Sample Answers
What kinds of advertisements do you see? I see a lot of ads on social media, like on Facebook and Instagram. I also see them on TV, especially during my favorite shows. And of course, I see billboards and posters when I'm walking around the city. I think the most common ones I see are for new movies, electronics, and food products. I guess that's because those are things that people are always interested in, you know, new gadgets and good food.
Where can you see advertisements? Advertisements are everywhere, it seems like. I see them on my phone, on the internet, on TV, on the radio, even on the sides of buses and trains. I think the most annoying ones are the pop-up ads on websites, though. I'm trying to read an article or watch a video, and suddenly there's this loud, flashy ad in my face. But I guess that's just the way it is nowadays, with so many companies competing for our attention.
Have you ever bought something because of an advertisements? Yeah, I have to admit, I've bought things because of ads. Like, I saw this ad for a new smartwatch, and it looked really cool, so I ended up buying it. I think what caught my attention was the fact that it was waterproof, and I'm a big swimmer, so that was a major selling point for me. Plus, the ad was really well-made, it was funny and catchy, so it stuck in my head.
Do you watch advertisements from the beginning to the end? Honestly, no, I don't usually watch ads all the way through. I mean, most of the time I'm just waiting for them to finish so I can get back to what I was watching. But sometimes, if the ad is really interesting or funny, I'll watch it till the end. Like, I saw this ad for a new video game, and it was like a mini-movie, it was so well-made. So, I watched the whole thing, and it actually made me want to buy the game.
