What is the biggest reason why it so interesting and funny to listen to you - you really love what you are doing and you really love people whom you give all this information. So you get the same emotions back. Perfect!
I completely agree with the idea of this video, vocabulary is most important thing in foreign language. You might not know grammar so good, do not recognise and use tenses, and at the end of the day you will handle, but without vocabulary it is impossible. Vocabulary is a foundation of any language use.
Hi Mark, I just took my CLBTest today and very happy for the results, I pass! I did my review in your youtube channel. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge online, it helps me a lot in passing the test.
Hi Mark. Thank you so much for putting all these helpful CELPIP videos here. I took the CELPIP exam last Oct. 11 and used/watched all your videos as a reference/study materials. Thankfully, I was able to pass the exam. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos. Everything is fantastic! I personally get a little bit distracted by the background music but I am a musician and it may be a very personal feeling. Taking my test in two weeks! Thank you!!
OMG!! I won't forget the word "float". Exactly my last question in the speaking part was describing a strange parade and I could not find the word to describe the vehicle. I said a car with some characters hahaha super bad, terrible! However, I got a better score on the last try. I have been watching your videos and they helped me a lot... I will review the vocabulary section. This will be my 3rd try and I hope the last one. My first try I got 6 in my speaking part, my second try I got 7, I need 9.. Thanks for your videos and your dedication!!!
thanks to you mark,i learned today some words like cul-de-Sec,floats,combine,i need to study and take a Celpip exam again because my previous test exam result is failed i got a low score and hopefully next time i can get much better score.I always watched and subscribe to your videos thanks again
Hi! a great lesson like always! I think the people on the picture are building an igloo from ice stones. Vocabulary: deer, nightmare, armrest, abortion, moose, combine, canola, cul-de-sac, northern lights. Take care!
They are Inuit, an indigenous Canadian people building an igloo from blocs cut out of snow. An igloo is a semi sphere shaped house with long half round corridor at the entrance and a hole at the top to let the smoke rise. Nonetheless it is done out of snow, it provides a good insulation and it is warm in there.
Thanks so much for your CELPIP video post, they were really very helpful. Unfortunately, i have written CELPIP five times and i kept scoring low in Listening and Reading. My last score in about two weeks ago was S=9, W=8, L=6, R=6. However, i need a minimum of 7 in all the four modules. I am very sound in Speaking and Writing. I need a special Training / coaching in Listening and Reading, even if it is one-on-one i will pay for it. I have never been able to score more than 6 in L and R. Please rescue me out, this i holding my PR.
Love it, Thank you Mark so much, oh my god I know nothing from what you mention, do more videos like this pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I think these people are building an igloo?
Hi! :) Have you seen the practice test on the CELPIP website? The real test looks exactly the same as that. (Just different questions.) I made a video about it here. th-cam.com/video/RXukxYOfnhY/w-d-xo.html
Actually i'm having my IELTS exam on 3rd March 2018 & i'm really very nervous as the reading section is very difficult for me. And i watched your CELPIP lessons.. those are very interesting..👍& i'm sure that your IELTS videos will make this exam much more easier for everyone! ☺
Its a very pleasant and understandable channel for learning English (or just to train yourself to pass CELPIP in a few attempts in a row). I am failing IELTS tests but doing ok with CELPIP and hopefully going to go to Canada soon just to pass it. Kind of money-wasting decision but I need all damn points for Express Entry CBL9 bonus. Wondering, how do you manage to speak in the way that I understand every word. Clear and not difficult. Lucky.
it’s an igloo i suppose. and people living in artic and antarctic regions build this igloos and those people who live there are known as eskimos. i think hardly life exists in these places as they are 0 degree cold weather. i remember this is what i learnt during my schooling in my childhood when i was in grade 3 or 4 in my social studies and geography classes. i initially thought it was a galore penguins, only after you said , i came to know they were people . picture is not clear for me viewing from mobile . and i take it a pride that most of the words and vocabulary u said is a little familiar to me is because of my dad who keeps teaching me all this in basic life and he always instructs me to read a lot of news and news papers. he is voracious reader and whatever new word he come across he will let me know and when we just go out like say for example, to a clothing shop he asked me a question do u know those dolls name in the display of this clothing showroom , do u know how do they name it . i said i don’t know after which he answered it’s a manaquen. when u teach english i remember my father whoz living in India now and am 1000s and 1000s of kilometers away from him. reminding me of my childhood days... thank u mark . your classes are also making not only informative and productive also making me feel emotional. thank u 🙏🏻
I'm thinking of a car park haha besides neighborhood 😂😄 now I know it's cul de sec, so I need to know more of canadian words, I will take CELPIP-G in Manila Philippines sooner 😁 hope I can get a CLB 9 or higher 😁, so I need to prepare a lot and focus
I learned today the words: Cul-De-Sec, moose, floats, armrest, backrest. The answer to the question is: they are building an igloo. When I wan in 3rd class/3rd grade I saw a picture like this and I still remember it. I never forget something.
The first word was a bummer for me. Just when I started to I think of myself as someone with decent command over daily-life English words, bam, I got hit by Cul-De-Sec! I dodged Lasagna, Parade, Floats etc., but got hit hard on this word. Thanks @Mad English for this video!
Hey Mark! Those guys are building an igloo. Thanks for a very informative lesson! Have a nice day and take care! P.S. By the way, how do you pronounce CELPIP?
Thank you for your awesome lectures!! It is really helpful!! I got 7 at the 3 sections(R,S,W) and 8 at one section(L) at my first CELPIP test without studying. However I need 8~9. Is it hard to get those grades with studying by myself? :(
You're welcome! 😃Thanks for your support! Wow, you're very close to your goal! I think if you do a little bit of studying and practicing, you'll get those scores. I'm going to publish a CELPIP speaking practice book soon! Maybe in a month.
As I see that, there are Canadian Aleuts in the picture: a wife, a husband and thier children. They are building a house - Igloo from the ice stones. Is it? 🙆🙏
I just know if floats is part of parade.If that is igloo l just wondering,how they keep warm inside??Isn't made by ice?Sorry if l ask stupid question. Good morning,Sir.Wish you have bright sunlight now.
Good morning! I missed reading your comments. Are you busy these days? I'm not sure how they stay warm! I think they have warm clothes. The igloo is made from frozen snow blocks.
You're right! I've been to Moose Jaw several times. 😄In Canada, an elk is actually a different animal than a moose. k99.com/moose-or-elk-how-to-tell-the-difference/
The immediate response in my head was Elk - when he asked what animal was that. Glad that I now know the correct word- Moose. Thanks @Mad English for this wonderful video!
This is why I find the exam question fundamentally wrong! If the candidates were to be tested on their knowledge of the Canadian culture, it will fair, if you are testing a candidate on English proficiency it shouldn't be based on the candidate's knowledge of the culture, that could be a different exam . Unfortunately, candidate get scored low not because of their lack in of proficiency but lack of knowledge of Canadian culture.

