Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Answer directly with “Yes, very often,” then explain where you see advertisements and why. Correct the grammar in “it depends and related” and “it is more easy.” Use natural expressions such as “when I use my phone or computer,” “browse websites,” and “advertisements appear.” Avoid repeating “advertisement” too often.
Exemplo: Yes, I see advertisements very often when I use my phone or computer. They usually appear on apps such as YouTube and social media, as well as on websites I browse. Since I spend a lot of time online, it is almost impossible to avoid them.

Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Use the past tense because you are describing a childhood memory. Clearly identify the advertisement and explain why it impressed you.

Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Pontuação: 64.0Sugestão: The answer is relevant and includes specific examples, but some phrases are unnatural. Say “advertisements” rather than “advertisement,” “at every train station” rather than “in every train stations,” and “on the outside of taxis, minibuses, and buses” rather than “on their car bodies.” Organize the examples with a linking phrase such as “For instance.”
Exemplo: Yes, there are advertisements everywhere on public transport in Hong Kong. For instance, you can see them inside train stations and on trains, while taxis, minibuses, and buses often have advertisements on their exterior. Public transport is a popular place for companies to promote their products because so many people see it every day.

× Yes, it is very common to see advertisements when we are using the OR computer.
✓ Yes, it is very common to see advertisements when we are using our computer.
Our is the correct possessive determiner because the speaker means a computer belonging to the speaker or the speaker's group. OR is not grammatically appropriate in this sentence.
× It depends and related to the current advertisement method.
✓ It depends on and is related to the current advertising method.
Depend must be followed by the preposition on. The two ideas need a parallel structure: depends on and is related to. The verb related also needs the auxiliary verb is.
× Nowadays since we use many apps like YouTube, surfing the websites, it is more easy to see the advertisement.
✓ Nowadays, since we use many apps such as YouTube and surf websites, it is easier to see advertisements.
The sentence needs a parallel verb structure: use and surf. Easier is the correct comparative form of easy, not more easy. Advertisements should be plural because the speaker is referring to advertisements in general, so the definite article the is unnecessary.
× Yes, there is advertisement which was the Apple Stores advertisement presenting the latest iPhone at that moment which was the iPhone 4.
✓ Yes, there was an advertisement for the Apple Store that presented the latest iPhone at that time, which was the iPhone 4.
Because the question refers to the speaker's childhood, was is more appropriate than is. A singular countable noun needs an article, so advertisement becomes an advertisement. The original relative-clause structure is unclear; that presented creates a clearer sentence.
× It is very impressive for me because I was the first time to see a new iPhone like this.
✓ It was very impressive to me because it was my first time seeing a new iPhone like this.
The event happened in the past, so is must become was. The natural structure is it was my first time seeing, not I was the first time to see. After first time, the -ing form is natural in this sentence.
× Yes, it is very popular and common to see lots of advertisement on the trains and other transport in Hong Kong.
✓ Yes, it is very popular and common to see lots of advertisements on trains and other forms of transport in Hong Kong.
Advertisement is a countable noun and must be plural after lots of. When speaking generally, trains does not need the definite article the. Forms of transport is the correct plural noun phrase.
× For example, in every train stations there are lots of stands for advertisement and for the transport umm such as taxi, minibus or bus, they usually will have advertisement on their car bodies.
✓ For example, at every train station, there are lots of stands displaying advertisements. On forms of transport such as taxis, minibuses, and buses, there are usually advertisements on their exteriors.
Every must be followed by a singular noun, so train stations becomes train station. At is the appropriate preposition for a station. Advertisements must be plural because the speaker refers to many advertisements. The second original clause has an unclear subject and structure, so there are advertisements provides a clearer grammatical construction.
× It depends on which types of advertisements. I like the advertisement that promoting some new technologies the most, since I like the latest technologies and I usually will focus on the latest information.
✓ It depends on which types of advertisements. I like advertisements that promote new technologies the most, since I like the latest technologies and usually focus on the latest information.
Advertisements should be plural when referring to advertisements in general. The relative clause needs the finite verb promote, so that promoting is incorrect here. The phrase usually will focus is unnecessarily awkward for a general present habit; usually focus is the appropriate present-tense form.
× I'll as I mentioned that I like the technological advertisement the most since umm I deeply interest about the latest informations of the technologies such as the AI tech, umm, some AI engines or some gadgets products.
✓ As I mentioned, I like technological advertisements the most because I am deeply interested in the latest information about technologies such as AI technology, AI engines, and gadgets.
As I mentioned is the correct introductory structure; I'll is not needed. Advertisements should be plural when referring to them generally. The correct expression is am deeply interested in: interested is a past participle adjective and must be followed by in, not about. Information is uncountable and does not normally take a plural form. Gadgets is already plural, so products is unnecessary.
× Yes, I have bought a training program for the iOS examination when I see the advertisement on the website and I think it helps me and it is useful to practice the English so that I have bought the services.
✓ Yes, I bought a training program for the iOS examination when I saw an advertisement on a website. I thought it would help me and be useful for practicing English, so I bought the service.
The purchase and the related actions happened in the past, so see must become saw and think must become thought. An advertisement and a website need articles because they are singular countable nouns. English is generally used without the definite article the. After useful for, practicing is the appropriate -ing form. The final clause should use bought rather than have bought to maintain the past-time sequence.
