Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: ‘advertisement’는 여기서 복수형인 ‘advertisements’가 자연스럽습니다. 또한 ‘when I watch some YouTube videos’와 ‘there are usually two advertisements, each lasting about twenty seconds’처럼 문장을 나누어 직접적이고 정확하게 말하세요. ‘it’s just about two advertisement’는 문법적으로 부자연스럽고, 광고의 빈도나 길이를 구체적으로 설명하면 답변이 더 효과적입니다.
Exemplo: Yes, I often see advertisements when I use my phone or computer. For example, YouTube usually shows me two ads before or during a video, and each one lasts about twenty seconds. They can be a little annoying, especially when I am watching a short video.
Is there an advertisement that made an impression on you when you were a child?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: 내용과 이유가 구체적이고 ‘because’를 사용해 논리적으로 연결한 점이 좋습니다. 다만 ‘a one minute short advertisement’는 ‘a short, one-minute advertisement’, ‘loga song’은 의미에 따라 ‘jingle’, ‘there was a one’은 ‘there was one’으로 수정하세요. 문장이 길어질 수 있으므로 광고의 특징과 인상 깊었던 이유를 두세 문장으로 나누면 더 자연스럽습니다.
Exemplo: Yes, I remember a short, one-minute advertisement from my childhood. I used to watch TV after school, and its catchy jingle always stayed in my head. The melody was memorable, and the funny characters made the advertisement especially entertaining.
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: 질문에 직접 답한 점은 좋지만, ‘Yes, in Korea, on public buses’처럼 전치사와 관사를 정확히 사용하세요. ‘in the bus’와 ‘on the small screen’의 반복을 줄이고, ‘Many buses have small screens that display advertisements’처럼 표현하면 더 자연스럽습니다. 버스 광고의 위치나 종류를 한 가지 구체적으로 덧붙이면 답변이 더 풍부해집니다.
Exemplo: Yes, I see quite a lot of advertising on public transport in Korea. Many buses have small screens that display advertisements, and some subway stations also have large digital posters. They are usually easy to notice because passengers look at the screens while they are waiting or travelling.
Do you like advertisements?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: 의견과 이유가 분명하지만, ‘skip the videos’는 광고를 건너뛴다는 의미로 부정확하므로 ‘skip the ads’라고 해야 합니다. 두 절을 연결할 때 쉼표나 ‘because’를 사용하고, 광고가 싫은 구체적인 이유로 ‘interrupt my videos’ 또는 ‘waste my time’을 추가하세요. ‘whenever an advertisement comes on’이 ‘the advertisement comes out’보다 자연스럽습니다.
Exemplo: I don’t really like advertisements because they interrupt the videos I am watching. Whenever an ad comes on during a YouTube video, I usually skip it as soon as possible. However, I do enjoy advertisements that are creative or genuinely funny.
What kind of advertising do you like?
Pontuação: 63.0Sugestão: 선호하는 광고의 종류를 제시한 점은 좋지만, ‘logo songs’보다는 ‘jingles’가 적절하고, 복수 주어인 ‘songs or characters’ 뒤에는 ‘make’를 사용해야 합니다. ‘make me feel not boring’은 ‘keep me entertained’로 바꾸세요. ‘some’의 반복을 줄이고, 왜 그런 광고를 좋아하는지 한 문장으로 명확하게 설명하면 더 자연스럽습니다.
Exemplo: I like advertisements with memorable jingles or funny characters. They keep me entertained instead of making me feel bored while I am watching YouTube videos. I especially enjoy ads that tell a short story or use clever humor.
Have you ever bought something because of an advertisement?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: 경험과 구매 이유를 말하려 했지만 문법과 어휘 오류가 많아 의미가 다소 불명확합니다. ‘while I was scrolling through Instagram’, ‘I saw an online clothing advertisement’, ‘the products attracted me’처럼 표현하세요. ‘movies’는 이 문맥에서 ‘videos’ 또는 ‘ads’가 적절하며, 어떤 옷을 샀고 왜 마음에 들었는지 구체적으로 설명하면 답변의 내용과 효과가 향상됩니다.
Exemplo: Yes, I once bought a jacket because of an advertisement on Instagram. While I was scrolling through my feed, I saw a short video showing someone wearing it in several different outfits. I liked the design and the price, so I clicked the link and ordered it online.
× Yes, I can often see advertisement when I watch some YouTube videos it's just about two advertisement for twenty seconds.
✓ Yes, I can often see advertisements when I watch YouTube videos. There are usually about two advertisements, and they last for twenty seconds.
The countable noun advertisement must be plural after the general expression see advertisements and after the number two. Use advertisements when referring to advertisements in general or more than one advertisement.
× Yes, I can often see advertisement when I watch some YouTube videos it's just about two advertisement for twenty seconds.
✓ Yes, I can often see advertisements when I watch YouTube videos. There are usually about two advertisements, and they last for twenty seconds.
