4. Do you believe advertisements can influence our shopping decisions? 

Absolutely, I firmly believe that advertisements can sway shopping decisions. Effective marketing and persuasive ads can increase product awareness and create a desire among consumers. People often end up buying items they saw advertised, even if they hadn't planned to. However, I advocate for making decisions based on rationality despite these influences.

5. Do you think advertising's impact is positive?

Advertising can exert both positive and negative influences. On the positive side, it informs people about new products and supports businesses. However, advertisements can also endorse unhealthy choices, propagate unrealistic body images, and promote excessive consumption. I believe advertising is acceptable as long as it remains transparent and avoids manipulation. Stringent regulations could help mitigate these issues. Balance is crucial.

6. How do people typically make important decisions?

People generally make significant decisions by gathering information to assess advantages and disadvantages. They seek advice from others but ultimately rely on their own judgment. Some deliberate extensively before deciding, while others act more impulsively. Decisions can be based on logical reasoning or emotional intuition. However, taking sufficient time and carefully evaluating all options is the wisest approach for major decisions.

Lexicon:

• make decisions: đưa ra quyết định
• gather information: thu thập thông tin
