广告— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar and word choice, and limit to 2–4 concise sentences. Use linking words for clarity (e.g., because, so, therefore). Avoid vague phrases like "close website" — use "certain websites" or "sites I visit often."

範例: Yes, I see advertisements very often on my phone and computer because many websites and apps use targeted ads. For example, after I visit certain shopping sites, the algorithm shows similar product ads across other sites, which I find quite annoying.

建議: Give a direct topic sentence, use correct tense and singular/plural forms, and avoid informal or strong words like "brainwashing." Provide a brief specific detail about the ad and why it was memorable, using a linking word (e.g., because, so).

範例: Yes. One advertisement for a soft drink impressed me because it used a catchy jingle that I still remember. The colourful characters and simple melody made the commercial memorable, so I could hum the tune years later.

建議: Keep the answer direct and correct minor grammar (articles, prepositions) and use linking words to structure explanation. Be specific about locations and effects, and avoid overly long single sentences—split into two if needed.

範例: Yes, there is a lot of advertising on public transport. For instance, many buses have ads on the exterior and MRT carriages display posters on the ceiling and walls, so passengers see them easily while they are seated.

建議: Answer directly with a clear opinion, correct grammar and pronouns, and use linking words (however, but, because) to explain. Be specific about when ads are helpful and avoid repetitive or broken phrases.

範例: I don't particularly like advertisements, but they can be useful sometimes. For example, when I am thinking of buying a product, ads can quickly remind me of popular options and introduce new features.

建議: Begin with a clear topic sentence, correct subject-verb agreement, and provide a specific example or reason using linking words (because/so). Use precise vocabulary like "honest" or "truthful claims."

範例: I prefer advertisements that make truthful claims because they are more reliable. For example, I trust ads that show realistic results or include customer testimonials rather than exaggerated promises.

建議: Start with a clear statement, use past tense consistently, and describe the result concisely. Correct vocabulary (e.g., "pimples"), and use linking words (however, but) to show contrast. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

範例: Yes, I bought a lotion that was heavily promoted and claimed it would make my skin smooth. However, after I used it, I developed many pimples, so the advertisement turned out to be misleading.

× really often, especially after I visit a close website.

✓ I see advertisements very often, especially after I visit a familiar website.

The original sentence begins with a lowercase adverb and lacks a clear subject; 'close website' is incorrect word choice. Use 'I' as the subject, 'see advertisements' for clarity, 'very often' for idiomatic frequency, and 'familiar website' instead of 'close website'. Suggestion: Always start with a capitalized subject and choose correct adjective collocations (familiar website).

× The algorithm often promotes their advertisement, and it is pretty annoying.

✓ The algorithm often promotes its advertisements, and it is pretty annoying.

'Algorithm' is singular so the possessive pronoun must be 'its' (not 'their'). Also 'advertisement' should be plural 'advertisements' to match general meaning or remain singular with article. Suggestion: Ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents and match noun number (singular/plural).

× Probably a type of drink.

✓ It was probably a type of drink.

The fragment lacks a verb. Adding 'It was' provides the past reference and completes the sentence. Suggestion: Include a subject and verb to form a complete sentence, especially when answering a past-tense question.

× They have a really brainwashing music when they are advertising this products and I can still remember the song vividly

✓ They had really brainwashing music when they were advertising this product, and I can still remember the song vividly.

Tense should be past ('had', 'were') to match 'when you were a child'. 'Music' is uncountable, so no article needed; 'this products' is incorrect: use singular 'this product' or plural 'these products'. Pronoun 'they' is acceptable for the company makers but maintain past tense. Suggestion: Match tense to the time frame, use correct number for nouns and pronouns, and treat 'music' as uncountable.

× Yes, they often put their advertisements on the outside of a bus or when you are taking the MRT you usually see the posts on the ceilings, so whenever the passengers sit down they get to see the advertisements.

✓ Yes, they often put advertisements on the outside of buses, and when you take the MRT you usually see posters on the ceilings, so whenever passengers sit down they get to see the advertisements.

Use plural 'buses' for general statements, prefer 'you take' (simple present) for habitual actions, and 'posts' is incorrect; use 'posters'. 'Passengers' does not need 'the' in general statements. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for generalizations, correct vocabulary ('posters'), and consistent present simple for habitual actions.

× No, I won't say I love it.

✓ No, I wouldn't say I love them.

'Won't' suggests future refusal, but here the speaker expresses a hypothetical preference; 'wouldn't' is more natural. Also 'advertisements' is plural, so use 'them' not 'it'. Suggestion: Use appropriate modal for hypothetical statements ('would'/'wouldn't') and match pronoun number.

× However it is they are beneficial sometimes when you are considering buying a type of products, you quickly relate to the products that was that is heavily promoted recently.

✓ However, they can be beneficial sometimes: when you are considering buying a certain product, you quickly relate to products that have been heavily promoted recently.

The original has extra words and incorrect tense and agreement: 'it is they are' is ungrammatical; use 'they can be'. 'A type of products' mixes singular and plural; use 'a certain product' or 'products'. 'That was that is' is redundant; use 'have been' for recent promotion with present relevance. Suggestion: Remove redundancies, ensure number agreement, and use present perfect for recent actions affecting the present.

× I would say advertisements with truthful features.

✓ I would prefer advertisements that present truthful features.

Original is missing a verb to show preference and 'with truthful features' is awkward. 'Would prefer' clarifies liking, and 'present truthful features' is clearer. Suggestion: Use verbs that express attitude ('prefer') and relative clauses ('that') to describe nouns.

× Sometimes companies exaggerates the beneficial effects for their items.

✓ Sometimes companies exaggerate the beneficial effects of their items.

'Companies' is plural so the verb should be 'exaggerate' (not 'exaggerates'). Use 'of' to show the relationship ('effects of their items'). Suggestion: Ensure verb agrees with plural subjects and use correct preposition 'of'.

× Yes, I have purchased a lotion that was heavily promoted by a company and they said that it helps your skin to be really smooth however after I apply it on my face I get pinposts I mean a lot of pinpoes

✓ Yes, I purchased a lotion that was heavily promoted by a company, and they said that it would make your skin very smooth; however, after I applied it to my face I got many pimples.

The question asks about past action, so simple past 'purchased' and 'applied' fit better than present perfect/present. 'They said that it helps' should be backshifted to 'would make' to report what was promised. Use 'applied it to my face' (apply to), and 'pimples' is correct noun instead of unclear 'pinposts/pinpoes'. Suggestion: Match tense to the time frame (use past for completed actions), backshift reported speech, use correct prepositions ('apply to'), and correct vocabulary ('pimples').
