So, 12 years ago I was in the Philippines studying short course of NC2, it was hard for mw because my mother chose it for me, when I graduated I saw my parents are happy for the small achievement I had as I saw the happiness there, I pursue what they want for me. But then time flies I decided to work abroad and applied job which is far from my course, I got Kitchen's crew job in the Middle East under one of the good company here. I stayed and enjoy working and had many friends, I spoke to my parents and said that this is the work that I loved to do and happy to have. They do understand and they let me continue my present job, as now I'm happy because I got promotion. Anyway parents are happy too on the achievement that I got.
3 months ago, I started the gym when I was working at my project site. It's really impact on my physical health. Actually I was inspired by one of my friend to start some physical excursion and built muscles. The first week was very terrible due to the heavy body pain but after few days, I was really happy and excited to know that I reduced some weight and built my muscles. After 3 month in the gym, I went for medical check-up and very excited to know that my cholesterol is normal and I reduced 15 kg of weight. Now I'm really passionate and continuly doing exercise to maintain my body and health.
Last year summer, I had to finish taking all my prerequisite courses to apply into a nursing program. During this period, I also had a full time job and I closed work at 5pm. My classes was between 5:30pm and 9 pm every days of the week which was a great demand on my time. I also had to take one exam for each of the five classes I registered weekly. This was what I did back-to-back for the three summer months. Because of the time demanded to study, I had to wake up during the midnight for 4 hours every days of the week to study. This was difficult but the sacrifices paid off. At the end of the summer session, I had "A" in all the 5 courses I registered for and also gained admission into the nursing program seven months ago.
Hey Mark! Thank you so much for your tips, they are just crisp! So, long ago, when I was on compulsory service in the Soviet Army, I used to have the worst food ever. It was completely tasteless and kinda dirty. Anyway, that was my most frustrating experience with food! Have a nice day and take care!
Hi Mark, I think you may have a mistake in your grammar regarding your final conclusion as being an Early Bird and the slide before at 9:19 . You should've said "I liked staying up" because by using the present tense for "like", you're contradicting your final conclusion. Your work is amazing and a very good source. Thanks.
Recently about 2 weeks ago I went to Market Mall and try the newly open store. I saw the menu book and saw the pictures was nice and neath. Sadly when I got my order it was way far from the menu that I saw. I'd got small portion of pasta, soggy bread and col soup. When I start to ate them found that the pasta was chewy and the soup was salty. I approached the Supervisor there and share what I encountered and leave happy to that store. Anyway it was a new experience to me.
Since I was a kid I was really very fat till I was became a lady. The time I lose weight is when i work in Hong kong .

Hi Mark, Is this response good ? "During school and college days, I used to sleep very late at night because I had a habit of studying at the eleventh hour. Basically, I was a night owl. But when I got a job then I realized that I am having a hard time living a balanced life where I can pursue my hobbies along with work. So I decided to sleep early and wake up early in the morning. Since that day I feel now I am more positive towards life. And I also get enough time for the gym and my hobbies. Not only this, I also feel my efficiency towards my work has increased a lot. Thus I feel this change has played a big role in my life and I feel everyone should be an early bird."
So, a couple of months ago I walked into a Thai restaurant as I always love Thai food so I didn't worry about checking reviews because I felt all Thai food is nice, I got the menu and I ordered my usual and also ordered an extra plate for my husband, I got to work and I was happy I have a good lunch, with all this joy in my heart I sat to have my lunch and it was the worse I have ever tasted, I tried every thing in my work cafeteria to spice it but it was getting worse and I eventually packed it and trashed it, Anyways, now I check reviews without assumptions.
Three years ago, we went for a birthday dinner at a very renowned place. We were very excited about this and we reached the restaurant an hour early. Unfortunately, the table was not available even after the booking. We waited for another 2 hours for us to get inside. We looked for a waiter but could not find anyone. We waited for the next 10 minutes for a waiter to arrive. We order shwarma, chicken curry, Chapati and cold drinks. It took almost 20 minutes for the food to be served. The food was cold and pale. The food was half-cooked and it was bitter.
Honestly speaking Mark,when I first saw the question to describe personal experience on chenge in lifestyle and how it affected..I thought I have to tell on some sad or rather negetive experience of life..due to the the word 'affect'....but you have described a positive story..may be I was confused
A year ago, I made a Korean traditional food for thanksgiving. I was away from home, I missed the food that my mom used to make in the Korean thanksgiving. However, it was so hard to get the right ingredient from the small town where I lived at the moment. My cooking turned out to be so greasy and untasteful and it was totally different from what I meant. Anyway, it was the most disappointing food I've ever had.
Couple of years back when I was working in Sweden I went to a Swedish restaurant to eat fried fish where I expected in a Indian style of deep fried fish.server told me that they can serve smoked fish which can be similar with fried fish,but after it was served I realized it was not deep fried but only half cooked .it was really a miserable evening for me that I tried very hard to ate it.anyways, finally I managed to had three pieces of it and packed remaining in Togo box and gave it to homeless
Three years ago I went to a family restaurant which was stone throw distance from my place.We had heard alot about that restaurant but after being there I had a tribble food experience. Actually, I went there to celebrate my birthday party. Firstly, there was no proper ambience as we were waiting for waiters and manager to arrange some place for us to sit. Secondly, when we got place to sit and then we gave our order and it took almost 20-25 minutes for our food to be served. As, we went there for delicious food but it made us more angry because the food was not upto the restaurant standards and we all was so upset with quality of food as we was not expecting such food quality. Anyways , that was a really frustrating experience for me
Two years ago I went to Goa for a vacation. I tried out some local cuisines over there. One of them was a spicy chicken curry. It looked delicious when it was served and I never bothered to ask about the ingredients used. However, after having a little, my body started reacting. My lips and my chicks were swollen. Within a few minutes, I realized my nose was bleeding and my eyes started watering profoundly. I knew I was allergic to nuts but never bothered to find out if it was one of the ingredients used in the dish. After some time I was striving to breathe and I lost my senses. When I was back in my senses, I was in the hospital. It was one of the worst days of my life and one of the worst foods I had in my life.
Well its an interesting question so after my second baby i was suffering from postpartum depression i became overweight then i visit to my doctor he suggested me to do excercise or walk daily at least 30 mints then i started walk daily early morning that i never had done before its hard but it impact very positively on my health. I shred 10 pounds and become active and enjoy my new lifestyle
Hi Mark, I tried to buy your book today twice, but I couldn't. I filled out with all of my info, and pressed purchase, and then the website just sent me to the first page again. Can you help me on that? Thanks, Monica
So, on the last year in Canada I had a bad experience with a indian food, I went a restaurant to try that kind of food, but it was so terrible, everything was chilli and different to me. I hope that I never need to eat indian food anymore. hahaha
So, two years ago I went to the restaurant in Calgary. It is was Lobster restaurant. We ordered some mushrooms ( they looked so good on the pictures) and shrimps. That was a worse food I’ve ever eaten.
Hey, Mark. Sorry, that I write my question here, I would like to know about your book Speaking practice, do you have it now? How long I have to wait for delivery to Edmonton? Thanks!
