxiliary 'am' to form present continuous ('I am looking'). Second, the verb 'look' requires the preposition 'at' when referring to looking at an app. Also 'a lot of jewelry advertisements' is plural and must use 'there are' instead of 'there is'. Suggestion: Use 'I am looking at' and 'there are' for plural nouns.

× Well yes, I remember when I was a kid I love to watch TV and there's several advertisements was candy and it catch my eyes because of the brightly colors.

✓ Well yes, I remember when I was a kid I loved to watch TV and there were several advertisements for candy and they caught my eye because of the bright colors.

Multiple tense and agreement issues: 'remember' introduces a past-time clause, so 'love' should be past 'loved'. 'There's several' is incorrect for plural; use 'there were several'. 'was candy' should be 'for candy' to show what the adverts were advertising. 'it catch my eyes' has subject-number and tense errors: 'they caught my eye' matches plural 'advertisements' and past tense. 'brightly colors' uses adverb 'brightly' where adjective 'bright' is needed; 'eye' is normally singular in the phrase 'caught my eye'. Suggestion: Keep past tense throughout the recalled event and match plural subjects with plural verbs.

× Well, yes, in Hong Kong there's boundaries of advertisement on the wall.

✓ Well, yes, in Hong Kong there are advertisement boundaries on the walls.

'Boundaries of advertisement' is awkward; a more natural phrase is 'advertisement boundaries' or 'advertisements on the walls'. Also 'there's' is singular; use 'there are' for plural 'boundaries'. 'On the wall' should be plural 'on the walls' if referring generally to many walls in transport. Suggestion: Use 'there are advertisements on the walls' or 'there are advertisement boundaries on the walls'.

× For example, when we take the MTR, there's a lot of different advertisements on the cars or on the walls, and we can see different unique products they want to show us.

✓ For example, when we take the MTR, there are a lot of different advertisements on the cars and on the walls, and we can see various unique products they want to show us.

'There's' (there is) is incorrect for the plural noun phrase 'a lot of different advertisements'; use 'there are'. 'On the cars or on the walls' is acceptable but 'and' is more natural. 'Different unique' is redundant; 'various unique' or just 'unique' is clearer. Suggestion: Use 'there are' for plural and avoid redundant modifiers.

× Well, I don't really like advertisement because sometimes it's annoyed me.

✓ Well, I don't really like advertisements because sometimes they annoy me.

'Advertisement' should be plural 'advertisements' when speaking generally. 'It's annoyed me' mixes contractions and past participle incorrectly; 'they annoy me' uses present simple to express a general feeling. If referring to past occasions, use 'they annoyed me'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for general statements and match tense: 'they annoy me' for habitual annoyance.

× For example, when I concentrate reading a novel on the website, there's always showing up some of the advertisements.

✓ For example, when I concentrate on reading a novel on a website, some advertisements always show up.

'Concentrate reading' needs the preposition 'on' before the gerund: 'concentrate on reading'. 'On the website' is better as 'on a website' for general reference. 'There's always showing up some of the advertisements' is ungrammatical: use 'some advertisements always show up' or 'there are always some advertisements that show up'. Suggestion: Use 'concentrate on reading' and place the subject before the verb for clarity: 'some advertisements always show up'.

× Well I prefer short online video ads. They are quick and show the products in use so I can see if it work for me.

✓ Well I prefer short online video ads. They are quick and show the products in use so I can see if they work for me.

'If it work' has subject-verb disagreement: 'it' is singular while referring to 'products' (plural) or better use 'they' to refer to 'products'. 'Work' needs the plural form 'work' which matches 'they'. Suggestion: Match pronouns to their antecedents: use 'they' for plural 'products'.

× For example, I often watch show clips on social media.

✓ For example, I often watch short clips on social media.

'Watch show clips' is awkward; 'short clips' or 'show clips' may be unclear. If intended 'show clips' meaning clips from shows, say 'clips from shows' or simply 'short clips'. Also no grammar rule violation except word choice; adjusted for naturalness. Suggestion: Use natural collocations like 'short clips' or 'clips from shows'.

× Well, I remember one time I use my social media and there's a pair of boxing gloves, advertisement shows up and I really love it, so I bought it afterwards.

✓ Well, I remember one time I was using my social media and a pair of boxing gloves advertisement showed up and I really liked it, so I bought it afterwards.

The memory refers to a past event, so maintain past continuous 'I was using' rather than 'I use'. 'There's a pair' should be 'a pair of boxing gloves advertisement showed up' with past 'showed up'. 'I really love it' should be past 'I really liked it' to match the timeline. Also pronoun 'it' could be 'them' to match 'gloves' (plural) but 'a pair' is singular, so keeping 'it' is acceptable; better: 'I really liked them' or 'the ad showed a pair of boxing gloves that I really liked'. Suggestion: Keep past tense consistently and match pronouns to number (use 'them' for gloves or 'it' for a pair).
