Advertisement— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g. ‘some advertisement by some’). Use more precise vocabulary (e.g. ‘ads’ or ‘advertisements’, ‘brands’).

Ejemplo: Yes, I see a lot of ads on my phone and computer. For example, while scrolling Instagram I often encounter short videos from beauty and clothing brands, which usually promote new collections or discounts. These ads are important for brands because they reach many potential customers quickly.

Sugerencia: Give a complete and coherent answer: include a clear topic sentence, one specific detail about the ad, and explain the effect on you with linking words. Avoid unfinished sentences. Use more precise grammar (‘study abroad consultancy’, ‘explained the application process’).

Ejemplo: Yes, one ad that impressed me was for an overseas study consultancy. It explained how they helped students with applications, visas and university choices, and even showed success stories. As a result, I felt motivated to consider studying abroad and researched programs the following year.

Sugerencia: Be direct and use clear comparison language. Start with a topic sentence stating whether you see many ads, then give a reason and a short example. Correct grammar (e.g. ‘over the last decade’ not ‘since a decade’).

Ejemplo: Not really; I see fewer ads on trains nowadays. Over the last decade, many transport ads have declined because companies focus more on online platforms, although I still notice occasional posters and digital screens at major stations.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and avoid vague phrasing (‘controversial’). Give one or two clear reasons and use linking words to contrast opinions. Correct awkward expressions and be specific about what you dislike and why.

Ejemplo: I have mixed feelings about ads. On the one hand, I dislike misleading ads—for example, skin-care commercials that promise unrealistic fairness—because they are dishonest. On the other hand, I like ads for electronics since they help me compare features and prices before buying.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence naming the types you like, then give specific reasons and examples. Use linking words to connect ideas and finish sentences fully. Replace vague words like ‘daily utensils’ with ‘household items’ or ‘kitchenware’.

Ejemplo: I prefer ads for electronic gadgets and useful household items. For instance, ads for smartphones or kitchen appliances usually highlight key features and prices, which helps me decide whether a product fits my needs and budget.

× Yes, advertisements are very much popular nowadays.

✓ Yes, advertisements are very popular nowadays.

'Very much' is incorrect before the adjective 'popular'. Use 'very' to modify adjectives. Suggestion: use 'very popular' or 'much more popular' depending on meaning.

× When I scroll through my social media accounts, I often see some advertisement by some beauty brands or some clothing brands.

✓ When I scroll through my social media accounts, I often see advertisements from beauty brands or clothing brands.

Use plural 'advertisements' to match general reference and use preposition 'from' to indicate the source (brands). Avoid redundant 'some' twice. Suggestion: use 'advertisements from' and plural 'brands'.

× I think it is important for the brand to advertise their product.

✓ I think it is important for brands to advertise their products.

Singular 'brand' with plural possessive 'their' causes disagreement. Either keep singular and use 'its product' or make both plural. Suggestion: use 'brands' and 'their products' for general statements.

× I saw an advertisement about a company promoting abroad studies.

✓ I saw an advertisement from a company promoting study abroad programs.

The phrase 'promoting abroad studies' is awkward. Use the noun phrase 'study abroad' or 'study abroad programs'. Also 'from a company' is more natural than 'about a company' in this context.

× The company provided consultancy to the students who didn't know the process how to apply abroad.

✓ The company provided consultancy to students who didn't know the process of applying to study abroad.

Use the gerund 'applying' after 'process of' and include 'to study abroad' to clarify purpose. 'The students' can be generalized to 'students'.

× The advertisement really motivated me because I also wanted to study abroad and I felt.

✓ The advertisement really motivated me because I also wanted to study abroad and I felt inspired.

Sentence ends abruptly with 'I felt.' Add an adjective (inspired) to complete the clause. Maintain past tense 'wanted' and 'felt' for consistency.

× Due to the availability of social media platforms, advertisement on trains or other transport have decreased since a decade.

✓ Due to the availability of social media platforms, advertising on trains and other transport has decreased over the past decade.

Use 'advertising' (noun) rather than 'advertisement' for the general activity. Subject-verb agreement: 'advertising...has decreased'. Use 'over the past decade' rather than 'since a decade'. Use 'and' instead of 'or' for listing.

× But before that I saw some posters that were being available on the train.

✓ But before that I saw some posters on the train.

'Were being available' is incorrect passive construction. Use simple past 'saw' and 'on the train'. Remove unnecessary 'being' and 'that'.

× It is a very controversial question.

✓ That is a difficult question.

'Controversial' typically describes issues rather than whether the speaker likes advertisements. 'Difficult' or 'complicated' fits better. Also replace 'It' with 'That' to refer to the asked question.

× I don't like some irrelevant advertisements, like our brand promoting a skin care product that claims that it will provide fairness to the scheme.

✓ I don't like irrelevant advertisements, such as a brand promoting a skincare product that claims it will make the skin fairer.

Remove 'some' which is unnecessary. 'Skin care' can be 'skincare' and 'make the skin fairer' is clearer than 'provide fairness to the scheme' which is unidiomatic. Use 'such as' to introduce examples.

× But some advertisement, like for any electronic gadgets, those are really helpful for me, so I like them.

✓ But some advertisements, for example those for electronic gadgets, are really helpful to me, so I like them.

Avoid mixing singular and plural and remove redundant pronoun 'those'. Use 'advertisements' plural and rephrase 'helpful to me'.

× As I have mentioned earlier, I like advertisement about electronic gadgets also some daily utensils that are really helpful.

✓ As I mentioned earlier, I like advertisements about electronic gadgets and some everyday utensils that are really helpful.

Use plural 'advertisements' and 'everyday utensils' instead of 'daily utensils'. 'As I mentioned earlier' is more natural than 'As I have mentioned earlier' in spoken context.

× It provides you an insight of the prices and the features that the product contains so.

✓ They give you insight into the prices and the features of the products.

Match plural subject 'advertisements' with plural verb 'give' (or 'They give'). Use 'insight into' not 'insight of'. Use 'features of the products' rather than 'features that the product contains'. Remove trailing 'so'.