A year ago I went to an Indian restaurant where I ordered crispy manchurians and crispy fries, I was served pretty quickly with my order. But as soon as I took a bite, I realized that the food tasted soggy and bland. The food being bland was not a big issue but the food being soggy definitely raised some questions in my mind, like when was this food even made? As it tasted like it was 3 days old, the owner didn’t respond in the nicest way but started yelling at me and said she will not change the menu for me. Anyway, I have never returned back to that restaurant as the worst food memory still haunts me to this day.
this part I feel is the toughest, because of only 30 sec preparation out of 30, 15 secs goes for read the questions, so finally you gets on 15 sec to prepare ans
Well, It's funny story and I am still remembered the test of the egg curry. Almost 10 years ago when I was in Delhi, doing my first job; I was sharing an apartment with my classmate Julfiure and we maintained a routine who will cook on which day. One day he surprised me by cooking egg curry with eggplant. I never ever saw that combination before. I still remember how my office colleagues were laughing when I opened my lunch box. Because the uncommon combination of egg curry, everyone wanted to test and it was terrible test. We still pulls his leg when we talks about those beautiful funny days.Anyway that was my worst food experiences which I can't forget.
It was last January when me and my friend dined in a restaurant that is known for the best chicken. We are very excited because its our first time to taste it after the long line outside the store. I was about to eat the chicken when I notice a small cockroach on my fried rice. I was really shocked and immediately call the attention of the manager. The manager was really sorry for the thing i notice, and he promise to make sure that they will serve a clean and fresh food.
So, few weeks back I visited my favorite Chinese restaurant, for my bad luck I have order my best noodle dish with spices, unfortunately, when I start eating I taste something different which makes me stop eating directly, then I asked the server to change my dish, they brought another one, but I couldn’t eat it again, after all, I came to know that they change the chef. Anyways, I am not going to eat again as it was my warst noodle dish I have ever eat.
So, Two years ago when I arrived in Canada everyone told me to taste the one of most famous restaurants in Toronto. One day I went there with my colleagues for the lunch break. I ordered one pizza margherita. When the weitress came with pizza I realized soon it was terrible, because looked not cook well. But unfortunately when I ate it the experience was very bad. Tomatoe sauce was raw, the mozzarella cheese tasted like a chewgum. Anyway, I never came back in this restaurant.
A couple of years ago, my husband and I went to a very famous restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. At first, I was so glad and I was eagerly waiting to have a great meal. We ordered their popular pizza. When our food arrived, it was really weird because it did not look like a fresh pizza, and its smell was a little bit odd. But I started to eat the pizza. It was awful and extremely salty, but I was really hungry and ate it all! After that, I had a bad stomachache and had to visit a doctor. Anyway, It was the worst pizza that I have ever eaten.
Many years ago when I was young, younger than now, one day my friend invited me to a restaurant just for breakfast. He said to me " The food in this restaurant is exclusive and there are a lot of fans for it". This food is very tonic, so that, after eating this food, you would not hungry up to afternoon. So the next morning we went to the restaurant and waited for an individual meal. In the restaurant, I smell a disgusting smell and after a moment, the food was ready. Guess, what was our meal? The head of lamb included the foot of it. The eyes of lamb are stared to me and I shocked by this happening. My friend emphasised eating the food but I couldn't. After some time and I was looking at my friend, I decided to try the cooked head's lamb and I put a bit of meat of head into my mouth and I founded that was delicious. Can you believe it? That was very delicious as I never had fonded this flavour. After that experience, I have encouraged many people to taste this meal.
As usual Mark a wonderful lesson...appreciated My Personal experience So, 4 years a ago back in College days we friends when to Restaurant in Survey-BC to taste nodles, I never tried nodels before we order some different kind of and I was shocked what should i order but I did as well by guessing, when it comes it was coocked in some sort of souse and a molluscs which i never tried before... with a great unwilling to taste I did taste a bite & left it that terrible taste leave mark on my tounge which truns black for 3 days... anyway that was my terrible food experience ever.
The worse food I have had was stinky tofu. It was in my high school and I was in Xi'an city in China, a city that is famous with stinky tofu. Since many friends recommended me to try it. I did it since I was also curous of how it tasted. Unfortuantely, that was a bad decision, the first bit made me feel I was eating something rot for a year, the smell was so strong that it made me want to cry. I haven't finished the first bit and actually I threw it out and washed my mouth with water. However, it turned out water didn't work. The smell was still strong that I had to wash my teeth. What made it worse was that I had to meet a friend just ten minutes later. I was not comfortable when I met him because of the smell. After that, I swared that I would never ever try stinky tofu again. Anyway, that's what the worst food I had in my life.
Mark, I will buy you a coffee because your videos have helped me so much. Why don't you give face-to-face classes? I'd be the first one to take your courses. I like your channel. Thank you for the great ideas you give.
Thanks very much Mark, this is amazing. keep your great work. Mark, should i include a prediction or something at the end to use future tense for example, to show the examiner that i can use different tense rather than just past tense. i am looking forward to your advice, thanks again So, 2 months ago my husband and i decided to try a new Thai restaurant here in Abu Dhabi where we live. we ordered a mango salad and some deep fried chicken, and oh boy when the the waitress brought our food over, we could actually smelled the chili from the salad without even tasting it, the salad was crazy spicy, it was so spicy that my tongue was burnt, then come the chicken, it looked crispy from the outside but it was under cooked from the inside, and as you all know, you cant eat raw chicken. it was the worst experience that we have ever had at any restaurant, anyway that was extremely disappointing Thai meal, well i hope we wont have to suffer any more bad meal like this in the future.
So, two years ago, I went to a buffet restaurant with who of my girlfriends to celebrate my 34th birthday. We had lots of food to eat and I love eating chicken wings a lot. In the finger-food session, I picked some grilled chicken wings for myself and my friends which we reserved to take after our main meal. After I tasted the chicken, the taste was awful and I silently concluded that it was because it was a grilled chicken and I ate two pieces. But when both of my friend tasted the chicken, they confirmed it tasted bad. one of my friend also ate the chicken while the second could not. At midnight, I woke up with a terrible stomach ache and nausea that made me vomit all through the night. I had to visit the hospital in the morning because of the terrible stomach ache and vomit. I was not surprised to get a call from my friend, who also ate the chicken, explaining how she was throwing up and was rushed to the ER at the middle of the night. Anyway, that was the last time I visited the restaurant.
In my life I have faced many bad experiences but if I had to pick just one thing to talk about however, it would be when I ate garlic bread in Thailand. It was happened back in the year. I was in Thailand and I order my favourite garlic bread. I was hoping it would be very delicious but when I had it was smelling very bad. They made it with fish oil and that oil was not fresh. Even I cancelled my other orders too and came out from there. Anyway this was bad experience happend with me. I hope I will not face this problem again.
So last week I went to a restaurant. I ordered different cuisines to try their menu and I think I did a big mistake. I ordered a lot of food without knowing that they add a lot of spice in their food. On top of that their wait time was so huge that each dish took 15 minutes to got on the table and I was starving to death. I even made a complain for such a long food delay, but I couldn’t get anything out of it. Anyhow, I have decided not to go there ever again or to advice anyone to go there and that was my worst food dining experience. Please advice if someone doesn’t complete the sentences and recorder goes off what will happen to the task ?
So,one month ago I ordered a traditional kerala food from a vegetarian restaurant for my breakfast.Already the food was delivered as too late.Also ,the food was cold and taste was not good at all.I felt as if they had delivered the old food.The smell of the chutney was the worst thing.Anyway,i raised my anger to the restaurant by a very good review against the restaurant so that others will get a good idea.
