Advertisement— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and avoid the unnatural phrase “I have no chance.” Use “I can’t avoid seeing advertisements” instead. Explain where you see them and why they appear, using a linking word such as “especially” or “because.” Complete your final sentence and use the plural form “advertisements” when speaking generally.

Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I often see advertisements when I use social media platforms such as Facebook and X. They usually appear between posts because these platforms use targeted advertising based on my interests.

Gợi ý: It is acceptable to say that you do not remember, but the answer should sound more natural and specific. Say “an advertisement that made an impression on me” rather than “the advertisement which I had impression.” If you cannot recall a real example, briefly describe the type of advertisement you may have remembered, such as a memorable cartoon or jingle.

Ví dụ: To be honest, I don’t remember a specific advertisement from my childhood. However, I vaguely remember colorful commercials for snacks that were shown during children’s programs. Their catchy music made them easy to remember.

Gợi ý: Give a clear answer using “Yes, I see a lot of advertisements.” Replace “there is no chance” with “it is almost impossible to avoid them.” Mention specific locations, such as inside trains, on station walls, or on buses, and explain that public transport is an effective advertising channel. Avoid the unclear phrase “the main source for advertisement company to provide.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I see a lot of advertisements on public transport. They are displayed inside trains and buses, as well as on station walls. I think public transport is an effective way for companies to reach a large number of commuters.

Gợi ý: Your opinion is clear, but use the correct forms “I don’t like advertisements very much” and “it’s a waste of time.” Explain the contrast more naturally: advertisements interrupt you when you are looking for information. You could also acknowledge that some advertisements are useful, which would make the answer more balanced and effective.

Ví dụ: To be honest, I don’t like advertisements very much because they often interrupt me when I’m searching for important information online. I find pop-up ads particularly annoying because they slow me down. However, I do appreciate advertisements that introduce useful products or services.

Gợi ý: Use the plural form when discussing advertisements in general: “I like advertisements that tell compelling stories.” Replace “has a story to compelling” with “tells a compelling story,” and explain why this style appeals to you. Your example should clearly connect to your opinion; use “I can relate to them” instead of “It reflected me.”

Ví dụ: I like advertisements that tell compelling stories, especially stories about people overcoming difficulties. For example, some beer commercials focus on friendship and important moments in people’s lives. I enjoy them because they are emotional and easy to relate to, rather than being purely promotional.

Gợi ý: Answer with a complete example and explain how the advertisement influenced your decision. Replace the unclear phrase “it’s simply because of it” with “I was attracted by the product after seeing the advertisement.” Use the past tense consistently and finish the example by describing what the advertisement showed and whether you were satisfied with the purchase.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have. I once bought a pair of running shoes after seeing an online advertisement that showed athletes using them. The design looked comfortable and suitable for exercise, so I decided to buy them. Fortunately, they were comfortable and I was satisfied with my purchase.

× Couldn't see the advertisement on social application like Facebook or X.

✓ I cannot avoid seeing advertisements on social applications such as Facebook or X.

The plural noun advertisements is more appropriate because you are referring to advertisements in general. Social applications is also plural because Facebook and X are two applications.

× Couldn't see the advertisement on social application like Facebook or X.

✓ I cannot avoid seeing advertisements on social applications such as Facebook or X.

The verb avoid must be followed by a gerund, or verb + -ing form. Therefore, avoid seeing is correct, not avoid to see.

× Couldn't see the advertisement on social application like Facebook or X.

✓ I cannot avoid seeing advertisements on social applications such as Facebook or X.

The original sentence does not have an explicit subject. In a complete sentence, use I as the subject and cannot as the auxiliary verb.

× Probably it's crucial for.

✓ Advertisements are probably an important source of income for these companies.

The original sentence is incomplete because crucial for needs an object or a complete complement. The correction expresses the intended idea with a complete sentence structure.

× To be honest, I don't remember the advertisement which I had impression when I was young, but I suppose that, uh, something advertisement impressed me when I was elementary school.

✓ To be honest, I don't remember the advertisement that made an impression on me when I was young, but I suppose that some advertisement impressed me when I was in elementary school.

The correct expression is make an impression on someone, so the preposition on is required. We also say in elementary school, not simply was elementary school.

× To be honest, I don't remember the advertisement which I had impression when I was young, but I suppose that, uh, something advertisement impressed me when I was elementary school.

✓ To be honest, I don't remember an advertisement that made an impression on me when I was young, but I suppose that some advertisement impressed me when I was in elementary school.

Use an before advertisement when referring to an unspecified advertisement. Also, some advertisement is the correct noun phrase; something cannot directly modify a noun in this way.

× Umm there is no chance. Couldn't see advertisement in the train and bus as well.

✓ There is no way to avoid seeing advertisements on trains and buses as well.

Advertisements, trains, and buses should be plural because the answer refers to advertising on public transport in general.

× Umm there is no chance. Couldn't see advertisement in the train and bus as well.

