📝 Trascrizione dialogo IELTS Speaking
Today I want to talk about how modern advertising borrows from older social behaviours. Brands often act in a territorial way, staking out niches and defending them vigorously. This territorial approach can be useful, but it can also alienate potential customers when it feels too exclusionary. Many campaigns adopt an avuncular tone, as if the brand is a kindly uncle giving friendly advice. That avuncular voice can reassure people and build trust, especially among older or more conservative audiences. Historically, a forerunner of digital targeted ads was the catalogue, which anticipated personalised offers. Another forerunner to platform-based marketing was the radio jingle, simple but memorable. Designers also make sure interactive adverts are truly operable, so users can click, swipe, and complete tasks easily. If elements are not operable across devices, a campaign will lose engagement quickly. Advertisers sometimes target devout fans, people so committed they will defend a product online. These devout followers can act like ambassadors and spread word-of-mouth for free. A recent campaign claimed a 40% sales increase, which was a headline figure but not the full story. In fact, the increase applied to one category only, and lasted just a fortnight. Some marketers behave territorially online, blocking reviews and controlling forums, which can backfire. An avuncular spokesperson may appear in adverts to soften complex messages and make them operable for viewers. Yet the most successful advertisers were often the forerunner companies that experimented early with data. Not every leader was devout about profit; some remained devout to social missions and values. One misleading claim suggested the campaign ran only once on television, but it actually had multiple airings. Understanding these terms helps consumers and students analyse adverts critically.
📝 📚 Domande pratica IELTS
1
Which medium is identified as a forerunner of digital targeted ads?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The passage states that 'a forerunner of digital targeted ads was the catalogue.' Television commercials, billboards and social media posts are not identified that way in the text; radio jingles are mentioned as another forerunner, but not the catalogue alternatives listed in B, C or D.
2
What percentage increase did the recent campaign claim?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
B
Spiegazione:
The text says the recent campaign 'claimed a 40% sales increase.' The other percentages are plausible distractors but do not match the passage.
3
Which tone do many campaigns adopt, according to the speaker?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
C
Spiegazione:
The speaker states that 'Many campaigns adopt an avuncular tone.' Aggressive, formal and sarcastic are not the tones described in the passage.
4
Why might advertisers use an avuncular voice, based on the passage?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The passage explains that an avuncular voice 'can reassure people and build trust.' The other options are not supported: the text does not link avuncular tone to cost, territorial expansion, or removing operable features.
5
In this passage, what does the word 'operable' most nearly mean?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The context discusses interactive adverts where users can 'click, swipe, and complete tasks,' so 'operable' means able to be used or operated. The alternatives (legally permitted, morally acceptable, decorative) do not fit that context.
6
What is implied about marketers who block reviews and control forums?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The passage directly notes that behaving territorially online, including blocking reviews and controlling forums, 'can backfire.' The other choices contradict this implication or are not mentioned.
7
Who are described as spreading word-of-mouth for free?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The text says 'These devout followers can act like ambassadors and spread word-of-mouth for free.' Territorial brands, forerunner companies and designers are mentioned in different contexts, but they are not described as spreading word-of-mouth for free.