Well, two years ago my wife and I travelled to ISFAHAN, one of the most famous city of my country IRAN. One of the attractions of this city is its traditional foods. So, we decided to order something new and asked the waiter to bring us something by his own. After a while, he brought a plate of meal. We were so excited but we got shocked after the first try. It had a flavor of too much sweet and sour together and we couldn't continue any more. Anyway, that was the worst food we had even eaten.
Last year, I went to a very famous Italian restaurant in Brampton . I was really excited to try their food but had a really bad experience. I ordered zucchini fritters and veggie pasta. To my surprise, when the food arrived it was not very warm and the fritters were too oily and soggy, but as per the menu were supposed to be crunchy. The pasta was also bland and dry .Initially ,what I was super excited to eat ,I had to have half heartedly.I lost my taste and interest in Italian food after this horrible experience.
1 month ago, I took my friend to the restaurant for him birthday. We arrive at 6pm(the time of our reservation) and waiting to be seat. We stood for 20minutes before anyone came to greet us. We ordered medium-rare and sweet potato fries. The steak was extremely overcooked, and the fries were soggy. The wind that surver recommended to us tasted like cheap table wine. It was very disappointing my experience to the restaurant.
Last months, i went to Chinese restaurant with my husband in downtown where we usually go when we are craving for dimsums . We ordered lots of dim-sums and one noddle. Dim sums was so good like always but the problem was the noodle that i never tried before. First of all, it was very greasy and soggy.I had no idea how long they cooked that noodle. It was the beef noodle something but it literally has 2 pieces of the meat and rest of them was vegetables. On top of that, my husband found the bandaid in the noodle while his was eating it. I was so mad to see that, so when i almost to call the server to complain it my husband just stopped at me. He was saying it was not a big deal. We ended up to not leave any tips for them and just left. Anyway this was the my worst food experience.
I love your videos! But I still asking myself "why do I need to know more storytelling than english on CELPIP test?". It is really frustrating try to remember a story or create something from scratch to a non-english speaker...
so, 6 month ago i went to restaurant for dinner with my frend and we ordered one large chikan pizza for main course and for starter we ordered salad and soup. when starter came our table i saw salad was like sliminess and soup bread was totally melt into soup , so i didn’t tasted it and wish for good main course but unfortunately they spoiled ours mood that day because chikan pizza came with not fully cooked . anyway that was a really frustrating day for us because we planned dinner after long time but worst experience i ever had is that and i wish i never fill again
So, It was nearly three years ago, I went to a newly opened restaurant without checking for reviews. I looked at the menu and found that items were one of its kind. I ordered a dish called mountain delight because it had various ingredients and spices and food looked delicious too. But, once I put it in my mouth it was a disgusting feeling. I realized I was no way gonna finish it and wasted it. Anyways, this was the worst food I have ever eaten. ( *is this response ok, how much I might get for this one? thanks)
When I visited my partner's parents for the first time, they cooked chili for our dinner. At first, I was excited since I had never eaten chili before. However, after a few bites, I started really disliking it. I guess it's because I was not a big fan of tomatoes. What's more, I didn't like beans because they would make me gassy. I even felt nauseous after I ate some with rice. Although I hated the chili, I finished my plate out of politeness, You know, when you visit someone for the first time, it would be inappropriate to make comments on the food. Anyway, this is a really frustrating experience for me, and I will never get chili again.
So six years ago my husband's friend invited us for lunch and that time we were new in Canada so we were very much excited to meet him and taking dinner with them.we reached their home 1 hour early and our worst experience start from their .they didn't welcomed us nicely just did some formal talk.after that we went to dinnng room for dinner ,my husband and me both shocked when i saw on dinnng table they just made bread , mishal ( one of Indian dish) and Salad. Food was very spicy and tasteless, my son got very upset. We didnt ate much and came back with hungery stomach. Anyway that was very awful and disappointing experience we felt.
three years ago, i went out with my friends to eat lamb curry which was suggested by one of my college mate. But all my high hopes of having a great dinner turned into a worst nightmare.Firstly, restaurant looked pale and so was their service but we decide to sit as you cant judge the book by its cover. as soon as we were served our dinner we just attacked the food as we were really hungry. the meat was raw,i chewed it for few mins before i threw up in my plate. the curry was literally made of chilli powder. Everybody including me started having stomach ache soon after we left the restaurant. anyways, that was one of my worst food experience till now.
You said you broke your arm and laughed. And now you are saying how to express the feelings when we speak. You contradicted but I think you found it amusing the fact that you could make up that sentence.
Three years ago, i went to chinese restaurant in honkong since im a big fan of their foods. I checked the menu and ordered the food that im craving of including there special soup that day. I really don’t have any idea whats the soup was made of. So, they served the food, i enjoyed it so much and i finish all of them, until i found out that the soup was made of turtles. I felt so sad and mad becaused i doesnt had any food like that in my intire life. It seems liked i had a butterfly in my stomach and i wanted to throw up. Anyway, that was one my unforgetable experinced in my life
It was 6years ago when I went to Taipei, the capital of Taiwan and I tasted my worst food, stinky tofu, for the first time. At that time, I was into Taiwanese movies and eager to experience their cultures like what they have, wear, and do during free times. So, I went to one of the famous night markets and arrived at the street stall and realized it was a bad choice. Due to its bad odours, I was hesitant to try at first but I gave it a shot and bit one bite. However, right after I threw it up and its bad smell didn't go away after rinsing my mouth with water a few times. Anyway, this is my experience with the worst food ever and I've not tried it after.
So, last month i went to a new chiniese restaurant named green dragon in toronto downtown and it was probably the worst food i ever ate. I still remember, i ordered some hakka noodles that day and i was expecting it to be an authentic and tasty chiniese food. But unfortunately, when i tasted it, it happened to be one of the worst hakka noodles of my life. It was undercooked, it missed most of the spices even though we specifically asked the server to inform chef that we wanted the spicy food. The vegitables used in hakka noodles were poorly chopped and stale. I would never forget this experience and would never go to that restaurant.
So, last year my sister and I went to a new restaurant to tried new dishes they had. My sister ordered a chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella cheese and white sauce. It was the worst dish I have ever eaten in my life, it was smell bad and the chicken was not cooked well, which let me felt so disgusted and had an awful experience. Anyway, I will think twice before going to this restaurant again. ( is it correct) another thing ( how to add emotion - feeling to our talk)
Yesterday, I was dining in a korean restaurant at Bathurst St. with my friend Anna. We ordered their famous chili chicken and fries for $50 which is good for two. When the chicken was served, I noticed that it was totally different from the picture and the taste was really bad! The chicken was uncooked and too spicy to eat. That was the wost food I've ate and I was not so hapoy about it.

Hi Mark. Does your book have a compilation of all the four parts of the exam? I feel it will be more beneficial to have one book for the 4 parts that comprise the exam. Thanks!
Hi! :) Unfortunately, it's just for the speaking part. But lots of people have asked me to do a writing book too, so now I'm working on that. Maybe after I make books for all the parts, I can put them together into one book!
Awesome Mark, Actually in Mexican Spanish We use past tense verbs a lot. Cheers my man. I am taking all your video courses for the Celpip Test for my PR.
Another brilliant lesson, as like all of them!! Thank you. I'm trying to improve my speaking skills for an important job interview. I'm from Italy and I'll move abroad for work (in Europe for the moment). I wonder if your book could help me to achieve the goal. What do you think about that? Thank you so much and keep it up!!
Good luck to you, watch more business English for communication it will increase your vocab, different topics but stay in business English it will change your life. Watch more job interview and listen carefully to the answers.
