CELPIP Listening Practice Questions | School of Thought?

[@amruthaunnikrishnan5519]

I booked for the test a few days before. I Didn’t even know the format of celpip. I only had a day to prepare. Thanks to your videos, I scored 9,9,10,11

[@talkingcharts]

I am a native English speaker and only had to listen to these videos and took the CELPIP exam without studying any other material and I had 11.11.10 . 8 in all disciplines. Thanks for your work!

Awesome video as always. I like the way you start a lesson and keep the interest. I request if you can add more practice videos on different sections of the Celpip exam. Unfortunately, there is not enough material out there to practice for this exam. Your lessons work as guidelines for this exam. Thank a lot for all your efforts and making this exam practices so interesting. :)

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks so much! 😃I'm going to make lots more CELPIP videos soon! And I'm going to publish a book in 1 or 2 weeks.

[@beverlyespinosa2040]

Thanks for making videos that are full of tips to pass the Celpip. It would be more helpful if you could also add celpip test exercises especially on listening part.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Okay! I'll make more listening videos soon!

[@faisalali9818]

Generally speaking, in many countries firearms purchasing is regulated by the law enforcement agencies but that are not fully enforceable which leads to the concept "firearms right of citizen" means anybody can go and procure the gun after fulfillment of tiny formalities.

[@MadEnglishTV]

You're right!

[@raniaalsawwaf4131]

I must thank you for all your great sessions 👌👌👌I passed for first time with high score 👍👍

[@truckservice2091]

In my country (Russia) not everyone can buy a gun. You should to pass special exam, and check your medical condition on two doctors (psychiatrist and narcologist). The exam is extremely difficult. Honestly I passed this exam only after 3 attempts. But in Russia we have a huge problem: it's a corruption! You can buy everything, if you have a money and friends in high circles And a firearms become afford for a lot of mad people. For instance: just yesterday near my home one madman shot other man in the traffic jam. But other guy remained alive, because in our country all self-defense weapon only with rubber bullet. It was saved a lot of people)))) But you can buy hunting weapon, if you have a license. And after five years of possession a shotgun, you can buy a rifle. Thanks a lot for useful lessons!

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's interesting! 😃Thanks for the comment! Rubber bullets are a great idea.

[@meantamayor7809]

You are a good teacher.. I learned a lot..thank you so much

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks! 😃

[@willsdaring6090]

I just discovered your channel recently! And I have learned a whole lot. Thank you so much. The question you asked on guns regulation; well in my county Nigeria, there is a more stringent gun regulation.

[@Пролог-щ9ы]

Thanks Mark!..we can have many different opinions and views about this world and what is in it but the truth can be only one.

[@mareighalilib8478]

Hi mark, super class i have ever seen in your your tube channel. you such a great teacher, you are in full of English experience that i can tell you. it is not a compliment it is true. .

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thank you so much! 😃

[@leonardobetances7064]

Excellent classes!!! In my country, Dominican Republic, guns are regulated, but as many parts of the world bad people use their influence to get away and criminals they just get it very easy.

[@geoffreyevardone4973]

I learned something new again.Thank you, Sir!

[@MadEnglishTV]

You're welcome! 😃

[@raharostami784]

[@manishaadhikari9063]

Thank you so much sir ,,, with your celpip vedios help pass my level

[@MadEnglishTV]

Congratulations!

[@ginayabut5150]

I am from the Philippines. In own opinion and point o view to the place where I came from. Long time ago guns are rampant you can have it if you have connection on the military personnel or you have friend that working in a military field because some of them they become so abusive to their position they sell it illegally so that time the gun it our place is rampant even the civilian people they can have it and they used it in a wrong manner and they think they are so brave if they have gun. The crime rate during those day is so high, but now we are so lucky for our new president that he make a steps to eliminate those wrong doing and they confiscated all the guns without proper permit and issuance from the people especially those civilian people. They strictly implemented the law regarding the guns and hopefully it will become a peaceful nation.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Great thoughts! Thanks! 😃

[@wilsonruano9666]

I think it's really necessary to follow his advices

[@cinthiadharo3224]

You have explained everything very well. Thank you 😁😁

[@feabalus8628]

Thank you Mark you are the best teacher!

[@suryodayawelcomesunshine7736]

Hi Mark Please make more videos on CELPIP listening tips and practice ...

[@yesygonzalezcontreras]

Hi Mark, I’m just trying to memorize this phrase “school of thought”, is same as a “viewpoint” or what a synonym could it be to remember easily.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Yup! 😃

[@DS-ej5sm]

In South Korea, buying gun is totally banned. However, the the military in South Korea need the gun for training purpose. And those guns are totally controlled by army bases. Some shooting accidents in the military were happened, but not often.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great! I'm sure South Korea is really safe.

[@sasa3586]

Our constitution permits purchase of guns only to deserving people😎.

[@yashendrapratapsingh6932]

In India, it is very much regulated and very difficult to get a gun for normal people. However, the people who are in power and/or have political connection could get that easily. Meaning they can play with regulations.

