신촌 쿠아에서 래팅할래? (영어회화/각종 모임 동호회)

<p><span><b>[RESPONSE] Talk about a time when you thought something was a waste of money.</b></span><span><br></span><span> I recently went to a restaurant on a recommendation from a friend. She spoke very highly of it. Perhaps my expectations were too high. But compared to the price, the food was a let-down. It was all flash and no substance. I felt cheated throughout the meal. In my book,<br></span><span>it was a big waste of money. Once, I bought some clothes online. When they arrived, I was <br></span><span>disappointed by their low quality. They didn't go well with the clothes I already had.<br></span><span>It was my own fault. I should have noticed the negative buyer reviews.<br></span><span> I planned to request a refund. However, I was so busy that I missed the deadline.<br></span><span> It was more money down the drain.</span><span><br></span></p><div class="autosourcing-stub-extra"></div><p><br></p><table width="588" height="40" bgcolor="#b7bbb5" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#f5f4e0"><td width="588"> <span><b>[EXTRA TOPICS]</b></span><span><br></span><span>1.
