Do you often see advertisements when you are on your phone or computer?
分數: 55.0建議: Answer the question directly, then explain when you see advertisements and why you skip them. Improve grammatical accuracy: say “I watch YouTube” instead of “I just watching the YouTube,” “they are not interesting to me” instead of “it is no interest,” and avoid repeating “sometimes” and “ignore.” Use a linking word such as “however” to connect your ideas.
範例: Yes, I often see advertisements when I use my phone or computer, especially on YouTube and other websites. However, I usually skip them because many of them are not relevant to my interests. I only watch them if they introduce a product that I might actually need.
Is there an advertisement that made an impression on you when you were a child?
分數: 52.0建議: Give one clear example of a toy advertisement and explain its effect on you. “Addicted to an advertisement” is unnatural here; use “fascinated by toy advertisements” or “really attracted to them.” Also, say “while I was watching cartoons,” “I repeatedly asked my mother,” and explain that the toy was expensive or your mother did not want to buy it.
範例: Yes. When I was a child, I was fascinated by advertisements for toy robots that appeared during cartoons. I repeatedly asked my mother to buy one because it looked exciting and could transform into different vehicles. However, she thought it was too expensive, so I had to wait until my birthday.
Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
分數: 58.0建議: Use “advertisements” rather than “advertisers” because you mean the messages, not the people who create them. Make the example more specific and correct the grammar: “advertisements for university entrance exams” and “I get tired of seeing them.” Organize the answer with “although” or “however” to show the contrast between seeing many advertisements and ignoring them.
範例: Yes, I see a lot of advertisements on trains, particularly above the seats and near the doors. Many of them are for university entrance exams or private tutoring, so they are not very relevant to me now. Although I understand why they are displayed, I sometimes get tired of seeing the same advertisements every day.
Do you like advertisements?
分數: 62.0建議: State your opinion clearly and avoid repeating words such as “we can” and “many.” Use “Advertisements can introduce me to new products” instead of “I can know many new things.” Develop the answer with one specific feature of Japanese commercials, and connect your contrasting idea with “although” or “however.”
範例: Yes, I generally like advertisements because they introduce me to products and services I did not know about. Japanese commercials are often creative and include amusing stories or memorable characters, which makes them entertaining to watch. However, I dislike them when the same commercial is repeated too many times.
What kind of advertising do you like?
分數: 60.0建議: Use the plural form “advertisements” and describe the type more naturally: “I like dramatic advertisements that tell a story.” Avoid repetition in “a story of story” and clarify how the product changes the person’s life. Include a specific example or result to make your answer more effective.
範例: I like dramatic advertisements that tell a story about a person’s life. For example, an advertisement might show someone becoming healthier or more confident after using a particular product. I find these commercials fascinating because they create an emotional connection rather than simply listing the product’s features.
Have you ever bought something because of an advertisement?
分數: 48.0建議: Use the present perfect form “Yes, I have,” because the question asks about life experience. Explain clearly that the actress was the brand ambassador and that the ring looked attractive; “it looks so fascinated” should be “it looked fascinating,” and “a great experience of body” is unclear and should be removed. Add the result, such as whether you liked the ring after buying it.
範例: Yes, I have. About three years ago, I bought a ring after seeing an advertisement featuring my favorite actress, who was the brand ambassador. The ring looked elegant, and I liked the way she wore it. I was satisfied with the purchase and still wear it on special occasions.
× Sometimes I just watching the YouTube or some internet pages.
✓ Sometimes I just watch YouTube or browse some internet pages.
The sentence describes a habitual action, so use the simple present form watch, not the -ing form watching. YouTube is normally used without the definite article. For regular activities, use simple present verbs such as watch, browse, and visit.
× I always skip them because sometimes it is no interest it is out of my interest.
✓ I always skip them because they are sometimes uninteresting and outside my interests.
The original sentence contains two incomplete and incorrectly connected clauses. Use they to refer to the advertisements, and connect the two descriptions with and. A complete clause needs a subject and a correctly formed complement.