Luigi, thanks for liking my videos! I'm not sure if my book could help you. You could probably learn lots of vocabulary, but I wrote it specifically for people who are taking the CELPIP exam.
Few month ago i went to a restaurant near kolil bridge named king' s food with my friend. It was very bad experience for me because i was very excited with the location of restaurant but when we ordered some sea food that is very worst in taste it was not actually sea food it was like a street food there is no different quality as name mentioned in menu. So i was very disappointed with it.
10 years ago when I was in India I went to an Indian restaurant where was served spicy food. I have ordered vegetarian soap and I find it difficult to eat because it was so spicy and didn’t have any nutritional value it contained just some vegetables and a lot of spicy water. It’s awful.anyway. I think that soap was the bad food I have ever eaten.
Really frustrated when I am retaking the test because I got an 8 for speaking... I have always been fluent in English and people are always surprised to learn I am not a Canadian. CELPIP completely crushes my confidence and made me insecure about my speaking. I am giving your videos a shot, Mark! Thank you for your effort!
Three years ago, When i'd eaten ceviche in Chile. One of my friend is from Chile. He invited me his house. Then i visited his country. Actually I'm from Korean. So i ve never been this country. Also i don't know any South America culture. I was very nervous. Finally i ve got the Chile airport. Then My friend brought me street food market near his house. I looked around that market and compared with my country market. Suddenly he suggested one of the typically food for me. It is called ceviche. Ceviche is made with sliced seafood with lemon and onions. The taste was very sour and salty for me. I coundn't eat very well. He looked me and laughed a lot. anyway, That food was one of the worst food in my life.
Not a true Story: '8 months ago i ate 1 of the most awful African food ever in New York City. I travelled to NYC for a business trip for 1 month. After my first week in NYC, i was very desperate for African food so i began to search. Fortunately i found somewhere in Brooklyn to buy African dishes that killed my hunger for days. After i tested the food it was so bad that i became very scared of eating foreign made African dishes till date especially in the states. That was just my little ordeal with African food in NYC.'
5 years ago I was envited by a friend on her post birthday party .She offers me a macaroons which sh gladly said She made it herself. So I tried it but I don't know that all of the macaroons I have eaten that was tastes different! The taste was like Sour or bitter. But I eat the whole piece. I can't tell her it is bad because It's her who effortly made it! That was the worst food I have eaten!

In my last vacations two year ago, I was in a very expensive restaurant and I ordered a sandwich of chicken, everything it is ok, I ate all my food and I went my room, after two hours, I don´t felt very well, I ran away very fast to the bathroom, In the bathroom I couldn't open the botton , I jumped and moved all the time, after a minute (the minute more longer of my life 😱😱) I finally could open the botton, I was afraid, but my torture has finished, the rest of the history is not important. This is the sandwinch the most dangerous in my life. End.😯 😵 😏 Teacher, you've had a dangerous food that send you to the bathroom quickly, can you say the name of food? 😯 😏 It's ok those things happen sometimes 😏😏 I think so. Bye bye amigo, I see you in the next video.

2 years ago I went to my favourite Chinese restaurant with my best friend usually we ordered a regular bowl noddles soup each so I tried spicy flavour, I thought I'd carried the chilli of the soup, i was wrong I can't finished it all,the moment I swallowed it feels like has fires on my throat,I was so disappointed to my ordered,anyway not bad tries things lesson learn, which good or not...
So, 2 months ago i decided to try a new recipe i found online but it turned out to be the worst food i have had. I went to market in person to purchase all the ingredients needed to prepare the meal. Carefully following the instructions i prepared a completely tasteless and not so nice meal. I felt bad because i spent time and money in preparing the dish. Anyway, that was the worst meal i have had .
Last month i visit a new resturant here in mississuaga for hyderbadi biryani. This resturant was very famous for its speciality in biryani but when i was looking forward for biryani it was like soo spicy meat is smelly and i realized that i just waste my money. Later on i had stomach pain and i went to hospital. Anyways that was worst food experience for me .
When i was in hong kong i had a beach party with my friends, we have different foods and drinks there, and one of my close friend gave me a chicken feet i never tried to eat chicken feet in my entire life, and i think that is the worst food i ever eaten, when i ate that it seems like im bitting a finger of a new born baby, i almost vomit and i cant swallow that food anymore. although i really love chicken but never chicken fee. From then on everytime i saw a person eating the feet of a chicken i cant picture out my face looking at them.
Once I was eating food at one of my relatives' house. I was enjoying the food then I was served something like with salty and chilli. I think that item was an expired date. No sooner I ate that, it smelled bad. The taste on my tongue got worsed. Then I asked to a person who was sitting beside me. He tasted the item and he was like, It's ok, it is not bad. I didn't say anything. After the party he was like, that was bad but I don't want to hurt the person who threw the party.
May you share your CELPIP score what you got as latest one? Do you keep giving the exam on regular basis just like other English teachers do to stay fine tuned with their teaching skills.?

So, 12 years ago I was in the Philippines studying short course of NC2, it was hard for mw because my mother chose it for me, when I graduated I saw my parents are happy for the small achievement I had as I saw the happiness there, I pursue what they want for me. But then time flies I decided to work abroad and applied job which is far from my course, I got Kitchen's crew job in the Middle East under one of the good company here. I stayed and enjoy working and had many friends, I spoke to my parents and said that this is the work that I loved to do and happy to have. They do understand and they let me continue my present job, as now I'm happy because I got promotion. Anyway parents are happy too on the achievement that I got.

3 months ago, I started the gym when I was working at my project site. It's really impact on my physical health. Actually I was inspired by one of my friend to start some physical excursion and built muscles. The first week was very terrible due to the heavy body pain but after few days, I was really happy and excited to know that I reduced some weight and built my muscles. After 3 month in the gym, I went for medical check-up and very excited to know that my cholesterol is normal and I reduced 15 kg of weight. Now I'm really passionate and continuly doing exercise to maintain my body and health.
Awesome! 😃
Last year summer, I had to finish taking all my prerequisite courses to apply into a nursing program.
During this period, I also had a full time job and I closed work at 5pm. My classes was between 5:30pm and 9 pm every days of the week which was a great demand on my time. I also had to take one exam for each of the five classes I registered weekly. This was what I did back-to-back for the three summer months. Because of the time demanded to study, I had to wake up during the midnight for 4 hours every days of the week to study. This was difficult but the sacrifices paid off.
At the end of the summer session, I had "A" in all the 5 courses I registered for and also gained admission into the nursing program seven months ago.
I think you'll get a great score! 😃
Hey Mark! Thank you so much for your tips, they are just crisp! So, long ago, when I was on compulsory service in the Soviet Army, I used to have the worst food ever. It was completely tasteless and kinda dirty. Anyway, that was my most frustrating experience with food! Have a nice day and take care!
Hi Mark,
I think you may have a mistake in your grammar regarding your final conclusion as being an Early Bird and the slide before at 9:19 . You should've said "I liked staying up" because by using the present tense for "like", you're contradicting your final conclusion.
Your work is amazing and a very good source. Thanks.
Recently about 2 weeks ago I went to Market Mall and try the newly open store. I saw the menu book and saw the pictures was nice and neath. Sadly when I got my order it was way far from the menu that I saw. I'd got small portion of pasta, soggy bread and col soup. When I start to ate them found that the pasta was chewy and the soup was salty. I approached the Supervisor there and share what I encountered and leave happy to that store. Anyway it was a new experience to me.
