ADVERTISEMENT
ย
ANSWERS
ย
ย
Which advertisements are you interested in watching, TV advertisements or internet advertisements? ย
ย
(Answer 1)ย ย
ย
Honestly, none of them! I hate ads simply because theyโre distracting. I hate it when Iโm watching a very exciting part of a TV drama then all of a sudden (suddenly), itโs cut because ads need to play. All the high intense (extreme) emotions are spoiled (destroyed) because of the commercial and thatโs undeniably annoying.ย ย
ย
(Answer 2)ย ย
ย
Well, I think nobody likes advertisements because theyโre usually time-consuming. However, if I had to choose one between the two, Iโd rather go for internet ads because I have a choice to skip them. Unlike TV ads that I really need to endure (go through) a series of commercials until the TV program that I watch returns.ย ย
ย
What kinds of advertisements do you dislike? ย
ย
(Answer 1)ย ย
ย
All of them! As Iย said earlier, I hate ads as theyโre stealing my time. However, I really understand because those ads are the ones that fuel (support) the TV network, social media companies like Youtube and Facebook, and content creators financially. Without ads, those institutions and video creators wonโt exist since ad money is making them survive in the industry. ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
I abhor (to feel hatred) those ads that portray (show) violence, especially those mobile or computer game shooting ads. Iโm very sensitive to shooting scenes because of the never-ending (unstoppable) shooting violence in the US. I think those kinds of ads influence those children or people who are mentally ill or those who have psychopathic or sociopathic behavior. I believe those types of ads can trigger them to do something nasty (unpleasant).ย ย
ย
Are there many advertisements in your country? ย
ย
(Answer 1)ย ย
ย
Undeniably, yes! There are countless of them, especially if youโre watching a TV program thatโs really popular. Because there are so many ads, youโre highly likely to lose interest in the program as those ads,ย unfortunately, spoil (destroy) your enthusiasm (excitement).ย ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Unfortunately, yes! So many of them that you canโt even count. Not only in the traditional media but even on the internet and in the streets. Well, thatโs not surprising since the advertising industry is giant (major, big). Almost all companies rely on (depend) ads to promote their products and services to people as that method is the most effective revenue driver.ย ย
ย
Do you want to work in advertising in the future? ย
ย
(Answer 1)ย ย
ย
No, I donโt think I have any talent for advertising. I believe if one wants to work in that kind of industry, he must have creativity and the ability to convey (deliver) the message of the product or service that can surely entice (attract) people. And honestly, I donโt think I possess (have) those kinds of skills.ย ย (Answer 2) ย Well, if thereโs an opportunity, then why not? Iโm the kind of person who loves trying new things. I think Iโll be able to utilize my creative thinking skills if I get the chance to work in the advertising industry. I know that working in that industry is demanding but Iโm up for it (willing to try something out).
ย
What kind of advertisements do you watch? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
I watch all sorts (types) of advertisements, I mean I donโt have any choice but to watch whatever ads that appear on TV. However, when it comes to ads on social media, Iโm selective on what ads Iโm fine watching and the good thing is that I can skip some ads but if Iโm watching a channel of my favorite Youtubers, I never skip ads as I want them to make money from their hard work.ย ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
As Iโm more into gadgets, most of the time, I enjoy watching commercials that are tech-related (technology) because I want to be updated with the latest products from my favorite tech companies. Though I also enjoy watching commercials for beauty products, I can say that I donโt watch those ads as often as gadget-related ads. ย ย
ย
Where can you see advertisements? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
Advertisements are undeniably (unable to be denied) everywhere! We all can see them on TV, in newspapers, online, on billboards, and even hear them on the radio and on podcasts. The advertising industry is a gargantuan (massive ) money-making industry, as a result, they appear everywhere.ย ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Well, most of the time on TV, online, on the streets, and in malls. I believe theyโre part of everyoneโs life. Everyone sees ads at home and outside. Wherever we go, we see ads any time of the day and which makes me believe theyโre seriously part of our existence.
ย
ย ย ย
ย
Have you ever bought something because of its advertisement? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
Definitely and a lot of times! For some reason, Iโm easily convinced by testimonial ads (an advertising method that highlights the end userโs statement extolling the virtue of a product or brand ). I dunno, I find those kinds of commercials enticing (attractive & tempting ), intriguing (fascinating; arousing oneโs curiosity ), and credible. My latest purchases were heavily influenced by those types of ads that I watched and I have no regrets though. ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Yes, Iโve done that several times, but I donโt easily get convinced by the ads that I watch. I normally check the reviews of the products before making a decision because I really want to make sure to buy something which I believe is of high quality.ย ย
ย
Do you watch advertisements from the beginning to the end? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
Well, if the advertising medium is TV, then I do watch the ads till they finish. However, if they appear on social media platforms, I always have a choice not to watch the entire ad. As I said earlier, I make it a habit (do something habitually) to watch ads on my favorite Youtube channels because itโs my way of helping content creators.ย ย
ย
(Answer 2)
ย
ย
Never! I donโt want to waste my time watching those ads, though I normally watch a portion of the ad, I never want to watch the entire ad, especially if the duration is a minute or two. I can tolerate watching ads for no more than ten seconds.ย ย ย