✓ There is no way to avoid seeing advertisements on trains and buses as well.

The question asks about a general present situation, so use the present-tense structure there is and avoid seeing. The past form couldn't does not fit this general meaning.

× Umm there is no chance. Couldn't see advertisement in the train and bus as well.

✓ There is no way to avoid seeing advertisements on trains and buses as well.

Avoid is followed by a gerund, so avoid seeing is the correct form.

× Umm there is no chance. Couldn't see advertisement in the train and bus as well.

✓ There is no way to avoid seeing advertisements on trains and buses as well.

For general forms of transport, use on trains and buses rather than in the train and bus.

× Umm I believe it's the main source for uh from advertisement company to provide.

✓ I believe advertising is a main source of income for advertising companies.

Companies should be plural because the statement refers to companies in general. Income is also the appropriate noun for money received from advertising.

× Umm I believe it's the main source for uh from advertisement company to provide.

✓ I believe advertising is a main source of income for advertising companies.

The natural expression is a source of income for a company. The original combination source for ... from ... is grammatically incorrect in this context.

× Umm I believe it's the main source for uh from advertisement company to provide.

✓ I believe advertising is a main source of income for advertising companies.

Use a before main source because it is a singular countable noun introduced for the first time. Advertising companies needs no article because it refers to companies in general.

× To be honest, I don't like too much advertisement because it's kind of waste of my time for uh, just to watching advertisement other than uh, searching any uh, essential information on the Internet.

✓ To be honest, I don't like advertisements very much because watching them is a waste of my time instead of searching for essential information on the Internet.

Advertisements should be plural when discussing advertising in general. The pronoun them correctly refers back to advertisements.

× To be honest, I don't like too much advertisement because it's kind of waste of my time for uh, just to watching advertisement other than uh, searching any uh, essential information on the Internet.

✓ To be honest, I don't like advertisements very much because watching them is a waste of my time instead of searching for essential information on the Internet.

After the preposition instead of, use the gerund searching. Watching is also used as a gerund because it functions as the subject of the clause.

× To be honest, I don't like too much advertisement because it's kind of waste of my time for uh, just to watching advertisement other than uh, searching any uh, essential information on the Internet.

✓ To be honest, I don't like advertisements very much because watching them is a waste of my time instead of searching for essential information on the Internet.

The correct collocation is search for information. Also, instead of is the appropriate expression for showing a contrast between watching advertisements and searching for information.

× To be honest, I don't like too much advertisement because it's kind of waste of my time for uh, just to watching advertisement other than uh, searching any uh, essential information on the Internet.

✓ To be honest, I don't like advertisements very much because watching them is a waste of my time instead of searching for essential information on the Internet.

Use a before waste because waste is a singular countable noun in the expression a waste of time. No article is needed before essential information because information is uncountable and is being used generally.

× I love the advertisement which has a story to compelling for other people.

✓ I love advertisements that tell a compelling story to other people.

The original phrase has an incorrect structure after story. The correction uses the complete relative clause that tell a compelling story.

× I love the advertisement which has a story to compelling for other people.

✓ I love advertisements that tell a compelling story to other people.

Use the plural noun advertisements when speaking about a type of advertisement in general. Use a before the singular countable noun story.

× For example some beer advertisement shows the human life story.

✓ For example, some beer advertisements show human life stories.

Advertisements and stories should be plural because the sentence describes several examples in general. The plural subject advertisements also requires the plural verb show.

× For example some beer advertisement shows the human life story.

✓ For example, some beer advertisements show human life stories.

A plural subject, beer advertisements, must take the plural verb show, not the singular verb shows.

× Yes, I have bought something because of the advertisement umm, it'll, it's simply because of it, uh, very attractive, uh, product. Uh, for instance, I uh, purchased the uh, running shoes It's a.

✓ Yes, I have bought something because of an advertisement. For instance, I purchased a pair of running shoes because they were very attractive.

The original response contains incomplete and repeated clauses. Dividing the answer into two complete sentences makes the meaning clear and creates a correct subject-verb structure.

× Yes, I have bought something because of the advertisement umm, it'll, it's simply because of it, uh, very attractive, uh, product. Uh, for instance, I uh, purchased the uh, running shoes It's a.

✓ Yes, I have bought something because of an advertisement. For instance, I purchased a pair of running shoes because they were very attractive.

Use an before advertisement because it is an unspecified advertisement. A pair of running shoes is the natural noun phrase, and a is required before the singular countable noun pair.

× Yes, I have bought something because of the advertisement umm, it'll, it's simply because of it, uh, very attractive, uh, product. Uh, for instance, I uh, purchased the uh, running shoes It's a.

✓ Yes, I have bought something because of an advertisement. For instance, I purchased a pair of running shoes because they were very attractive.

The pronoun it cannot clearly refer to the plural noun running shoes. Use they and were when referring to a pair of shoes.