The way you do ooooooooooo in starting is iconic....:)
Since I was a kid I was really very fat till I was became a lady. The time I lose weight is when i work in Hong kong .

Hi Mark, Is this response good ?
"During school and college days, I used to sleep very late at night because I had a habit of studying at the eleventh hour. Basically, I was a night owl. But when I got a job then I realized that I am having a hard time living a balanced life where I can pursue my hobbies along with work. So I decided to sleep early and wake up early in the morning. Since that day I feel now I am more positive towards life. And I also get enough time for the gym and my hobbies. Not only this, I also feel my efficiency towards my work has increased a lot. Thus I feel this change has played a big role in my life and I feel everyone should be an early bird."
Great job! 😃😃
So, a couple of months ago I walked into a Thai restaurant as I always love Thai food so I didn't worry about checking reviews because I felt all Thai food is nice, I got the menu and I ordered my usual and also ordered an extra plate for my husband, I got to work and I was happy I have a good lunch, with all this joy in my heart I sat to have my lunch and it was the worse I have ever tasted, I tried every thing in my work cafeteria to spice it but it was getting worse and I eventually packed it and trashed it, Anyways, now I check reviews without assumptions.
you are doing a great job, mark by making impressive celpip videos.
Three years ago, we went for a birthday dinner at a very renowned place. We were very excited about this and we reached the restaurant an hour early. Unfortunately, the table was not available even after the booking. We waited for another 2 hours for us to get inside. We looked for a waiter but could not find anyone. We waited for the next 10 minutes for a waiter to arrive. We order shwarma, chicken curry, Chapati and cold drinks. It took almost 20 minutes for the food to be served. The food was cold and pale. The food was half-cooked and it was bitter.
Honestly speaking Mark,when I first saw the question to describe personal experience on chenge in lifestyle and how it affected..I thought I have to tell on some sad or rather negetive experience of life..due to the the word 'affect'....but you have described a positive story..may be I was confused
I love all your classes.
It's amazing video! Thank you so much for the lessons! I will download your pdf file as well.
😃😃
you are doing a great job..thank you so much
Thanks Mark amazing, love it I wish if I can watch the rest videos before my exam, very useful really.
Thanks so much! 😃
No, you thank you.
A year ago, I made a Korean traditional food for thanksgiving. I was away from home, I missed the food that my mom used to make in the Korean thanksgiving. However, it was so hard to get the right ingredient from the small town where I lived at the moment. My cooking turned out to be so greasy and untasteful and it was totally different from what I meant. Anyway, it was the most disappointing food I've ever had.
Very helpful video.
Couple of years back when I was working in Sweden I went to a Swedish restaurant to eat fried fish where I expected in a Indian style of deep fried fish.server told me that they can serve smoked fish which can be similar with fried fish,but after it was served I realized it was not deep fried but only half cooked .it was really a miserable evening for me that I tried very hard to ate it.anyways, finally I managed to had three pieces of it and packed remaining in Togo box and gave it to homeless
😃😃
Three years ago I went to a family restaurant which was stone throw distance from my place.We had heard alot about that restaurant but after being there I had a tribble food experience. Actually, I went there to celebrate my birthday party. Firstly, there was no proper ambience as we were waiting for waiters and manager to arrange some place for us to sit. Secondly, when we got place to sit and then we gave our order and it took almost 20-25 minutes for our food to be served. As, we went there for delicious food but it made us more angry because the food was not upto the restaurant standards and we all was so upset with quality of food as we was not expecting such food quality. Anyways , that was a really frustrating experience for me
Thank you so much.
Two years ago I went to Goa for a vacation. I tried out some local cuisines over there.
One of them was a spicy chicken curry. It looked delicious when it was served and I never bothered to ask about the ingredients used. However, after having a little, my body started reacting. My lips and my chicks were swollen. Within a few minutes, I realized my nose was bleeding and my eyes started watering profoundly.
I knew I was allergic to nuts but never bothered to find out if it was one of the ingredients used in the dish. After some time I was striving to breathe and I lost my senses. When I was back in my senses, I was in the hospital. It was one of the worst days of my life and one of the worst foods I had in my life.
Well its an interesting question so after my second baby i was suffering from postpartum depression i became overweight then i visit to my doctor he suggested me to do excercise or walk daily at least 30 mints then i started walk daily early morning that i never had done before its hard but it impact very positively on my health. I shred 10 pounds and become active and enjoy my new lifestyle
Hi Mark, I tried to buy your book today twice, but I couldn't. I filled out with all of my info, and pressed purchase, and then the website just sent me to the first page again. Can you help me on that? Thanks, Monica
Mad English TV I Just sent it.
So, on the last year in Canada I had a bad experience with a indian food, I went a restaurant to try that kind of food, but it was so terrible, everything was chilli and different to me.
I hope that I never need to eat indian food anymore. hahaha
So, two years ago I went to the restaurant in Calgary. It is was Lobster restaurant. We ordered some mushrooms ( they looked so good on the pictures) and shrimps. That was a worse food I’ve ever eaten.
Hey, Mark. Sorry, that I write my question here, I would like to know about your book Speaking practice, do you have it now? How long I have to wait for delivery to Edmonton? Thanks!
Hi 👋 my books are just PDF files that can be downloaded on my website. Thanks!
@ thanks for the answer!
A year ago I went to an Indian restaurant where I ordered crispy manchurians and crispy fries, I was served pretty quickly with my order. But as soon as I took a bite, I realized that the food tasted soggy and bland. The food being bland was not a big issue but the food being soggy definitely raised some questions in my mind, like when was this food even made? As it tasted like it was 3 days old, the owner didn’t respond in the nicest way but started yelling at me and said she will not change the menu for me. Anyway, I have never returned back to that restaurant as the worst food memory still haunts me to this day.
this part I feel is the toughest, because of only 30 sec preparation out of 30, 15 secs goes for read the questions, so finally you gets on 15 sec to prepare ans
Well, It's funny story and I am still remembered the test of the egg curry. Almost 10 years ago when I was in Delhi, doing my first job; I was sharing an apartment with my classmate Julfiure and we maintained a routine who will cook on which day. One day he surprised me by cooking egg curry with eggplant. I never ever saw that combination before. I still remember how my office colleagues were laughing when I opened my lunch box. Because the uncommon combination of egg curry, everyone wanted to test and it was terrible test. We still pulls his leg when we talks about those beautiful funny days.Anyway that was my worst food experiences which I can't forget.
Great! 😃😃
I loved your story. . Mark! !! ❤ Lovely tips too. 😊😍
Thanks so much! 😃😃
It was last January when me and my friend dined in a restaurant that is known for the best chicken. We are very excited because its our first time to taste it after the long line outside the store. I was about to eat the chicken when I notice a small cockroach on my fried rice. I was really shocked and immediately call the attention of the manager. The manager was really sorry for the thing i notice, and he promise to make sure that they will serve a clean and fresh food.
So, few weeks back I visited my favorite Chinese restaurant, for my bad luck I have order my best noodle dish with spices, unfortunately, when I start eating I taste something different which makes me stop eating directly, then I asked the server to change my dish, they brought another one, but I couldn’t eat it again, after all, I came to know that they change the chef. Anyways, I am not going to eat again as it was my warst noodle dish I have ever eat.
