| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, dear listener and welcome into ILD Speaking Part 2. |
| 0:11.3 | Describe a movie you watched recently that you felt disappointed about. |
| 0:17.6 | You should say when it was, why you didn't like it, why you decided to watch it, and explain |
| 0:24.2 | why you felt disappointed about it. So when we feel disappointed... Our expectations are not met. |
| 0:33.0 | Yeah, when we feel disappointed, we are unhappy because something was not as good as we hoped. |
| 0:41.4 | So, like, I was deeply disappointed because, da-da-da, I was unhappy about this film. |

| 1:53.0 | As for why I decided to watch it, despite the fact it was so bad. |
| 1:57.1 | And I thought it might be even before we went there. |
| 2:03.3 | I had thought it would be a fun way to spend time with my friends since we hadn't seen each other in a while. We all have very busy schedules and live in different parts of the city. |
| 2:08.8 | So this seemed like a good idea. It just seemed that way though. Because of course in the cinema |
