Restaurant reviews

A Southern Chicken Takeaway

Ordered a takeaway chicken and chips from this place. Nice food but ordering was difficult. Someone in the kitchen was playing music really loudly and I could hardly hear what the man serving me was saying. I would have ordered over the phone but they don’t deliver.

B The Noodle Bar

This is what fast food should be like. From delicious Japanese soups to hot Thai main meals. Eat in or take away. They’re very popular with locals and if you’re eating at a table it can take a while to get served. They charge 10% delivery for takeaways.

C Spice World

Phew! Just had one of the hottest curries I’ve ever eaten. I must say it was also one of the nicest meals I’ve had for a while. Unfortunately, it has only just opened, and they haven’t organised a takeaway service yet but looking forward to ordering one when they do.

D Sandy’s

A fantastic restaurant just outside of town. Took our young daughter there last weekend and she loved choosing her own meals from the children’s menu. If only they would provide something like a colouring book or an activity to keep children occupied as she soon started to get bored.

E Take a Tumble

We had our grandchildren for the day and were lucky enough to find the new ‘Take a Tumble’ in town. Lots of activities for young children who can climb, slide or swim. They serve simple, cheap lunches that saved us the bother of finding somewhere else to eat.

F Macs

I went to Macs, just opposite the entrance to the station last night. My friends had the fried chicken and I had pizza. We were all really happy with our meal. The food was at our table in ten minutes and it tasted great.

G Pasta della Piazza

Whether it’s a romantic meal for two or a memorable night with friends, Pasta della Piazza is the place to go. We enjoyed a fantastic night out with lovely Italian food and sang along and danced thanks to their regular pianist. You need to reserve to be sure of a table.

H Giovanni’s

This place is hidden away on the back streets of town. A tiny place with only five or six candlelit tables but with a wonderful atmosphere. Italian music plays softly in the background making you feel as if you’ve been transported to Florence or Rome.

TASK 2

For each question, choose the correct answer.

Headteacher Mary Collins talks about healthy school days

Since I took up my role of Head at Franley Junior School I have been keen to educate our children on the importance of developing healthy habits. I started by working with our restaurant manager to come up with tasty new menus that contain lots of healthy ingredients. We change the menu Monday to Friday to encourage the children to try different things and keep unhealthy fried food to a minimum. The children have enjoyed the meals and eat a wide range of fruit and vegetables.

We’ve also rented an area of land near the school for a vegetable garden and made gardening a part of the school curriculum. Children now prepare the ground for planting, plant the seeds and watch as these turn into healthy fruit and vegetable plants. We’re planning to create a child-friendly kitchen so our pupils can discover the pleasure of cooking. I believe all this gives the children an understanding of where our food comes from and very important skills that will stay with them for life.

To support this healthy-eating campaign, we have also made changes to the amount of physical exercise we get our children to do during the day. We start every morning before classes with a ‘wake and shake’ session in the playground when children get the chance to burn off energy with fun exercise routines. We also have different play times during the day so the playground isn’t crowded, which means the children can run around safely. To support this we have also invested in sports equipment such as tennis, football and gym equipment to encourage the youngsters to take up sports.

But it’s not just the children who are developing a healthy lifestyle. Several of our teachers have signed up for the Franley Fun Run this summer for the first time and have started a training programme in order to get fit. Many of our pupils have joined them and will be taking part in the run as well. I’m sure that seeing their teachers beside them will inspire them to finish. We have even had several parents show an interest in doing the event as well, so this is something we’re all really looking forward to.

TASK 3
Five sentences have been removed from the text below. For each question, choose the correct answer. There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.

Honey Bees

Honey bees are incredible insects and the worker bee perhaps the most interesting of all. You can be forgiven for not knowing about the lifestyle of these creatures while you enjoy your honey at breakfast. So here are some facts to consider the next time you buy a jar.

We all know that activity in the hive focuses on the queen. (11)­_____But it’s the workers, who have much shorter lives during the summer period and may only survive for up to six weeks, who do all the work.

Worker bees are female and during the first few weeks of their lives, when they are referred to as ‘house bees’, they will take on many different duties. (12)­_____For example, they’ll clean the cells where they were born and make sure bees that have died are removed. (13) _____ Finally, they’ll make sure the needs of the queen bee are met.

Towards the second half of their lives, the focus of their duties changes. They’ll begin by acting as guard to the hive. (14) _____ Then they’ll move on to becoming ‘field bees’ when they’ll leave the hive to collect nectar. However, this journey doesn’t start until they have made sure they’ll recognise the hive on their return.

They start by taking a short flight in front of the hive, flying backwards and forwards, up and down, getting a clear idea of where the hive is and what it looks like. (15)_____This careful approach is probably very wise as their search for nectar will take them a long way from home.