Great job! 😃😃
So, Two years ago when I arrived in Canada everyone told me to taste the one of most famous restaurants in Toronto. One day I went there with my colleagues for the lunch break. I ordered one pizza margherita. When the weitress came with pizza I realized soon it was terrible, because looked not cook well. But unfortunately when I ate it the experience was very bad. Tomatoe sauce was raw, the mozzarella cheese tasted like a chewgum. Anyway, I never came back in this restaurant.
A couple of years ago, my husband and I went to a very famous restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. At first, I was so glad and I was eagerly waiting to have a great meal. We ordered their popular pizza. When our food arrived, it was really weird because it did not look like a fresh pizza, and its smell was a little bit odd. But I started to eat the pizza. It was awful and extremely salty, but I was really hungry and ate it all! After that, I had a bad stomachache and had to visit a doctor. Anyway, It was the worst pizza that I have ever eaten.
Many years ago when I was young, younger than now, one day my friend invited me to a restaurant just for breakfast. He said to me " The food in this restaurant is exclusive and there are a lot of fans for it". This food is very tonic, so that, after eating this food, you would not hungry up to afternoon. So the next morning we went to the restaurant and waited for an individual meal.
In the restaurant, I smell a disgusting smell and after a moment, the food was ready. Guess, what was our meal? The head of lamb included the foot of it. The eyes of lamb are stared to me and I shocked by this happening. My friend emphasised eating the food but I couldn't. After some time and I was looking at my friend, I decided to try the cooked head's lamb and I put a bit of meat of head into my mouth and I founded that was delicious. Can you believe it? That was very delicious as I never had fonded this flavour. After that experience, I have encouraged many people to taste this meal.
As usual Mark a wonderful lesson...appreciated
My Personal experience
So, 4 years a ago back in College days we friends when to Restaurant in Survey-BC to taste nodles, I never tried nodels before we order some different kind of and I was shocked what should i order but I did as well by guessing, when it comes it was coocked in some sort of souse and a molluscs which i never tried before... with a great unwilling to taste I did taste a bite & left it that terrible taste leave mark on my tounge which truns black for 3 days... anyway that was my terrible food experience ever.
😃😃Great job!
The worse food I have had was stinky tofu. It was in my high school and I was in Xi'an city in China, a city that is famous with stinky tofu. Since many friends recommended me to try it. I did it since I was also curous of how it tasted. Unfortuantely, that was a bad decision, the first bit made me feel I was eating something rot for a year, the smell was so strong that it made me want to cry. I haven't finished the first bit and actually I threw it out and washed my mouth with water. However, it turned out water didn't work. The smell was still strong that I had to wash my teeth. What made it worse was that I had to meet a friend just ten minutes later. I was not comfortable when I met him because of the smell. After that, I swared that I would never ever try stinky tofu again. Anyway, that's what the worst food I had in my life.
Great job! 😃😃
Same as my experience of eating songhuadan 🤢
Thanks for sharing a topic. Mine is also stinky tofu but did not what to say. Thumbs up!
Mark please give me more details about reading.
Mark, I will buy you a coffee because your videos have helped me so much. Why don't you give face-to-face classes? I'd be the first one to take your courses. I like your channel. Thank you for the great ideas you give.
Thank you so much! 😃😃Right now I'm on vacation in Thailand!
Thanks very much Mark, this is amazing. keep your great work. Mark, should i include a prediction or something at the end to use future tense for example, to show the examiner that i can use different tense rather than just past tense. i am looking forward to your advice, thanks again
So, 2 months ago my husband and i decided to try a new Thai restaurant here in Abu Dhabi where we live. we ordered a mango salad and some deep fried chicken, and oh boy when the the waitress brought our food over, we could actually smelled the chili from the salad without even tasting it, the salad was crazy spicy, it was so spicy that my tongue was burnt, then come the chicken, it looked crispy from the outside but it was under cooked from the inside, and as you all know, you cant eat raw chicken. it was the worst experience that we have ever had at any restaurant, anyway that was extremely disappointing Thai meal, well i hope we wont have to suffer any more bad meal like this in the future.
Great job! 😃😃Yes, I think your idea is good.
So, two years ago, I went to a buffet restaurant with who of my girlfriends to celebrate my 34th birthday.
We had lots of food to eat and I love eating chicken wings a lot. In the finger-food session, I picked some grilled chicken wings for myself and my friends which we reserved to take after our main meal. After I tasted the chicken, the taste was awful and I silently concluded that it was because it was a grilled chicken and I ate two pieces. But when both of my friend tasted the chicken, they confirmed it tasted bad. one of my friend also ate the chicken while the second could not. At midnight, I woke up with a terrible stomach ache and nausea that made me vomit all through the night. I had to visit the hospital in the morning because of the terrible stomach ache and vomit. I was not surprised to get a call from my friend, who also ate the chicken, explaining how she was throwing up and was rushed to the ER at the middle of the night.
Anyway, that was the last time I visited the restaurant.
Great job! 😃😃
In my life I have faced many bad experiences but if I had to pick just one thing to talk about however, it would be when I ate garlic bread in Thailand. It was happened back in the year. I was in Thailand and I order my favourite garlic bread. I was hoping it would be very delicious but when I had it was smelling very bad. They made it with fish oil and that oil was not fresh. Even I cancelled my other orders too and came out from there. Anyway this was bad experience happend with me. I hope I will not face this problem again.
Please let me know my mistakes.
Great job! 😃😃I hope you get better garlic bread next time!
So last week I went to a restaurant. I ordered different cuisines to try their menu and I think I did a big mistake. I ordered a lot of food without knowing that they add a lot of spice in their food. On top of that their wait time was so huge that each dish took 15 minutes to got on the table and I was starving to death. I even made a complain for such a long food delay, but I couldn’t get anything out of it. Anyhow, I have decided not to go there ever again or to advice anyone to go there and that was my worst food dining experience.
Please advice if someone doesn’t complete the sentences and recorder goes off what will happen to the task ?
Great job! If you talk to the end and get cut off, it's okay. But try to end your talking a few seconds before the timer stops.
I was have questions you said i don't understand i want video like this one
So,one month ago I ordered a traditional kerala food from a vegetarian restaurant for my breakfast.Already the food was delivered as too late.Also ,the food was cold and taste was not good at all.I felt as if they had delivered the old food.The smell of the chutney was the worst thing.Anyway,i raised my anger to the restaurant by a very good review against the restaurant so that others will get a good idea.
That's great! 😃
Hi mark
I have some question
I dont know how would i begin it my email about children,s charity
Maybe you could say, "Dear Charity Staff,"
Well, two years ago my wife and I travelled to ISFAHAN, one of the most famous city of my country IRAN. One of the attractions of this city is its traditional foods. So, we decided to order something new and asked the waiter to bring us something by his own. After a while, he brought a plate of meal. We were so excited but we got shocked after the first try. It had a flavor of too much sweet and sour together and we couldn't continue any more. Anyway, that was the worst food we had even eaten.
When taking the speaking portion of CELPIP, do you hear the other test-takers responses? Or are you in a private space?
Last year, I went to a very famous Italian restaurant in Brampton . I was really excited to try their food but had a really bad experience. I ordered zucchini fritters and veggie pasta. To my surprise, when the food arrived it was not very warm and the fritters were too oily and soggy, but as per the menu were supposed to be crunchy. The pasta was also bland and dry .Initially ,what I was super excited to eat ,I had to have half heartedly.I lost my taste and interest in Italian food after this horrible experience.
1 month ago, I took my friend to the restaurant for him birthday.
We arrive at 6pm(the time of our reservation) and waiting to be seat.
We stood for 20minutes before anyone came to greet us.
