广告— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer is generally natural and relevant, but it is slightly long and has some grammar issues and repetition. Make a clear topic sentence, avoid redundant phrases, correct tense and article use, and add one or two specific details (brand, slogan or melody) using a linking word to clarify why it impressed you.

範例: Yes. One advertisement that stuck with me was a ketchup commercial I saw when I was about three. It had a very catchy jingle and a bright, playful animation, so I remember both the tune and the characters. Because the music was so memorable, I still hum the melody sometimes.

建議: Good direct response and relevant examples. Improve fluency by tightening sentences, correcting minor grammar (use consistent nouns, avoid 'also' repetition), and add a linking phrase to explain why you find them useful (e.g., they inform you of local options). Keep it within 3–4 concise sentences.

範例: Not often, as I rarely use public transport. However, when I drive I notice many printed ads on buses for restaurants, clothing stores and food brands. I find these ads useful because they inform me about local offers and new places to try.

建議: Your answer expresses a clear opinion but is a little informal and contains phrasing issues (e.g., 'tempo of watching the video', 'that's the only way that I know'). Use a more natural expression, balance likes and dislikes, and give a specific example of a product you learned about to support your point. Keep sentences concise and coherent with linking words like 'however' and 'for example'.

範例: I generally dislike YouTube ads because they interrupt the video, but I appreciate other ads that introduce useful products. For example, an online ad once told me about a time-saving kitchen gadget that I later bought and found very helpful.

建議: Clear reason and example, but avoid repetition and awkward phrases ('happen to know what's happening outside'). Streamline your answer: give the topic sentence, a reason with linking word, and one concise specific example (name or type of promotion). Fix the repeated word 'they'.

範例: I prefer promotional ads because I like saving money. For instance, when a nearby restaurant advertises a two-for-one dinner deal, I often take my family there to enjoy a cheaper meal.

建議: Good content with specific platforms and observations. Improve by splitting into two clear sentences (phone vs computer), using correct tense and smoother linking (e.g., 'on my phone... whereas on my computer...'), and avoid vague phrases like 'those kinds of ads'. Add a brief example of a relevant ad to be more specific.

範例: Yes. On my phone, especially Instagram stories, I often see targeted ads related to my searches, such as clothing or gadget recommendations. On my computer I see fewer ads overall, but many of them are gambling-related.

× Yes, firstly I remember in between the TV shows there were advertisements and one particular advertisement that hooked me was a catch up advertisement and they have a song that has a good rhythm and memorable melody.

✓ Yes, firstly I remember that between the TV shows there were advertisements, and one particular advertisement that hooked me was a catch-up advertisement; it had a song with a good rhythm and a memorable melody.

Use of 'catch up' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective 'catch-up'. 'They have a song' mixes present with past context; the rest of the sentence refers to a past memory, so use past tense 'it had' to match timeframe. Also improve clarity by adding 'that' after 'remember' and replacing 'in between' with 'between'.

× And that time I was only three years old I think.

✓ At that time I was only three years old, I think.

Use 'at that time' for referring to a specific past moment. The original had informal word order; adding the preposition 'at' makes the past reference clear and natural.

× I don't really take public transport, but when I'm driving I see that on the buses there are a lot of printed ads, like for example some restaurants or also some clothing and of course also some food supply.

✓ I don't really take public transport, but when I'm driving I see that there are a lot of printed ads on the buses, for example for restaurants, clothing brands, and food suppliers.

The original misplaced 'that' and had awkward noun phrases: 'some clothing' and 'food supply' are not natural here. Use 'for example for restaurants, clothing brands, and food suppliers'. Move 'on the buses' to the correct position. Pronoun/word order and noun choice were incorrect.

× And I've found those advertisements actually useful.

✓ And I find those advertisements actually useful.

The context describes a general, ongoing opinion, so the simple present 'I find' is more appropriate than present perfect 'I've found', which implies a specific experience leading to a result.

× To be honest, I hate advertisements that appear on YouTube because it interrupts my tempo of watching the video, but sometimes I actually find it useful because that's the only way that I know new products that I usually won't buy and it's sometimes just life changing.

✓ To be honest, I hate advertisements that appear on YouTube because they interrupt my viewing of the video, but sometimes I actually find them useful because they're the only way I learn about new products I wouldn't usually buy, and sometimes they're life-changing.

Plural subject 'advertisements' requires plural verb 'they interrupt' (subject-verb agreement). 'Tempo of watching the video' is awkward; use 'viewing of the video'. Replace 'it' with 'them' when referring back to 'advertisements'. Use 'learn about' instead of 'know', and 'I wouldn't usually buy' is the correct word order. Hyphenate 'life-changing' or use as adjective; here 'they're life-changing' fits.

× I like ads about promotion because I'm a person who likes to save money and sometimes I happen to know what's happening outside.

✓ I like ads about promotions because I'm a person who likes to save money, and sometimes they let me know what's happening outside.

'Ads about promotion' is awkward; use 'ads about promotions'. 'I happen to know what's happening outside' incorrectly suggests the speaker accidentally knows; better to say 'they let me know' referring to ads. Pronoun 'they' correctly refers back to 'ads'.

× So maybe when a restaurant is having a promotion and they they put it as advertisement, I would bring my family over to enjoy a dinner.

✓ So maybe when a restaurant is having a promotion and they put it in an advertisement, I would bring my family over to enjoy dinner.

Remove the duplicated 'they'. Use 'in an advertisement' rather than 'as advertisement'. 'Enjoy a dinner' is less natural than 'enjoy dinner'.

× Yes, I use Instagram a lot and when I'm browsing through the stories I always see those kinds of ads and they are usually linked to what I search on the Internet so they would recommend me relevant ads and on the computer it's usually less advertisement but most of them are about gambling.

✓ Yes, I use Instagram a lot, and when I'm browsing through the stories I always see those kinds of ads; they are usually linked to what I search for on the internet, so they recommend relevant ads to me. On the computer there are usually fewer advertisements, but most of them are about gambling.

Change 'what I search on the Internet' to 'what I search for on the internet'. 'Would recommend me' is incorrect for habitual action; use 'recommend relevant ads to me'. Use 'fewer advertisements' (countable) instead of 'less advertisement', and 'on the computer' should be a separate clause. Also use lowercase 'internet' per common style; adjust article and pluralization.
