It was. Now, here are some more examples of the adjective 'top-notch'.

Examples
My friend wrote a book and asked me to read it. I thought it was going to be really bad, but
actually it was top-notch. I really enjoyed it.

I went to a conference last week and all of the presentations were absolutely top-notch.

I've just got back from holiday. I was expecting the hotel to be pretty bad, but it was actually top-
notch.

Beth
We can use 'top-notch' to talk about business-related things too. For example, you might be
hiring someone for a job and you see a top-notch CV that makes you want to give that person an
interview.

Feifei
Yes. In this case you could also say I saw a CV that is top-notch. So top-notch is an adjective,
and it can be put before or after a noun.

Beth
So, to recap, we’ve learnt the adjective 'top-notch', which means very high quality.

Feifei
And yes, that's all from us, and we'll be back next week. See you next time!