We ordered medium-rare and sweet potato fries.
The steak was extremely overcooked, and the fries were soggy. The wind that surver recommended to us tasted like cheap table wine.
It was very disappointing my experience to the restaurant.
Last months, i went to Chinese restaurant with my husband in downtown where we usually go when we are craving for dimsums . We ordered lots of dim-sums and one noddle. Dim sums was so good like always but the problem was the noodle that i never tried before. First of all, it was very greasy and soggy.I had no idea how long they cooked that noodle. It was the beef noodle something but it literally has 2 pieces of the meat and rest of them was vegetables. On top of that, my husband found the bandaid in the noodle while his was eating it. I was so mad to see that, so when i almost to call the server to complain it my husband just stopped at me. He was saying it was not a big deal. We ended up to not leave any tips for them and just left. Anyway this was the my worst food experience.
Wow, that's crazy!
I love your videos! But I still asking myself "why do I need to know more storytelling than english on CELPIP test?". It is really frustrating try to remember a story or create something from scratch to a non-english speaker...
Yes, it's hard! I'm not sure why the test is like that. Thanks for liking my videos! 😃😃
Dear sir Mark,... you may become a guest star at my class
Thank you so much! 😃😃
so, 6 month ago i went to restaurant for dinner with my frend and we ordered one large chikan pizza for main course and for starter we ordered salad and soup. when starter came our table i saw salad was like sliminess and soup bread was totally melt into soup , so i didn’t tasted it and wish for good main course but unfortunately they spoiled ours mood that day because chikan pizza came with not fully cooked . anyway that was a really frustrating day for us because we planned dinner after long time but worst experience i ever had is that and i wish i never fill again
So, It was nearly three years ago, I went to a newly opened restaurant without checking for reviews. I looked at the menu and found that items were one of its kind. I ordered a dish called mountain delight because it had various ingredients and spices and food looked delicious too. But, once I put it in my mouth it was a disgusting feeling. I realized I was no way gonna finish it and wasted it. Anyways, this was the worst food I have ever eaten. ( *is this response ok, how much I might get for this one? thanks)
Great job! 😃😃I think your English is great, but the answer will probably be too short.
@@MadEnglishTV Thanks, will work to have more details
When I visited my partner's parents for the first time, they cooked chili for our dinner. At first, I was excited since I had never eaten chili before. However, after a few bites, I started really disliking it. I guess it's because I was not a big fan of tomatoes. What's more, I didn't like beans because they would make me gassy. I even felt nauseous after I ate some with rice. Although I hated the chili, I finished my plate out of politeness, You know, when you visit someone for the first time, it would be inappropriate to make comments on the food. Anyway, this is a really frustrating experience for me, and I will never get chili again.
Oh no 😂
So six years ago my husband's friend invited us for lunch and that time we were new in Canada so we were very much excited to meet him and taking dinner with them.we reached their home 1 hour early and our worst experience start from their .they didn't welcomed us nicely just did some formal talk.after that we went to dinnng room for dinner ,my husband and me both shocked when i saw on dinnng table they just made bread , mishal ( one of Indian dish) and Salad. Food was very spicy and tasteless, my son got very upset. We didnt ate much and came back with hungery stomach. Anyway that was very awful and disappointing experience we felt.
Thanks
three years ago, i went out with my friends to eat lamb curry which was suggested by one of my college mate. But all my high hopes of having a great dinner turned into a worst nightmare.Firstly, restaurant looked pale and so was their service but we decide to sit as you cant judge the book by its cover. as soon as we were served our dinner we just attacked the food as we were really hungry. the meat was raw,i chewed it for few mins before i threw up in my plate. the curry was literally made of chilli powder. Everybody including me started having stomach ache soon after we left the restaurant. anyways, that was one of my worst food experience till now.
I love lamb curry. 😃😃
You said you broke your arm and laughed. And now you are saying how to express the feelings when we speak. You contradicted but I think you found it amusing the fact that you could make up that sentence.
Hi Mark, its an informative video. Could you give some the score that you will give for the answers?
Three years ago, i went to chinese restaurant in honkong since im a big fan of their foods. I checked the menu and ordered the food that im craving of including there special soup that day. I really don’t have any idea whats the soup was made of. So, they served the food, i enjoyed it so much and i finish all of them, until i found out that the soup was made of turtles. I felt so sad and mad becaused i doesnt had any food like that in my intire life. It seems liked i had a butterfly in my stomach and i wanted to throw up.
Anyway, that was one my unforgetable experinced in my life
Great job! 😃😃
It was 6years ago when I went to Taipei, the capital of Taiwan and I tasted my worst food, stinky tofu, for the first time. At that time, I was into Taiwanese movies and eager to experience their cultures like what they have, wear, and do during free times. So, I went to one of the famous night markets and arrived at the street stall and realized it was a bad choice. Due to its bad odours, I was hesitant to try at first but I gave it a shot and bit one bite. However, right after I threw it up and its bad smell didn't go away after rinsing my mouth with water a few times. Anyway, this is my experience with the worst food ever and I've not tried it after.
So, last month i went to a new chiniese restaurant named green dragon in toronto downtown and it was probably the worst food i ever ate. I still remember, i ordered some hakka noodles that day and i was expecting it to be an authentic and tasty chiniese food. But unfortunately, when i tasted it, it happened to be one of the worst hakka noodles of my life. It was undercooked, it missed most of the spices even though we specifically asked the server to inform chef that we wanted the spicy food. The vegitables used in hakka noodles were poorly chopped and stale. I would never forget this experience and would never go to that restaurant.
Is this response proper? Is my conclusion ok? Please let me know.
Your speaking/writing videos helped crushed me my CELPIP score. Can i still buy you a coffee with same paypal link?
So, last year my sister and I went to a new restaurant to tried new dishes they had. My sister ordered a chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella cheese and white sauce. It was the worst dish I have ever eaten in my life, it was smell bad and the chicken was not cooked well, which let me felt so disgusted and had an awful experience. Anyway, I will think twice before going to this restaurant again. ( is it correct) another thing ( how to add emotion - feeling to our talk)
Great job! 😃
* it smelled bad
* which made me feel disgusted
Adding emotion in another language is very hard! I'll try to think of some strategies.
Thanks you are the best.
excellent teacher😍
Yesterday, I was dining in a korean restaurant at Bathurst St. with my friend Anna. We ordered their famous chili chicken and fries for $50 which is good for two. When the chicken was served, I noticed that it was totally different from the picture and the taste was really bad! The chicken was uncooked and too spicy to eat. That was the wost food I've ate and I was not so hapoy about it.
so last week me and my girl friend went to a restaurant. as well as the day was special for her because 16 may her birthday, the restaurant is one of the best food court in the city. when we ordered different type of foods she has really expected that day and food arrived, she got bad smell from the food and she run out from the place and went to bathroom start vomiting, the problem was on the chicken. and we made a complaint against the restaurant.This was the worst experience i ever had
Nice! 😃😃
Thank you 💛
Thank you. Just want to know seems there is no answers in your book?
My book is full of answers! 😃😃
4 years ago I decided to change my diet because I wanted to impress my girlfriend, so I did veganism for a year, first the change was hard in the way that my parents were not happy with my decision due to they were worried about my health and how I would get my nutrients only eating vegetables, anyway my diet has changed now and I have a more open diet bc I wanna be a bodybuilder
Six months ago, me and my friend went to retsuramt namend tanjore here in belleville city it was my friends birthday so we planned out when we reached at restaurant we ordered matar panner , garlic bread along with patato fritters , when we recieved the order it was unappealing and the taste was really bland , on the top of that food was expensive after trying cusine we both had stomacvh aches i woudnt recommend going anybody to that restaurant anyway it was the worst experience i had with food.
