Imagine that a marketing company is conducting a research to collect opinions. You have agreed to join a telephone interview regarding advertisements.

Q: Have you ever seen advertisements before watching a movie through the Internet? A: Well, there are many promotional videos before and during the films online. They take me a few seconds to skip these videos. I find them quite annoyed.

Q: Have you bought any products after seeing those advertisements? A: Sometimes. Recently, I bought a skincare product after seeing an advertisement online. It claims that the item can improve fine lines and wrinkles, so I was persuaded to buy it.

Q: Which factor is most important to you when deciding to continue seeing an advertisement? Content, Music, Celebrities A: I believe that the most important factor to me when deciding to keep watching the advertisements is their content. It is crucial for the videos to deliver their clear messages and be relevant to my interests. I also pay attention to the quality of their content. I will find them so interesting and continue watching if they can educate or entertain me. If the videos only include famous people or beautiful music and without messages, I can feel bored.

Part 5 (60)

Topic: Supervisor

Q: Which of the following characteristics do you believe is the most important to a good supervisor? Having a lot of experience Having a sense of humor Being encouraging A: I think being encouraging is the most important feature of a good leader. To begin with, those who are encouraging others can motivate and inspire other members. This will create a positive and productive working environment. In addition, they also give their employees constructive advice to help them develop their abilities. Let's take me as an example. I have been working as a marketing analyst for over 2 years. I am working with my team leader named John. He always observes members of the team and encourages them. Especially when they make mistakes, he usually gives feedback and tells them to try more. This can boost the spirit of the team, and we all appreciate that.
