Speaking exercise

Think about a commercial or an ad that you felt was interesting. tell us about it.

The first ad I can remember maybe it is not very cool or anything else but it is really impressed me.
It is a sweater made of wool and the commercial is very short but they repeat the words again and again to make you remember it and it worked.

Honestly if I want to buy some wool productstion the first brand I can remember is that brand so at first it can attract me to go into the shop.
