big fan of TV commercials as I could
spend hours in front the TV of my house
watching adverts of different products,

have access to the remote control until I
got bored.
G. As you know, Tet holiday is the

holiday with their families. The
advertisement I want to mention is so
emotional and meaningful.

time to watch TV adverts.

C. However, even if I have some free
time, anytime when I surf the internet, I
am immediately bombarded with a tons

drive me crazy. Therefore, I really detest
this type of videos now.
F. In the future, in my opinion, ads on TV
will be replaced completely with
commercials on other platforms such as
TikTok and Youtube with the development

younger in the past.

parents saw him moved me to tears
because I suddenly realized that my father

Chinsu sauce and watched fireworks
together and the joyfulness radiated in
their faces.
