Because of the outdoor sunshine and the scene, it looks like the woman is on holiday.
Yes.
Sunshine and beaches make you thirsty. The juice looks refreshing.
The woman in this advertisement is wearing a green T-shirt and a yellow skirt. This is interesting because green and yellow are both very positive colours. Yellow represents warmth and wisdom and can also remind you of a warm, sunny day. Maybe she likes yellow because it is the colour of the sun. Her T-shirt is green. Green represents energy and nature.  Maybe the woman felt tired and decided to wear green because this colour can make her feel more energetic.
The woman’s hat has an orange flower on it. Orange is another warm colour. It also represents success and can cheer you up if you are feeling sad.
However, the woman in the picture does not look sad. I think she chose yellow and orange because they are warm, summer colours.
The woman’s shoes are blue. Blue represents trust and it can also make us feel calm. Maybe the woman is a bit stressed and that is why she is wearing blue.
I think this woman is cheerful and friendly. She prefers warm, energetic and calm colours to strong colours. I think she must be very happy because yellow can remind you of a warm, sunny day and green can give you lots of energy.
I like this advertisement because it makes me feel warm and reminds me of the summer holidays.

               fast, powerful.
The man looks very busy and he is running. He may be doing something important.
Yes.
Strong and powerful colours are used to give the feeling of success.
The man in the advertisement is wearing an orange T-shirt and blue  trousers. This is interesting because these two colours have different meanings. Orange represents success and can cheer you up if you are feeling sad about something. Blue represents sadness and calm. I think success is important to him, but he also looks like he needs to calm down.
His shoes are white, which represents calm and peace, but his glasses are black. Black represents power and passion. I think this man has trouble making decisions. He seems to be moving very fast and doing many things at the same time.
I  think this is a good advertisement, red is a good colour for the phone because red represents power and strength. People who enjoy being busy also like to feel strong and powerful. Strong colours are used to give the feeling of success.
