Let's talk about advertisements
0:03
Are there many advertisements in your country? Undeniably yes, there are countless of them, especially if you're watching a TV program
0:12
that's really popular. Because there are so many ads, you're highly likely to lose interest in the program as
0:20
those ads unfortunately spoil your enthusiasm. Unfortunately, yes, so many of them that you can't even count
0:30
Not only in the traditional media, but even on the internet and in the streets
0:34
Well, that's not surprising since the advertising industry is giant. Almost all companies rely on ads to promote their products and services to people as that
0:45
method is the most effective revenue driver. How do you feel about advertisements
0:53
I think advertisements are too much these days. I mean, everywhere we go, we can see ads such as billboard ads, led advertisements, flyers
1:04
posters on the streets, and even online ads. It simply goes to show that the advertising industry is incredibly massive
1:13
Well, some ads are helpful, especially those informative ads or testimonial ads
1:19
They can help customers like me understand which product or service suits my needs
1:25
Although there are some ads that are deceptive, still, most advertisements are helpful to consumers
1:33
Do you like advertisements? Not at all. They're annoying, especially when they interrupt me from watching my favorite TV program or
1:43
when I watch videos on YouTube. But what can I do? It's just how TV networks generate income and I just have to deal with it
1:53
Generally, not, but some ads are very helpful. They inform or educate the public about a certain product or service that can help them
2:02
address their problems. Without ads, we wouldn't be informed about products or services, and TV networks and
2:09
content creators wouldn't prosper since the money they get from ads helps them sustain
2:15
their programs. What advertisements do you have in your country? I think all types of advertisements, from household products to personal ones, and different
2:27
kinds of services such as pest control, plumbing, and many more. Honestly, I don't pay much attention to ads that appear on TV because, like I said, I
2:37
find them annoying. Well, common ads such as beauty care products, fast food, or any product that consumers use
2:46
in their homes. Normally, I can see these ads on TV, billboards, and online
2:54
Ads are certainly a part of our everyday lives. You got a band of 6.5 again because when you took the IELTS speaking test, you couldn't
3:07
concentrate on expressing yourself naturally and conversationally. Or worse, you couldn't concentrate on thinking of ideas that you could use to answer the questions
3:22
Even though you prepared so much, you still got a band of 6.5
3:26
Well, a lot of my students had that same problem until they learned how to manage and deal
3:36
with that problem. I would love to invite you to my one-on-one coaching program
3:42
I would love to teach you the things that I taught to my students who finally achieved
3:47
their target band scores. And even some of them exceeded their target band scores
3:54
Some of them achieved 7.5 and even 8. I would love to help you improve your score
4:04
Join my one-on-one coaching program. Send me an email so that you would definitely know how I teach my students to finally get
4:15
their desired band scores. Send me an email now. Let's talk about singing
4:23
Do you often sing? Well, I sing occasionally. I sing with my friends at a karaoke bar, especially when we celebrate birthdays or something very special
4:36
It's fun singing with my friends because we can laugh at ourselves for singing badly
4:42
No, I don't. I rarely sing because I can't carry a tune
4:48
I only sing with my family because I feel comfortable with them
4:53
They don't judge me for singing poorly. Do you want to be a singer
4:57
Well, in the past, I dreamt of becoming a professional singer. I took voice lessons to improve the quality of my voice and to understand some breathing
5:07
techniques when singing. That was enjoyable. However, I realized that I didn't want to sing and make a living out of it, but I wanted
5:16
to sing simply because it's a hobby. No, I don't want to be a singer
5:21
I know myself very well. I just don't have a good singing voice at all
5:26
How I wish I had the talent. As I said, I only sing with my family because they are the only people I feel comfortable with
5:35
I don't know, I may become a singer in the next life
5:39
What kinds of music or songs do you like to sing? I can sing different music genres such as pop music, R&B, jazz, country, and many more
5:50
However, I'm more into singing pop songs simply because most of them are easy to sing and
5:57
the lyrics, especially my favorite pop songs, resonate with me. As I was born in the mid-90s, I sing songs that were once popular in that era
6:08
I enjoy singing songs from boy bands or those popularized by the legends Michael Jackson
6:15
Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and the like. Do you think singing can bring happiness to people
6:23
Yes, and that's irrefutable. It has been proven that singing can relieve one's stress or worries and it can also produce
6:31
happy hormones. Actually, there are many studies conducted about how singing improves the well-being
6:36
of a person and the results are incredibly positive. Yes, I believe so because that is one of the best ways to change one's mood from being
6:48
sad to feeling happy. However, if the person doesn't have a good voice or he has an irritating singing voice
6:57
I think the people who are listening to him won't be happy but annoyed
7:02
And I don't want people to feel that way so I avoid singing publicly
7:07
Is it difficult to sing well? Maybe for some, it's difficult but personally, I don't think so because as I said, I had
7:16
some voice lessons in the past that taught me how to properly sing so I could sing better
7:21
and protect my vocal cords. Once people know those important singing techniques, they will no longer have any difficulty in singing
7:31
As a person who is tone deaf, yes, it's incredibly difficult to sing well
7:37
I think singing well is a talent. It is innate. I mean, there are some people who are like me who can't sing well and they undergo some
7:46
training but their singing voice is not as good as those who are born with a gift of
7:51
singing voice. Let's talk about collecting things. Do you collect things? Kindly watch the video that appears on your screen right now so you can get plenty of