The original sentence joins several independent ideas without proper punctuation or a conjunction. Separate the ideas into two sentences and connect the final ideas with and.
× Yes, there was one when I was a child. I used to watch TV after school and there was a one minute short advertisement with a catchy loga song that always stayed in my head because the melody was very memorable and the characters were funny.
✓ Yes, there was one when I was a child. I used to watch TV after school, and there was a short, one-minute advertisement with a catchy song that always stayed in my head because the melody was very memorable and the characters were funny.
When a duration is used as a compound adjective before a noun, it should be written as one-minute. The adjective short is placed before the duration phrase, producing the more natural order short, one-minute advertisement.
× Yes in Korea in the public bus there are small screens in the bus so we can clearly see the advertisement on the small screen.
✓ Yes, in Korea, there are small screens on public buses, so we can clearly see the advertisements on them.
Use on rather than in for buses because passengers travel on a bus. The phrase on public buses is also more natural when speaking about buses in general.
× Yes in Korea in the public bus there are small screens in the bus so we can clearly see the advertisement on the small screen.
✓ Yes, in Korea, there are small screens on public buses, so we can clearly see the advertisements on them.
The sentence refers to advertisements in general, so the plural form advertisements is more appropriate than the singular form advertisement.
× I like some advertisements which have some memorable logo songs or like funny characters that makes me feel not boring when I'm watching YouTube videos.
✓ I like advertisements that have memorable logo songs or funny characters that make me feel entertained when I watch YouTube videos.
The original relative clause is not parallel: have is followed by like instead of another matching verb phrase. Repeating have before the second object or restructuring the sentence makes the sentence clearer and grammatically parallel.
× I like some advertisements which have some memorable logo songs or like funny characters that makes me feel not boring when I'm watching YouTube videos.
✓ I like advertisements that have memorable logo songs or funny characters that make me feel entertained when I watch YouTube videos.
The relative pronoun that refers to the plural noun characters, so the verb must be make, not makes. A plural subject takes the base form of the verb in the present tense.
× I like some advertisements which have some memorable logo songs or like funny characters that makes me feel not boring when I'm watching YouTube videos.
✓ I like advertisements that have memorable logo songs or funny characters that make me feel entertained when I watch YouTube videos.
Boring describes something that causes a feeling, while bored describes a person's feeling. In this context, entertained is a more natural adjective because the advertisements make the speaker feel interested and amused.
× Yes, I bought some clothes from the advertisement because when I was scrolling my Instagram they showed me some online shopping movies about clothes and that product were attracted me.
✓ Yes, I bought some clothes because I saw an advertisement while I was scrolling through Instagram. It showed me some online shopping videos about clothes, and those products attracted me.
The correct expression is scroll through Instagram, not scroll Instagram. The preposition through indicates that the speaker is looking through the content on the platform.
× Yes, I bought some clothes from the advertisement because when I was scrolling my Instagram they showed me some online shopping movies about clothes and that product were attracted me.
✓ Yes, I bought some clothes because I saw an advertisement while I was scrolling through Instagram. It showed me some online shopping videos about clothes, and those products attracted me.
Use an before advertisement because it is a singular countable noun mentioned for the first time. Use an advertisement rather than the advertisement when the listener has not yet been told which advertisement it is.
× Yes, I bought some clothes from the advertisement because when I was scrolling my Instagram they showed me some online shopping movies about clothes and that product were attracted me.
✓ Yes, I bought some clothes because I saw an advertisement while I was scrolling through Instagram. It showed me some online shopping videos about clothes, and those products attracted me.
The products perform the action of attracting the speaker, so the sentence needs the active voice: those products attracted me. The original form were attracted me incorrectly combines passive voice with an object pronoun.
× Yes, I bought some clothes from the advertisement because when I was scrolling my Instagram they showed me some online shopping movies about clothes and that product were attracted me.
✓ Yes, I bought some clothes because I saw an advertisement while I was scrolling through Instagram. It showed me some online shopping videos about clothes, and those products attracted me.
The sentence refers to the clothes shown in the advertisement, so the plural noun products is appropriate. The demonstrative those also agrees with the plural noun.
× Yes, I bought some clothes from the advertisement because when I was scrolling my Instagram they showed me some online shopping movies about clothes and that product were attracted me.
✓ Yes, I bought some clothes because I saw an advertisement while I was scrolling through Instagram. It showed me some online shopping videos about clothes, and those products attracted me.
The original subject product is singular but is incorrectly followed by were. The corrected sentence uses the plural subject products with the plural demonstrative those and the correct active verb attracted.
× Yes, I bought some clothes from the advertisement because when I was scrolling my Instagram they showed me some online shopping movies about clothes and that product were attracted me.
✓ Yes, I bought some clothes because I saw an advertisement while I was scrolling through Instagram. It showed me some online shopping videos about clothes, and those products attracted me.
The original sentence contains several clauses joined in an unclear order. Dividing it into two sentences and using while for the ongoing action makes the relationships between the ideas clear.
