love to find different buttons because they have a wide range of shapes, designs,
and colors.

collecting expensive antiques, watches, jewelry, or even cars.

people are able to gather things that they love, they would feel extremely satisfied,
which helps them release stress and pressure at youwork or school.

Yes for sure, I always want to enrich my button collection. In the future, if I have a
chance, I will collect rare buttons from other countries.

These days there are so many of these commercials everywhere I click. I have seen
car commercials with some of those top brands like BMW, Mercedes Benz, and

commercials - McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut, you name it... they are
everywhere online and all around the cities on billboards and bus stops.

on the bus stops, while I wait for the bus or when I look at my mobile phone, I will
see some ads.
3. Do you watch advertisements from the beginning to the end?
Not if I have a choice. If it's on TV, I can't really skip it, and then I watch the
whole advertisement, or I look at my phone for a while. If it's something that
interests me, like an entertaining mobile game or a cool-looking product, then I'd
watch the whole piece.
4. Have you bought something because of its advertisement?
Yes, I’ve done that several times, but I don’t easily get convinced by the

believe is of high quality.

fashion.
