Original Answer: Professor in the lecture gave two examples about advertising strategies. The first example she gave is advertising with friendly attitudes. This is the advertising of a car. That car is not big and does not seem good, but it transforms something unimportant but positive. For example, imagine that a car goes to several stations. At each station, they will say some advertisement sentence. It somehow convinces people that their car is good and people are unaware. The second example is they will find some famous people to advertise their car. So people might think their car is good.

Corrected Answer: The professor in the lecture gave provided two examples about of advertising strategies. The first example she gave discussed is advertising with friendly attitudes repetition. This is the advertising of a car. That car is not big and does not seem good, but it transforms something unimportant but positive emphasizes a seemingly insignificant positive aspect. For example, imagine that a car goes to several stations. At each station, they will say some advertisement sentence(改为具体描述广告中的重复策略). It somehow convinces people that their car is good and people are unaware(改为描述重复策略如何影响人们的看法). The second example is they will find some famous people to advertise their car(改为描述名人代言策略). So people might think their car is good.

Revised Answer (140 words): The professor in the lecture provided two examples of advertising strategies. The first example discussed is the use of repetition in advertising a car. Although the car is not large, the advertisement emphasizes its spaciousness by repeatedly stating "plenty of room" for various passengers. This repetition strategy convinces viewers that the car is spacious, even if it may not be true. The second example involves using celebrity endorsements to promote a product, such as a car. By having a famous race car driver endorse the vehicle and claim it is fast, people are more likely to believe the car is impressive for its speed, even if it may not be accurate. These persuasive strategies demonstrate how advertisers can influence consumers' perceptions and encourage them to buy products based on subtle and sometimes misleading messages.

The speaker's delivery is generally clear and fluid, with a consistent pace and only occasional pauses. However, there are some instances where the speaker could improve their delivery by avoiding repetition of phrases like "over and over again" and "again and again."

5.Language Use

The professor speaks about persuasive strategies. Such strategies tend to be subtle and friendly in order to allow consumers to believe in them. Several ways and strategies are discussed. First is a repetition. The example he gives is a TV car commercial which repeats again and again over and over numerous times (replaced to avoid repetition) about how roomy its cars are, even if that is not true. The second example given is the celebrity example. We find celebrities and admire them, and we find them appealing. Thus we trust them more. Now the example given is a car racer who really likes his car fast. However, even if the car that he is promoting is a slow car with a poor performance rating, if he if he's driving it in the commercial, people would believe that the car is fast. Thus, because of these two reasons, persuasive strategies work upon unsuspecting consumers.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The professor discusses persuasive strategies in advertising, which are often subtle and friendly to make consumers believe in the product. Two main strategies are mentioned: repetition and celebrity endorsement. In the first example, a TV car commercial repeatedly emphasizes the spaciousness of its cars, even if it's not accurate. This repetition convinces viewers of the claim despite its falsehood. The second strategy involves using celebrities whom we admire and find appealing, leading us to trust their endorsements more. For instance, a race car driver may promote a slow car with poor performance; however, when they drive it in the commercial, people are more likely to believe it's fast due to their endorsement. These persuasive strategies effectively influence unsuspecting consumers by capitalizing on psychological tendencies.

Additionally, the speaker could include more specific examples from the lecture to further illustrate their points.

5.Language Use

Original Answer: There are two advertising strategies. First is repetition, which means repeat messages make people accept the message in the advertisement. For example, in a car advertisement, the same message is repeated again and again, stating that this car has plenty of room. After the advertisement, people are persuaded that this car is very spacious. Secondly, they use celebrities in advertisements because these famous people make customers believe that their product is trustworthy. For example, they use a well-known car driver in a car advertisement, and the car driver describes the car as fast as they can. After the advertisement, people are persuaded that the car is both spacious and fast.

Corrected Answer: There are twoseveral advertising strategies. First is repetition, which means repeatrepeated messages make people accept the message in the advertisement(change "repeat" to "repeated" for proper grammar). For example, in a car advertisement, the same message is repeated again and againmultiple times(use "multiple times" for a more natural-sounding phrase), stating that this car has plenty of room. After the advertisement, people are persuaded that this car is very spacious. SecondlyAnother strategy involves using celebrities in advertisements because these famous people make customers believe that their product is trustworthy(replace "Secondly" with "Another strategy involves using" for smoother transitions). For example, they use a well-known car driver in a car advertisement, and the car driver describes the car as fast as they canbeing fast(use "being fast" for proper grammar). After the advertisement, people are persuaded that the car is both spacious and fast.

Revised Answer (140 words): Several advertising strategies are employed to persuade consumers. One such strategy is repetition, where repeated messages in advertisements make people accept the message being presented. For instance, in a car commercial, the same message emphasizing the vehicle's spaciousness is repeated multiple times. As a result, viewers are convinced that the car is indeed spacious. Another strategy involves using celebrities in advertisements, as their fame and trustworthiness make customers believe in the product's reliability. A prime example is a car advertisement featuring a renowned race car driver who describes the vehicle as being fast. Consequently, people are persuaded that the car possesses both speed and ample space, showcasing how these persuasive strategies effectively influence consumer perceptions.

3.Delivery The speaker's delivery is generally clear and fluid, with a consistent pace and only occasional pauses. However, there are some minor issues with pronunciation and word choice that could be improved. For example, the term "chase strategy" should be replaced with "repetition strategy." Additionally, the speaker should work on pronouncing words like "roomie" (should be "roomy") and "pervasive" (should be "impressive"). To improve delivery, the speaker should practice speaking more slowly and clearly to ensure accurate pronunciation.

