x.2 思路讲解 背景：共≤ 45 秒

开头 While cars and airplanes would appear as priority when it comes

to significant inventions, the level of influence that iPhone
presents to the world is specially unparalleled.
基本介绍
Being the flagship product of the international conglomerate,
iPhone became a giant hit the moment it was introduced.

功能 Technically, iPhone should be considered a disrupted version of

the traditional PHS (Personal Hand-phone System). Thus, it is
more like a secondary invention of the initial mobile phone.
x.2 思路讲解 扣题描述：≈ 35 秒

好处 1 The most disrupted feature would have to be the scrollable

screen, that dramatically alters the concept of user interaction.
好处 2
The chain effects that it brings to the entire ecosystem includes
unparalleled benefits.
It has not just become a new product, but a whole new industry
for app developers and programmers to freely upload their
innovations and showcase their creativity.
x.2 思路讲解 原因 / 感受： ≤ 60

年轻人 Conventional wisdom would consider youngsters to be the biggest
beneficiary. The innate tendency of young people which they desire
instant gratification of things is greatly satisfied by abundant options
of new apps and services.
iPhone also serves to be the ultimate platform for incessant innovations
and fun.
中年人 On top of this, the product is also middle-aged individuals friendly. As
such demographic group are mostly work oriented, the powerful job-
related tools such as multi-tasking feature allow them to be handling
various functions, thus boosting efficiency.
老年人 The elderlies are often troubled by small fonts which are unreadable to them.
The customizable nature of its software system enables the old demographics to
enlarge the fonts and lter the layout of the phone.
x.2 思路讲解 扣题描述：≈ 35 秒

改变 1 All in all, it is not only a product, but it marks a whole new era of
technology, in which different stakeholders’ dreams could all be
realized. The endless customizability of the device could help
build everybody’s widest dreams.
改变 2 In addition, the iPhone powers the development of the Next Big Thing, the
artificial intelligence. As iPhone has become an overly prevalent product, which
has become the best testing ground for any new ideas and concepts.

解 开头 I’ve been exposed to a large number of weird and enchanting
songs, but “Xiao San Lei” has to be the one amongst the most
memorized one.
背景 I was first introduced of the song after a friend of mine had broken up with his
girlfriend. Upon ending the relationship, he had realized that he had been
cheated on by his girlfriend for more than 2/3 of the relationship.

The melody coupled with the lyrics of the song stimulated his melancholy,
leaving an even larger chasm on his heart.

感官策略 For the reasons why I was gripped by it, first, the visual effects
（ Eye ） were remarkable, and the cartoon figures this company has
created were adorable, and I simply couldn’t handle their
cuteness and I genuinely hope that they can create more of these
loveable figures.

感官策略 Plus, the ad was just about our traditional festival and the core
（ Eye ） concept associated with the ad, which was togetherness, made it
all the more memorable.
感官策略 And this made me realize that on this day, we expected nothing
（ Mind ） but a reunion with family, which was exactly happening at that
moment.