Hi Mark. Does your book have a compilation of all the four parts of the exam? I feel it will be more beneficial to have one book for the 4 parts that comprise the exam. Thanks!
Hi! :) Unfortunately, it's just for the speaking part. But lots of people have asked me to do a writing book too, so now I'm working on that. Maybe after I make books for all the parts, I can put them together into one book!
@@MadEnglishTV hi there did you already made the compilation of your book after 2 years ago?
Awesome Mark, Actually in Mexican Spanish We use past tense verbs a lot.
Cheers my man.
I am taking all your video courses for the Celpip Test for my PR.
Another brilliant lesson, as like all of them!! Thank you. I'm trying to improve my speaking skills for an important job interview. I'm from Italy and I'll move abroad for work (in Europe for the moment). I wonder if your book could help me to achieve the goal. What do you think about that? Thank you so much and keep it up!!
Good luck to you, watch more business English for communication it will increase your vocab, different topics but stay in business English it will change your life. Watch more job interview and listen carefully to the answers.
Luigi, thanks for liking my videos! I'm not sure if my book could help you. You could probably learn lots of vocabulary, but I wrote it specifically for people who are taking the CELPIP exam.
Thanks, I'll follow your advices!
No problem Mark, I will continue to follow your videos! thanks
😃
Few month ago i went to a restaurant near kolil bridge named king' s food with my friend. It was very bad experience for me because i was very excited with the location of restaurant but when we ordered some sea food that is very worst in taste it was not actually sea food it was like a street food there is no different quality as name mentioned in menu. So i was very disappointed with it.
PLS RPL
10 years ago when I was in India I went to an Indian restaurant where was served spicy food. I have ordered vegetarian soap and I find it difficult to eat because it was so spicy and didn’t have any nutritional value it contained just some vegetables and a lot of spicy water. It’s awful.anyway. I think that soap was the bad food I have ever eaten.
Ameneh Safarzadeh remind you to use past tenses, I ordered, I found...
Hamed Sadr thanks for correcting my mistakes.🙏☺️
Really frustrated when I am retaking the test because I got an 8 for speaking... I have always been fluent in English and people are always surprised to learn I am not a Canadian. CELPIP completely crushes my confidence and made me insecure about my speaking. I am giving your videos a shot, Mark! Thank you for your effort!
Pls share your new results
@@toobahali3730 I got an 11 for my speaking after retaking it!
when you speed it up to 1.5 it started to sound like how normal conversation goes.
Three years ago, When i'd eaten ceviche in Chile. One of my friend is from Chile. He invited me his house. Then i visited his country. Actually I'm from Korean. So i ve never been this country. Also i don't know any South America culture. I was very nervous. Finally i ve got the Chile airport. Then My friend brought me street food market near his house. I looked around that market and compared with my country market. Suddenly he suggested one of the typically food for me. It is called ceviche. Ceviche is made with sliced seafood with lemon and onions. The taste was very sour and salty for me. I coundn't eat very well. He looked me and laughed a lot. anyway, That food was one of the worst food in my life.
Awesome! 😃😃
Not a true Story: '8 months ago i ate 1 of the most awful African food ever in New York City. I travelled to NYC for a business trip for 1 month. After my first week in NYC, i was very desperate for African food so i began to search. Fortunately i found somewhere in Brooklyn to buy African dishes that killed my hunger for days. After i tested the food it was so bad that i became very scared of eating foreign made African dishes till date especially in the states. That was just my little ordeal with African food in NYC.'
5 years ago I was envited by a friend on her post birthday party .She offers me a macaroons which sh gladly said She made it herself. So I tried it but I don't know that all of the macaroons I have eaten that was tastes different! The taste was like Sour or bitter. But I eat the whole piece. I can't tell her it is bad because It's her who effortly made it! That was the worst food I have eaten!
Lol
I made my homework teacher. I am a good student 😜. In my last vacations two year ago, I was in a very expensive restaurant and I ordered a sandwich of chicken, everything it is ok, I ate all my food and I went my room, after two hours, I don´t felt very well, I ran away very fast to the bathroom, In the bathroom I couldn't open the botton , I jumped and moved all the time, after a minute (the minute more longer of my life 😱😱) I finally could open the botton, I was afraid, but my torture has finished, the rest of the history is not important. This is the sandwinch the most dangerous in my life. End.😯 😵 😏
Teacher, you've had a dangerous food that send you to the bathroom quickly, can you say the name of food? 😯 😏
It's ok those things happen sometimes 😏😏 I think so.
Bye bye amigo, I see you in the next video.
Haha, great story! I have had similar experiences many times. 😄We call that 'food poisoning'.
I have next month and I'm very nervous

Hi Harjit, thanks for finding my channel! 😃That would be great if you do the homework!
I'm sorry about your bad experience in the restaurant!
2 years ago I went to my favourite Chinese restaurant with my best friend usually we ordered a regular bowl noddles soup each so I tried spicy flavour, I thought I'd carried the chilli of the soup, i was wrong I can't finished it all,the moment I swallowed it feels like has fires on my throat,I was so disappointed to my ordered,anyway not bad tries things lesson learn, which good or not...
So, 2 months ago i decided to try a new recipe i found online but it turned out to be the worst food i have had. I went to market in person to purchase all the ingredients needed to prepare the meal. Carefully following the instructions i prepared a completely tasteless and not so nice meal. I felt bad because i spent time and money in preparing the dish. Anyway, that was the worst meal i have had .
Last month i visit a new resturant here in mississuaga for hyderbadi biryani. This resturant was very famous for its speciality in biryani but when i was looking forward for biryani it was like soo spicy meat is smelly and i realized that i just waste my money. Later on i had stomach pain and i went to hospital. Anyways that was worst food experience for me .
When i was in hong kong i had a beach party with my friends, we have different foods and drinks there, and one of my close friend gave me a chicken feet i never tried to eat chicken feet in my entire life, and i think that is the worst food i ever eaten, when i ate that it seems like im bitting a finger of a new born baby, i almost vomit and i cant swallow that food anymore. although i really love chicken but never chicken fee. From then on everytime i saw a person eating the feet of a chicken i cant picture out my face looking at them.
Once I was eating food at one of my relatives' house. I was enjoying the food then I was served something like with salty and chilli. I think that item was an expired date. No sooner I ate that, it smelled bad. The taste on my tongue got worsed. Then I asked to a person who was sitting beside me. He tasted the item and he was like, It's ok, it is not bad. I didn't say anything. After the party he was like, that was bad but I don't want to hurt the person who threw the party.
Haha, that's great! I'm glad you survived!
Ha ha!
May you share your CELPIP score what you got as latest one? Do you keep giving the exam on regular basis just like other English teachers do to stay fine tuned with their teaching skills.?
I have never taken the CELPIP exam. I'm not sure what my score would be. Haha
1year ago when I was in the philippines me and my friends went to boracay for vacation trip for 4 days on the first night we went to the market with live seafood and can be cooked according to your request we did request to have a baked scallops amd when the server serves our food it looks delicious but contrary in the taste it was disgusting you will taste the scallops it not yet cooked at all when we ate. Anyways it was the worst food i ever eaten in my life so far and I will never try that again.