Take care!
Thanks. I never observed the cow so minutely.
Thanks for the vocabulary.

Great answer! You know more about igloos than me! 😄
You might wonder what they used to burn without wood. They used a tallow from animals.
Interesting!
Thank you Mark for your videos! I studied using them and got great scores 😊
Congratulations! 🥳

As I see that, there are Canadian Aleuts in the picture: a wife, a husband and thier children. They are building a house - Igloo from the ice stones. Is it? 🙆🙏
You're right! 😃They're building an igloo.
* ice blocks
Thank you for *blocks
Maybe sometime you'll tell us about "the northern lights.... amazing picture....
I just know if floats is part of parade.If that is igloo l just wondering,how they keep warm inside??Isn't made by ice?Sorry if l ask stupid question.
Good morning,Sir.Wish you have bright sunlight now.
Good morning! I missed reading your comments. Are you busy these days?
I'm not sure how they stay warm! I think they have warm clothes. The igloo is made from frozen snow blocks.
Yes,Sir.Here we are celebrating Chinese New Year.Very busy and crowd days but now is over so l got my day again.
That's great! Happy New Year! 😃🤗
Happy new year too.😊😊😊
Excuse me Sir,is that canola flowers which can be processing into canola oil?
Yes, Canola oil is made from those plants. Do you like canola oil? I hate it. 😄
I guess they are building an ice igloo, aren't they?
But, I love to build ice castles...
You're right! They're building an igloo.
I've never built an ice castle. I like building sand castles. 😄
Ha ha...you are a crazy Canadian...🤔😉
😄
👍👌👍👌
❤❤🙏🙏👌👌
They are building an igloo which is made out of ice.
Right!
Hmmm, kind a strange to show an American parade picture if you are talking about Canada Day....
I love the place Calgary mark🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 That pictures they are building an igloo.
Moose has got other name - an elk. And there is a city in Canada called Moose Jaw :)
You're right! I've been to Moose Jaw several times. 😄In Canada, an elk is actually a different animal than a moose. k99.com/moose-or-elk-how-to-tell-the-difference/
Great. Thanks, that is going to be an expensive mistake. I shall rememeber this when hunting an elk :) (joke - I am not a hunter :)
Haha, well, if you decide to become a hunter, we have lots of elk here in Canada!
The immediate response in my head was Elk - when he asked what animal was that. Glad that I now know the correct word- Moose. Thanks @Mad English for this wonderful video!
The children are building a fort.
floats means decorated trucks
This family is building Igloo
M I right yeah?
You're right!
Hi,I like animals very much but don't like to take care of them nside my house too
This is an English Test. Why are they testing our General Knowledge on Canada?? This isnt a GK test!! Such a test should be fair to all!!
This is why I find the exam question fundamentally wrong! If the candidates were to be tested on their knowledge of the Canadian culture, it will fair, if you are testing a candidate on English proficiency it shouldn't be based on the candidate's knowledge of the culture, that could be a different exam . Unfortunately, candidate get scored low not because of their lack in of proficiency but lack of knowledge of Canadian culture.
Is that an igloo? The pic is a little bit unfocused.
Yes, it's an igloo. You're right, it's a bad pic.
Thank you a lot for the lesson. Your youtube channel is sublime.
Thanks so much!
These people are building an igloo.
The answer to the question is: they are building an igloo.
😃😃
Just a kind correction, that's a guinea pig...
