I'm going to talk about an advertisement I saw recently, which I found quite annoying. It was an advertisement on YouTube, playing before a video about Chinese skincare products. I found it very disruptive because it kept interrupting my viewing experience. The advertisement seemed misleading and exaggerated. It showed flawless skin on the models, which was not at all realistic. The graphics were also not very appealing. The advertisement was displayed in a very intrusive way, appearing right before the video I wanted to watch. I think it could be improved by being less intrusive and more realistic in its portrayal of the product. Perhaps they could focus on showcasing the actual benefits of the product in a more subtle and engaging way.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

Now I’m going to talk about an advertisement I bought, which I have watched, which can stand Um, as I remember, it’s an advertisement on the YouTube video, on the YouTube above about a Chinese skin and to me is was very annoying because when I when I when I watched the other when I watched all the contents, when I is is certain is turn out, um, knitting knitting the my most of consultations. And I think this contents will show misleading and over the top because I touch download in the skin to my phones, and it’s not like on app the the advertisement. Again, it’s very enough. And on show is in This graphics is in on it’s, um, not eye catching. I was showed in I was showed refused above and so I suppose I will I will encounter more meaningful advertisement in the futures.

Task Response

4.5

The student provides a basic description of the advertisement, but lacks specific details and fails to fully explain why they disliked it. They mention the advertisement being 'misleading' and 'over the top,' but don't elaborate on these points. The student could improve by providing more specific examples of what made the advertisement misleading and exaggerated. They could also discuss how the advertisement could be improved in a more concrete way, rather than just saying it should be 'less intrusive' and 'more realistic.' The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The structure of the answer is also somewhat unclear, with the student jumping between different points without clear transitions.
