Note to recorder:

Hello everyone. This is my first entry, and I want to help each other.

Would you make a mp3 file with natural speed??

Advertisements

There are many types of advertisements. They are sent to people through direct mail, broadcast on TV and radio, or printed in magazines and newspapers. Their purpose is to make the readers or listeners feel like buying a particular product. So marketing and research have become more and more important in order to make the product appeal to the prospective customers to the fullest extent. They have to decide which types of consumers are most likely to but the advertised product. They have lists of names that are chosen for their special characteristics, such as age or income, and direct mail which is often regarded as junk mail.
Some people argue that we don't need advertising because it costs consumers money. But it seems companies cannot stop advertising which there is competition among companies. The expense raises consumer price.

Hi Masa! It's Jade from Lang-8 :)
There were a few errors in this passage:
in the 6th sentence it says "but," so I said "buy" instead. Also, the second to last sentence, "But it seems companies cannot stop advertising which there is competition among companies," is a little strange. It might make more sense if "which" was "when," or "while." I'm guessing it must have been a typo.

Hi Jade! :)
I'm sorry that I made such mistakes ><

In the 6th sentence, your judgement was awesome!

As for the second to last sentence, you are also right. I found 'while' as you guessed.
