Advertisement— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer the question more directly by saying how often you see advertisements on your phone or computer. Correct the grammar in “Every time when I see TV or videos” and “for a certain amount of time.” Use “an advertisement” or “ads,” and avoid repeating the same idea. Add one specific example, such as seeing ads before YouTube videos.

Exemplo: Yes, I see advertisements almost every time I use my phone or computer, especially on YouTube and social media. Many platforms make me watch an ad before I can continue, which can be quite annoying. However, I usually tolerate short ads if the content I want to watch is free.

Sugestão: Give a clear example of one advertisement rather than referring vaguely to “some snack companies.” The phrase “looked into” is unnatural here, and “new product advancements” does not fit the context; use “new products” or “new snacks.” Explain what the advertisement showed and why it made you want to try the product.

Exemplo: Yes, I remember an advertisement for a chocolate snack that I saw on television when I was a child. It showed children sharing it during a school break, so the product looked fun and delicious. I remember asking my parents to buy it because the advertisement made me curious about its taste.

Sugestão: Start with a direct answer and avoid repeating “every time” and “all the time.” Use more natural expressions such as “I see advertisements quite frequently.” Also, clarify the types of advertisements: “sales, city brands, public campaigns, or job opportunities.” Add a brief detail about where you see them, such as inside carriages or at stations.

Exemplo: Yes, I see a lot of advertisements on public transport, particularly inside trains and buses. They usually promote special sales, local brands, public campaigns, or job opportunities. I also notice large posters at stations because they are designed to catch passengers’ attention while they are waiting.

Sugestão: Make your opinion clearer by contrasting useful advertisements with irrelevant ones. Correct “it depends if” to “it depends on whether,” and avoid repeating “practical and useful.” The phrases “I can refer to the advertisements” and “useless I feel” are unnatural; use “I may pay attention to them” and “I simply ignore them.”

Exemplo: It depends on the advertisement. I like ads that are informative and provide practical details, such as prices, discounts, or product reviews. However, if an ad is repetitive or irrelevant to me, I usually ignore it.

Sugestão: Your answer has a clear preference, but correct “they show that product doesn't save me time” to “they show how the product can save me time.” Use “customer reviews” in the plural and connect the ideas more naturally. Explain briefly why reviews make an advertisement more trustworthy.

Exemplo: I usually prefer short and informative online advertisements because they show how a product can save me time. I also appreciate ads that include customer reviews, since these make the product seem more reliable. For example, I find reviews especially helpful when I am comparing different appliances.

Sugestão: The answer is relevant and well supported, but change “I often bought” to “I once bought” or “I bought.” Avoid repeating the general statement and the example; combine them more smoothly. You could also mention the result, such as whether the blender met your expectations, to make the answer more complete.

Exemplo: Yes, I once bought a small kitchen blender after seeing an online advertisement. It looked compact and easy to clean, and the video showed it making a smoothie in just a few seconds. I decided to try it, and fortunately, it has been quite useful in my daily routine.

× Every time when I see TV or videos on YouTube, I have to watch advertisement or a certain amount of time.

✓ Every time when I see TV or videos on YouTube, I have to watch an advertisement for a certain amount of time.

The singular countable noun advertisement needs the indefinite article an because it begins with a vowel sound. Use an when referring to one nonspecific advertisement.

× Every time when I see TV or videos on YouTube, I have to watch advertisement or a certain amount of time.

✓ Every time when I see TV or videos on YouTube, I have to watch an advertisement for a certain amount of time.

The correct preposition for expressing a duration is for: for a certain amount of time. The preposition or cannot express duration here.

× Yes, well when I was a child I really looked into some snack companies new product advancements, it made me feel that I wanted to try some day.

✓ Yes, well, when I was a child, I really looked into some snack companies' new product advancements, and it made me feel that I wanted to try them someday.

The original sentence contains a comma splice: two independent clauses are joined only by a comma. Use the conjunction and to connect them correctly. The possessive apostrophe in companies' shows that the products belong to the companies.

× Yes, well when I was a child I really looked into some snack companies new product advancements, it made me feel that I wanted to try some day.

✓ Yes, well, when I was a child, I really looked into some snack companies' new product advancements, and it made me feel that I wanted to try them someday.

The pronoun them clearly refers to the plural noun product advancements. The original pronoun it does not match that plural reference.

× Oh yes when I ride a train or a bus every time I see it almost all the time all the time.

✓ Oh yes, whenever I ride a train or a bus, I see advertisements almost all the time.

The pronoun it is unclear because the intended meaning refers to advertisements, which is plural. Use the plural noun advertisements or the pronoun them when the reference is plural.

× I think it depends if the advertisements are really practical and useful, an informative one.

✓ I think it depends on whether the advertisements are really practical, useful, and informative.

The verb depend is followed by the preposition on. In this structure, whether is also more grammatically appropriate than if because it introduces an alternative condition.

× I think it depends if the advertisements are really practical and useful, an informative one.

✓ I think it depends on whether the advertisements are really practical, useful, and informative.

An informative one is a fragment in the original sentence because it is not connected to a complete clause. Include informative as an adjective in the list describing advertisements.

× I think I can refer to the advertisements, but it is not so practical and useful information.

✓ I think I can refer to the advertisements, but they do not provide very practical or useful information.

The pronoun they must be used because it refers to the plural noun advertisements. The singular pronoun it does not agree with this plural antecedent.

× I think I can refer to the advertisements, but it is not so practical and useful information. I would just ignore it and useless I feel.

✓ I think I can refer to the advertisements, but if they do not provide practical or useful information, I would just ignore them because I feel they are useless.

The original clauses are not arranged into a clear grammatical structure, especially useless I feel. The revised version uses a conditional clause and places the reason clause in a complete and logical position.

× I think I can refer to the advertisements, but it is not so practical and useful information. I would just ignore it and useless I feel.

✓ I think I can refer to the advertisements, but if they do not provide practical or useful information, I would just ignore them because I feel they are useless.

Use they and them because advertisements is plural. The original uses the singular pronoun it, which does not agree with advertisements.

× Well, I usually like short and informative ads online because they show that product doesn't save me time.

✓ Well, I usually like short and informative ads online because they show that the product doesn't save me time.

The singular countable noun product needs a determiner. Use the because the sentence refers to a specific product shown in the advertisement.

× I often bought a small kitchen blender after seeing a video online because it looked compact and easy to clean.

✓ I bought a small kitchen blender after seeing a video online because it looked compact and easy to clean.

The sentence describes one completed purchase in the past, so the simple past bought is appropriate. The adverb often suggests repeated purchases and conflicts with the specific example introduced by I have bought something.
