Sample Answer 1
Well, I like to talk about a classic advertisement with a very famous celebrity, which is really popular and nostalgic. The famous person in the advertisement is Jay Chou.
He is an iconic singer and songwriter, and he is absolutely a household name across China. He has a gentle and elegant image that is deeply loved by people of all ages. I can see this advertisement in many places.
When I was younger, it was often played on TV. Now I can only occasionally see it on short video platforms and social media, but it no longer appears on outdoor billboards.
This is an advertisement for Yolome Instant Milk Tea. In the ad, Jae Cho appears in warm and romantic scenes, mainly on a public bus. The whole style is soft and sweet. It mainly highlights that love is as sweet as this milk tea, creating a warm and romantic vibe.
As for my feelings, I really like this advertisement. Firstly, Jae Cho’s temperament fits the milk tea brand perfectly. Besides, the picture style is warm and simple, not noisy or exaggerated at all. It brings back a lot of sweet childhood memories for me. It leaves a deep impression on me, and every time I go shopping in the supermarket, I feel like buying a pack to make at home.