[@jeanneuwimana5172]

Thank,you

[@yadiramota9393]

Hi, your teaching is very helpful thank you.

[@rosemariebaylaspanes6021]

thank you mark , you are good teacher .

[@dr.ekaterinatyurina7216]

The gun regulation works well in Russia. Someone, who want to have a gun, should pass through medical examination and receive license for each gun, which they should renew every three years. Also, they should have a special place to keep gun at home.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great! 😃The USA should learn from your country.

[@Amrinder.grewal]

Thanks brother, its very helpful

[@wendyz8466]

I just took the sample test from the official website and didn't make any mistake... emmmm for those who already take the real test , would you say the difficulty level of the sample test and the real one would be similar? Not sure if I should spend more time on these two parts before the test.. Thanks!

[@MadEnglishTV]

Great job! I think the practice test is very similar to the real test!

[@wendyz8466]

Cool! Thanks a lot for the info :D I guess I'll just focus on writing and speaking then... I only need to get above CLB7/8 ish after all

[@MadEnglishTV]

Awesome! I'm going to publish a CELPIP speaking book next week. 😊

[@patochispatochin]

hola.. my favorite teacher

[@MadEnglishTV]

Hola! Thank you! 🤗

[@maximgoryanchik3016]

In Belarus the possessing of weapons is strictly restricted. It's very difficult to gain a license of having guns. Someone can get such a license only for the next purposes: self-defence (exceptional cases), hunting or sport. There weren't any cases of school shooting in Belarus.

[@armania7230]

Thank you Mark, interesting lesson, I have all answers right, its banned in my country, Thank God, but you know criminal have it in an illegal way.

[@MadEnglishTV]

You're welcome! 😃Yes, criminals always find a way to get guns.

[@CostaEK11]

He has a very fresh method of teaching, out of common schoolarized ways! Thanks a lot for the videos!! ;-)

[@ustomatoes]

When it comes to South Korea, there is no way for citizens to buy fire arms. Only one exception is that a few hunters can get licnese to buy rifles to hunt some harmful animals and can use them on special season. However, they have to put those firearms in near police stations, not their home. Sadly speaking, however, sometimes mass shooting happens in military. I think where there are guns, where shooting is.

[@MadEnglishTV]

I agree with you. I'm sure South Korea is safer than the US!

[@beverlyespinosa2040]

In my country, there are laws made to restrict and regulate guns; however, some people don’t want to follow those rules. Most of them are bad person and some of them are good, but they are curious about the firearms. It would be so difficult for one country to implement law if the people living in that country don’t know how to obey. That’s one of the problems in my country. Judicial killings using guns are common to my country.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, that's a tough situation!

[@bhupindersinghdhillon7538]

hi mark, what is difference between "Advocate and Lawyer"?

[@MadEnglishTV]

Hmm, that's a good question. A lawyer is a real job. An advocate is just the general word for a person who speaks on behalf of someone else.

[@mandeepsidhu656]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@dj_shellboss]

Great lesson

[@shyampillai6067]

In India,there are lot of procedures and regulations need to be followed for a citizen to avail a gun.After lot of screening,government grants gun to a local citizen.However, anti social elements or regional gangs possess guns in illegal way.Guns or heavy arms are usually possessed by Institutions that provide safeguard to citizens.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Okay! 😃

[@aurorasahagun419]

Thanks

[@linxuan5561]

Is this phrase formal or informal? Can it be used in the writing test?

[@MadEnglishTV]

"School of thought" is formal. You can use it in both speaking and writing.

[@simplyinday]

In our country which is in the philippines we also have a gun regulation like you need to go into process like permit to carry the gun under your name so its easy to identify who owned the gun if incase you used it in other reason,you cannot just have a gun without a permit its very harmful.

[@abdulazizalmasood5895]

Hi my name is Saleh al masood I took an exam for citizenship and I’m suppose to score 4 in both exams but I scored 3 on listening and speaking what do u suggest me do to improve

[@MadEnglishTV]

On the CELPIP exam?

[@sudhirshukla8279]

In India it is regulated constitutionally. But people do possess it illegally but majority is not interested.

[@baodinh2254]

thank you so much

[@MadEnglishTV]

You're welcome! 😃

[@stisti7879]

In Poland gun market is strictly regulated and you can buy a gun only with special permit given by the Police. Furthermore you can't carry any weapon (knife, tonfa, nunchaku etc) in public.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great! The Americans should learn from you. 😄

[@stisti7879]

Yes, I agree but it is hard for them to ban guns because the right to own one is a part of their culture, coming from Wild West times, when everybody could replace the absent or bad sheriff :) A gun for them is a "fuse" against bad power.

