Aubrey Carter: 广告让人厌烦,形式也发生了很大变化,这使得一些学生在讨论广告时感到困惑。IELTS考试中的广告相关问题,即使是新题,提问方式也可能比较老套,学生需要适应这种变化。 广告对人们的购买行为有显著影响。例如,我自己在亚马逊购物时,经常因为广告而额外购买商品,这说明广告会影响消费者的购买决策。许多人都有类似的经历。 在回答IELTS口语考试Part 3关于广告的问题时,需要运用多种词汇,包括正式和非正式词汇,并结合个人经历,但要确保回答了问题。 Jessica Beck: 现在广告的形式与过去相比发生了很大的变化,学生需要适应这种变化。现在广告无处不在,形式多样,学生需要拓宽思路,考虑各种广告形式,例如,电视广告、广告牌、邮件传单等等。 广告中常用的音乐和歌词(jingles)可以用来丰富语言表达。“Drowning in ads”可以用来形容信息流中充斥着大量的广告。“Target market”指的是广告的目标受众,这是一个正式的表达,适用于写作任务二。 制作广告时,应该考虑广告的朗朗上口程度(catchy jingles),以及广告内容的道德责任,避免虚假宣传(false claims),尤其要避免针对容易受骗的群体(gullible),如老年人或儿童。在回答IELTS口语考试Part 3问题时,可以使用一些非正式的表达,例如“I'm no marketing expert”,这会使回答更自然。 回答IELTS口语考试Part 3问题时,需要运用多种词汇,包括正式和非正式词汇;可以使用个人例子,但要确保回答了问题;订阅IELTS Energy的YouTube频道,可以找到更多关于特定问题的词汇视频。