4.Topic Development The response is coherent and well-organized, with clear connections between ideas and sufficient support or examples from the lecture. However, there are some areas where the speaker could provide more specific details or clarify their explanation. For instance, when discussing the repetition strategy, it would be helpful to mention that the car commercial repeats the phrase "plenty of room" to create a sense of spaciousness. Additionally, when discussing celebrity endorsements, the speaker should emphasize that people trust celebrities because they admire them and find them appealing. To improve topic development, the speaker should focus on providing more specific examples from the lecture and making clear connections between these examples and the persuasive strategies being discussed.

5.Language Use

In the lecture, the professor described two advertising strategies that attract more people to buy the products and meet their needs perfectly. The first one is chase strategy repetition strategy (corrected for clarity and accuracy), which means by repeating exposure to people, let them convince that what they said is true. And the professor takes the car example. There is a roomie roomy (corrected for pronunciation) car that have shown to people over and over again, and it picked up people repeatedly and by seeing that plenty room of everyone. So even though this car looks small, but it is special. So when the exposure is often enough, it will be convincing too. The second one is use celebrities to advertise that make the product trustworthy, like a well-known driver drive an inexpensive car, but show that it is really pervasive impressive (corrected for word choice) for speed.

Revised Answer (140 words):

In the lecture, the professor discussed two persuasive advertising strategies. The first strategy is repetition, which involves exposing people to a message repeatedly until they believe it's true. The professor used a car commercial as an example, where a roomy car was shown picking up passengers multiple times while emphasizing its spaciousness. Although the car appears small, viewers are convinced of its roominess due to repeated exposure.

The second strategy involves using celebrities to endorse products, making them appear more trustworthy and appealing. For instance, a well-known race car driver might advertise an inexpensive car, claiming it's fast. Despite the car's actual performance, viewers are more likely to believe it's impressive for its speed because of the celebrity endorsement. These strategies demonstrate how advertisers effectively persuade consumers to buy their products.

In the lecture, the professor discussed two persuasive advertising strategies. The first one is the repetition strategy, which involves exposing people repeatedly to a message, making them more likely to believe it is true. The professor used a car commercial as an example, where a seemingly small car is shown multiple times with emphasis on its spaciousness, creating the impression that there's plenty of room for everyone. The second strategy involves using celebrities to make the product appear more trustworthy. For instance, featuring a well-known race car driver in a commercial for an inexpensive car can create the perception that the car is impressive for its speed when the driver endorses it as fast. By employing these strategies, advertisers can effectively persuade consumers to view their products more favorably and increase sales.

Original Answer: Repetition is a common advertising strategy that makes people believe that the products meet their needs perfectly, even if it is not. The first one is repetition. Research has shown that even the repeating content is meaningless, people tend to accept it. In one of the commercial films, there is a roomy car and the driver was picking up different people and keep repeating that there is plenty of room. Even though the car looks small, but it still gives people a sense that the car is special. If we repeat the slogan often enough, then it will be more convincing. And the second one is celebrity. People tend to believe famous people and admire their points and believe that it is trustworthy. For example, a famous person driving a car, even if it is not fast, but when he stated that it was fast, people tend to believe that it has the characteristics of being fast and higher performance rate, even if it is not.

Corrected Answer: Repetition is a common advertising strategy that makes people believe that products meet their needs perfectly, even if itthey do not.

In one of the commercial films, there iswas a roomy car and the driver waskept picking up different people(change "is" to "was" for consistency in tense, and "was" to "kept" for correct verb form) and keepkept repeating that there iswas plenty of room. Even though the car looks small, but it still gives people a sense that the car is special. If we repeat the slogan often enough, then it will be more convincing. AndAnother strategy(remove "but" for smoother sentence flow, change "And" to "Another" for better transition) is celebrity endorsement. People tend to believe famous people and admire their points(replace "points" with "opinions"), considering them trustworthy. For example, a famous person driving a car, even if it is not fast, but when he stated that it was fast, people tend to believe that it has the characteristics of being fast and highera high performance rate, even if it is not.

Even this car is slow, you will believe that this car is a good one.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The professor discussed two advertising strategies used to persuade consumers to make purchases. First, one strategy is through repeated exposure. For instance, an advertisement for a small car may repeatedly emphasize its spaciousness by stating there's plenty of room for friends and family. As a result of this repetition, people may become convinced that the car is larger than it appears and be more inclined to purchase it. The second strategy involves using celebrities in advertisements. Consumers tend to trust and admire famous individuals, making them more likely to believe the claims made in ads featuring these celebrities. For example, if a well-known race car driver endorses a car and claims it's fast, even if the car isn't particularly speedy, viewers may still be persuaded that the car is a high-performance vehicle due to the celebrity endorsement.

The persuasive strategies used in advertising include repetition and celebrity endorsement. In the example of the car commercial, the phrase "plenty of room" is repeated several times, which convinces people that the car is spacious even though it appears small. This shows that repetition can make people accept a message or see it in a positive light. Another strategy is using celebrities to promote products, as people tend to trust and admire them. For instance, a race car driver endorsing a car may lead people to believe it's fast, even if it's not a high-performance vehicle. These examples demonstrate how advertisers use persuasive strategies to influence consumers' perceptions and decisions.
