II. Sample Answers
- What kind of advertising do you like?
If you enjoy creative ads…
“Well, I really like creative and funny advertisements. You know, the ones that are entertaining and actually make you laugh or think. I also enjoy ads with a great storyline—something that grabs your attention and feels more like a short film than just an ad.”
If you prefer simple ads…
“I’d say I like straightforward ads, you know, the kind that gets straight to the point without being too flashy. Simple, clear messages are more effective for me, especially if they’re about products I’m interested in.” - Do you see a lot of advertising on trains or other transport?
If advertising is common on transport…
“Oh, definitely! There’s advertising everywhere—on trains, buses, and even at the stations. You can’t really avoid it, can you? It’s kind of interesting, though, because some of the ads are really colorful and eye-catching.”
If advertising isn’t common on transport…
“Not really. Where I live, you don’t see a lot of ads on trains or buses. I guess it’s not as popular here as in bigger cities. Most of the advertising happens online or on TV.” - Is there an advertisement that made an impression on you when you were a child?
If you remember a specific ad…
“Yeah, I still remember this one ad for a chocolate brand that used to play all the time. It had this catchy jingle that stuck in my head, and I’d hum it for days. It was so simple but really effective—I think I even begged my parents to buy that chocolate!”
If no specific ad stands out…
“Honestly, I can’t really remember any specific advertisements from my childhood. I mean, there were probably a lot of them, but nothing that left a strong impression. Maybe I just didn’t pay much attention to ads back then.” - Would you want to appear in an advertisement?
If you’d like to be in an ad…
“Yeah, why not? I think it could be fun and a bit of an adventure. It would be interesting to see how ads are made and maybe even have a chance to try something new. Plus, it’d be cool to see yourself on TV or online!”
If you wouldn’t want to be in an ad…
“Not really, to be honest. I’m not comfortable in front of the camera, and I’d probably feel super awkward. I think I’d rather just stay behind the scenes and let someone else take the spotlight.” - Do you often remember advertisements that you’ve seen?
If you tend to remember advertisements…
“Yeah, I actually do remember advertisements quite often, especially the ones that are creative or funny. I think it’s the way they tell a story or use humor that makes them stick in my mind. Sometimes, jingles or slogans can be really catchy, and I find myself humming them without even realizing it.”
If you don’t usually remember advertisements…
“Not really, I don’t tend to remember advertisements that much. I guess they just don’t make that much of an impression on me, or maybe I’m just not paying enough attention. Unless an ad is really out of the ordinary or directly related to something I’m interested in, it usually fades from memory pretty quickly.” - What do you usually do when an advertisement comes on TV or the internet?
If you tend to avoid advertisements…
“Whenever an ad pops up on TV or the internet, I usually take that as my cue to take a quick break. I might get up to stretch, grab a snack, or check on something around the house. On the internet, if I can skip the ad, I’ll do that immediately. Ads can be a bit intrusive, so I try to use that time productively instead.”
If you watch or interact with advertisements…
“Actually, I don’t mind watching ads on TV or the internet. Sometimes, they’re quite informative or entertaining. I’ve discovered some interesting products and shows through ads. If something catches my eye, I might even do a quick search to learn more about it. It’s a way to stay updated on new trends and products.” - Have you ever seen an advertisement that you really don’t like?
If you’ve encountered an unlikable advertisement…
“Oh, absolutely. There have been a few advertisements that I just couldn’t stand. One that comes to mind was overly repetitive and had an annoying jingle that stuck in your head for days. Not only was it interruptive, but it also felt a bit manipulative, trying too hard to push the product without providing any real value or information.”
If you generally don’t mind advertisements…
“I can’t really recall any advertisement that I’ve strongly disliked. Generally, I understand that ads are part of how businesses reach out to potential customers, and some can actually be quite informative or entertaining. Though, I do prefer ads that are creative and to the point over those that are just loud and flashy without much substance.” - Would you like to be in an advertisement one day?
If you’re interested in being in an advertisement…
“Yeah, I think it would be pretty cool to be in an advertisement one day. It sounds like a fun experience and a unique opportunity to see how marketing campaigns are put together behind the scenes. Plus, if it’s for a brand or a product that I really believe in, I’d definitely be excited to be a part of it.”
If you’re not interested in being in an advertisement…
“Actually, being in an advertisement isn’t really something I’m interested in. I prefer to keep a low profile and enjoy my privacy. Plus, the idea of being recognized by strangers isn’t very appealing to me. I’d rather support my favorite brands in other ways, like being a loyal customer or recommending their products to friends.”
