Describe an experience when you were disappointed. v.1

Describe an experience when you were disappointed. v. 1
Describe an experience when you were disappointed. You should say: when it was what exactly happened why it was disappointing to you and explain how you felt about it. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ]   Model Answer 1: I am not exactly one of those people who get disappointed easily over anything. But, I guess that it is absolutely alright to be frustrated once in a while when there is a huge difference between what one expects to receive and what is being offered just as happened to me about a couple of years ago. It was in the year of 2017 when the capital city of my country had organized an international trade fair just like every other year. In fact, this tradition of organizing international trade fair is a regular feature among many other international events of my country for the last 25 years or so except, of course, I never really cared to attend it. However, I decided to attend the trade fair about a couple of years ago because a couple of my friends told me some top-rated brands and prestigious companies from around the world would participate in the fair. The fair authority even advertised that if we would spend a certain amount of money in buying any products from the trade fair, the companies would offer up to 50% discounts on all of their products.   So, after hearing these lucrative offers and exciting news, I finally decided to head to the trade fair along with my friends. But, when I actually arrived there, I could easily find out that mostly “very mediocre” products and merchandises were being sold at that fair. I even felt that those “popular and prestigious” companies from different countries attended the fair to sell us only those products that they couldn’t sell in their own countries. Besides, the prices of most of the products there were very high. So, indeed, it was a truly disappointing experience. Anyway, after going to the fair, I felt like it was a total waste of time because I couldn’t really find a product, which I liked, at a reasonable price. Besides, I also felt that they trade fair authority duped us by advertising false promises in order to bring more and more customers to the fair.