[@Sog-b8d]

In my country we have a strict gun regulation, but right now many people are debating and want to change a situation for simplification regulation

[@luiscarlosberhends3829]

Unfortunately, we are in a dark moment in Brazil. Guns used to be regulated there. Now, with the new government, it is much easier to get a gun. Although it is a controversial topic, many people believe that most of the guns will end up on the hands of militias and mafia. In 2017, more than 60,000 people were killed by fire guns, and for the upcoming years, this number can skyrocket... it is depressing...

[@全員现中]

In China, for a normal person, having a gun is generally impossible. Possessing a model gun or even a toy gun which shoot BB bullets could lead you be arrest. But as for the perpetrators, they can still got guns through illeagal channal

[@garimanikesh9943]

I'm from India and it's same like Canada. U.S is really crazy.

[@eatwell365]

Firearms are forbidden to private citizens in Korea. I've never heard that a murder case by guns in my country except an accident in the military. So It is quite shock for me whenever I hear accidents of firearms on the news in Canada and US.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's really amazing. Why can't USA learn from Korea!?

[@ThuHa-yg5jk]

In Vietnam, the gun and firearm market is regulated and only being used by the Country's Government and military. Only police officers, soldiers can use the gun in seriously important situations. However, there is also sources of gun from the black market that groups of gangsters using without supervision.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks for the information! :)

[@amosegonmwan7847]

In Nigeria my country, sales and ownership of guns is highly regulated. It is very difficult and not at all easy for an individual to own a gun.

[@danakamran7734]

Thanks.....

[@letloverule6721]

In Georgia, not in the state of US, but in the country In Asia,you can’t buy weapons. But maybe someone can sell it underground, I do not know.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great! Georgia is safer than Georgia. 😄

In Hong Kong, only police would carry a gun in their working time. We totally banned to have or buy a gun. Last year, a guy killed a woman by a banned gun, which caused a huge discussion on the police force.

[@imgorilla123]

In Taiwan, only police and military can have guns, other people have guns are illegal. There is no way to buy a gun legally in Taiwan, but most of the gangs still have a lot of guns...

[@LuciaSilva-gw9ri]

In India, if people want to buy a gun, they have to follow strict regulations. If they don't want to follow regulations, they buy desi katta. (local made gun) :)

[@cindywang7508]

It is illegal to buy a gun in China. I have reaped benefits from your channel. Thank you so much!

[@angelyndeguzman229]

In my country its not a must to have guns, if you want gun you need to buy it and get a license for that. But I think guns are for the specialized individuals like police or soldiers not for the civilian.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great. I think it's better if only police and soldiers have guns.

[@angelyndeguzman229]

Mad English TV you are right...

[@adamibra3515]

Oh I like mark

[@МобилаМобила-о4ж]

In my country a gun market is strictly regulated too. Everyone can't has the gun, need to a special license.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great!

[@nabanita86]

Hi Mark, In India first of all there’s no such kind of groups. We have no firearm regulation act nor there is any gun right activists. We have no right to own guns as far as my knowledge is concerned. May be only for hunting purposes people can buy guns.

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's great! I think India is a very safe place.

[@Enrique_RomeroH]

My homework: In Mexico, guns are regulated; therefore, if you want to acquire a gun, you need a permit. Historically, when the conservative party held power in the Mexican government, they believed that purchasing guns from the USA and embedding chips to track them would help find criminals. However, this proved to be a flawed idea due to the significant infiltration of criminals within this scheme, including the former Security Minister, García Luna, who is now in a U.S. prison. Personally, I subscribe to the school of thought that advocates for regulated gun ownership. As our president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, says, "hugs, not bullets."

[@MadEnglishTV]

That's amazing 😎

[@LunasBlog0602]

In India guns are not regulated .Those who are in high positions like military ,navy, police are allowed to keep linsenced guns with them for their safety. But others are not allowed.

I believe everyone have their own thoughts.

In Brazil, guns are extremely regulated and every good citizen obey the law. Which makes us easier preys for those who are not that good citizen, once there are 60,000 murders per year average.

[@St.J.]

in Pakistan there is firearm regulations

[@человекБожий-т5ж]

In Ukraine having guns is prohibited, people have criminal responsibility for the guns.

[@ЮлияЮхлю]

In Russia there are people who are all for guns and there are people who are against. It is regulated, but I haven't heard that one can have an assault weapon. In general very few people have guns. Pesonally I believe that guns in Russia should be mandatory: there is no or little help from authorities, and the system in general protects felons from the society and not the other way around how it should be. If you are interested, find the murder in Psebay - poor woman was raped and killed (a horrible way) and by some reason the police covers up the criminals (it is suspected that they are children of rich and authority people who can do watever they want and will get no punishment, because the power and money of their perents). The investigation is all rigged - two drunk guys (they suspect only two teens: 16 and 20) couldn't do it to a strong adult woman. But they name no more suspects. And if people had guns and had right to use them to protect themselves and their families and their properties this and not only this would never happen.

[@MadEnglishTV]

Thanks for teaching me more about Russia! If I ever come to Russia, I'll try to bring a gun for self defence. 😁

[@maryammonshizadeh7343]
