Description
Presented by ⁠WRTR.org Part 1 Are you interested in watching TV advertisements or internet advertisements? Personally, I'm not really keen on watching advertisements, whether they're on TV or the internet. Nonetheless, I do occasionally come across ads that catch my eye and pique my interest. What kinds of advertisements do you dislike? I can't stand ads that are overly aggressive or intrusive, like pop-up ads or ads that play at full volume. Additionally, I find ads that are misleading or deceptive to be quite frustrating. Do you share advertisements with others? Occasionally, if I see an ad that I think a friend or family member might be interested in, I'll share it with them. Nonetheless, I generally don't go out of my way to actively share advertisements with others. Do you want to work in advertising in the future? While I appreciate the creativity and strategy involved in advertising, I don't think it's the right career path of me. Instead, I'm more interested in pursuing a career in education or research. What kinds of advertisements do you watch? I tend to gravitate towards ads that are funny or emotionally engaging. Moreover, I appreciate ads that are visually stunning or showcase a product in a unique way. Where can you see advertisements? You can see advertisements just about anywhere these days - on billboards, in magazines and newspapers, on TV and the internet, and even on the sides of buses and trains. Additionally, advertisements can be found on social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram. Have you ever bought something because of its advertisement? I can't say that I've ever purchased something solely because of an advertisement. However, I do think that ads can help raise awareness of a product or brand and influence my overall perception of it. Furthermore, ads can sometimes provide valuable information about a product that I wasn't previously aware of. Do you watch advertisements from the beginning to the end? Not usually - I tend to tune out ads and focus on something else until the show or video I'm watching comes back on. Nevertheless, if an ad is particularly engaging or entertaining, I might stick around to watch in the whole thing. Additionally, sometimes I'll watch an ad if I'm genuinely interested in the product being advertised. Part2  Describe an activity you usually do that wastes your time. You should say: what it is when you usually do it why you do it and explain why you think it wastes your time. One activity that I often find myself doing that wastes a lot of my time is scrolling through social media. Specifically, I'm talking about Instagram, which is a photo and video-sharing app that I use on a daily basis. I usually find myself scrolling through Instagram in the evenings, after I've finished all my work for the day and I'm looking for a way to unwind. I think I do it out of habit since it's become such a regular part of my routine. However, I think that scrolling through Instagram is a huge time-waster for me. Not only does it take up a lot of my free time, but it can also be incredibly distracting and keep me from being productive. Additionally, I often find myself comparing my life to the curated, filtered versions of other people's lives that I see on Instagram, which can be damaging to my self-esteem. Overall, I think that spending too much time in Instagram is a bad habit that I need to break. It's a prime example of "time flies when you're having fun," but it's important to remember that time is a precious resource that shouldn't be squandered on mindless scrolling. In the end, I think that finding more productive ways to spend my free time will ultimately make me feel more fulfilled and satisfied with my life. Part 3 How do you balance life and work? Will you continue doing something when you know it's a waste of time? What kinds of things make people feel pressured? Why do some people refuse to abide by rules?
