And in 2017, she won the title Best Female Chef in the World.
These achievements have helped Chantal stand out, to be more noticeable and better than other chefs.
Ah yes, I asked you earlier who is the winner of the most Michelin stars ever?
but unfortunately it was incorrect.
The right answer is B, Joรซl Rubichon, our French chef with 31 stars, the most decorated chef in history.
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt, starting with curriculum vitae, CV or resume in American English, a document outlining someone's education, qualifications and work experience, which they prepare when looking for a job.
The phrase the worst they can do is say no means don't be afraid of trying to do something for the fear of rejection.
A signature item is something that a person or place is known for.
Great. But first, Phil, I have a question for you. Artistic swimming became an Olympic sport in 1984, but which country has won the most gold medals since then? Is it A. Russia, B. China or C. the USA? I think it's B. China.
Well, we'll reveal the correct answer later in this episode. Silvia Solomoshiova from Slovakia is a European championship medalist. She's also the first artistic swimmer with over a million social media followers after videos of her walking upside down underwater went viral.
Yes, artistic routines are done upside down, underwater, without oxygen. The swimmer's movements need to be as graceful as a ballet dancer. And above all, it has to look effortless, because judges award points for artistic expression. Sylvia says she hides behind a smile, an idiom meaning to hide pain by presenting a happy outward appearance.
It's good because she can practice at home, but on the other hand it feels like she's training all the time. She uses the phrase on the other hand to show this contrasting opinion. What Sylvia really looks forward to is chilling. A slang word meaning relaxing or hanging out.
Yes, Phil. I asked you which country had won the most gold medals for artistic swimming since the beginning of the Olympic sport. And I said I thought it was China. Well, you're very close geographically. It is in fact Russia. OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt, starting with solo, something done alone, and duet, something done by two people.
And, like, Frank just becomes unresponsive a little bit at the table. Like, he didn't faint. He just was sitting there staring into space. And breathing heavily. And I just thought he was dehydrated. And I was like, Frank, here, drink this. Like, our food's here. And I'm, like, so excited to eat. And then he's not responding to his wife. Like, she's like, Frank, Frank.

And then the paramedic immediately jumps up this huge, you know, like, 6'5", bulky guy. And he just throws him over his shoulder and starts like running back towards the van and is like, come on, we're finding a hospital. And his wife is confused and she's following and just like, oh, okay, what's going on? Is Frank going to be okay? Like just frantic. And I, this is so bad.