× Sometimes I'm so addicted to the advertisement of fascinating toys.
✓ Sometimes I was so addicted to advertisements for fascinating toys.
The student is describing a childhood experience, so was is more appropriate than am. Advertisements is plural because the statement refers to advertisements in general. Use advertisements for toys to describe their subject naturally.
× After watching advertisement during the animation or cartoons, I repeatedly asked my mother to buy it.
✓ After watching advertisements during animated programs or cartoons, I repeatedly asked my mother to buy them.
A singular countable noun such as advertisement needs an article, but the general meaning here is better expressed with the plural form advertisements. The pronoun them agrees with the plural noun advertisements.
× It is a little bit difficult to give.
✓ It was a little difficult for her to give in.
The answer refers to a childhood event in the past, so use was instead of is. The phrase give is incomplete in this context; give in means to stop refusing and agree to something.
× There are many advertisers especially on the train.
✓ There are many advertisements, especially on the train.
An advertiser is a person or company that promotes something, whereas an advertisement is the promotional message itself. Since the sentence refers to messages displayed on trains, use advertisements.
× Many of them were not relevant to me, for example about the entrance examination of the university or the university.
✓ Many of them are not relevant to me, for example, advertisements about university entrance examinations or universities.
The question asks about advertisements that the student generally sees, so use the simple present are rather than the past form were. University entrance examinations and universities are plural because the statement is general.
× I sometimes ignore and may feel a little bit tired to seeing it.
✓ I sometimes ignore them and may feel a little tired of seeing them.
The correct expression is tired of, not tired to. The preposition of is followed by a gerund, seeing. Use them instead of it because them refers to the plural advertisements.
× We can I can know many new things that I don't know through the advertisement.
✓ I can learn many new things through advertisements.
The sentence contains two subjects and two modal structures, we can and I can, which makes it structurally incorrect. Use one clear subject and verb phrase: I can learn. Advertisements is more natural when speaking generally.
× Sometimes I feel a little bit tired to see them over and over again.
✓ Sometimes I feel a little tired of seeing them over and over again.
After the expression tired of, use a gerund ending in -ing. Therefore, seeing is correct, not see. The phrase tired of seeing describes annoyance caused by repeated exposure.
× I like the advertisement with dramatic one.
✓ I like advertisements with dramatic stories.
The phrase dramatic one is incomplete because one must replace a clearly understood singular noun. Since the student is describing a general type of advertisement, use the plural noun advertisements and state the feature directly with dramatic stories.
× For example, there is a story of story to story of their lives and their life changes dramatically by using its product.
✓ For example, some advertisements tell the story of people's lives, which change dramatically after they use the product.
The original sentence repeats story and does not clearly connect its clauses. Use tell the story of people's lives to express the idea clearly. The relative clause which change explains what happens to the lives, and the product has a clear singular reference.
× Yes, I do. I bought a ring by watching the advertisement about three years ago.
✓ Yes, I have. I bought a ring after seeing an advertisement about three years ago.
The question begins with Have you ever, so the short answer should use the present perfect auxiliary have: Yes, I have. The purchase happened at a specific time in the past, so bought is correct. After seeing an advertisement is a natural way to describe the reason for the purchase.
× My favorite actress was that ambassador loves it and it looks so fascinated.
✓ My favorite actress was the ambassador, she loved it, and it looked fascinating.
The original sentence incorrectly joins several clauses and omits the subject of loves. Separate the ideas with commas and use she to refer to the actress. Since the story is about a past event, use loved and looked.
× It looks so fascinated.
✓ It looked so fascinating.
Fascinated describes a person's feeling, while fascinating describes something that causes interest or excitement. Because it refers to the ring, use the adjective fascinating. Also use looked to maintain the past-time reference.
× It is also a great experience of body.
✓ It was also a great experience for me.
The preposition of is incorrect in this expression. Use for me to show that the experience was personally meaningful to the speaker. Was is appropriate because the student is discussing a past purchase and experience.
