MENU VOCABULARY
The vocabulary used on menus is varied.

One of the reasons is because food comes
from everywhere in the world where different
languages are spoken, and when they are
adopted by restaurants in other countries, they
keep their original names. It is very important to
be able to understand the vocabulary on a menu
because through understanding dishes and
trying them, we get to understand and taste a
piece of that culture.

their dining experience and tries to compensate for any
problems that may have occurred.

you need to reward the effort that a server puts on

GRATIFYING EFFORT
Serving somebody is not an easy task to do even

if you love and care about the person you’re
serving. This is because serving can be very
difficult, and you can just appreciate the effort.
This should be taken into account when dealing
with a server. They do not know you but they
should try hard to give the best service that they
can. Because of their hard work and effort, it is
always good to show appreciation by tipping.

I am an expert at Italian cuisine, I have always wanted

caterers set up the dinner buffet.
5. Why did she not enjoy the dessert?
Soon we were served. They brought sausage soup. It is
supposed to be a creamy broth with sausage, potatoes
and green beans. When I tasted it, I enjoyed the flavor,
but it was not Toscana soup as I know it. I just did not
recognize it as being Italian. Shortly after, they brought
out the Roman pasta that is cooked with green beans,
tomatoes and olive oil, then tossed with noodles and a
white herb sauce. Unfortunately, the sauce was bland
and the beans were undercooked. Undercooked beans
taste like grass. I don’t know why they cooked it that
way. It was all wrong. Next the dessert arrived. It was
Tiramisu, a creamy dessert made with liquor and served
chilled. It was really bad. The texture was chewy, and
they had used too much liquor. It had a very strong taste.
I was disappointed by the quality of the food, so to

console myself I ordered a coke. My conclusion is that What for?
the Olive Branch does not offer a “genuine Italian dining
experience.” It is very common for people to look for restaurant
reviews either online or in a magazine before they
decide where they want to go to eat. It can be
very disappointing to spend your time and money
in a place where the food and/or service is below
standard. For that reason, restaurant reviews are
used regularly to help people decide where to go
for their next dining experience.
Activity 5
Write three or four sentences explaining whether you would or
would not go to the Olive Branch after reading the review.
Glossary: Buffet: when food is placed before you and you can see what you are going to order.
Cuisine: a dish that represents a particular culture. Broth: the liquid part of the soup.
Genuine: authentic or pure. Bland: to not have any flavor.
Great spirits: that everyone was happy. Chewy: when a food sticks to your teeth.
Caterer: a person that prepares and serves food at parties and events. Console: to comfort.

READING FOR PLEASURE

Written language is very important. A lot of
people read for different reasons, but one of
the main reasons people read is for pleasure. It
is sad when something that’s supposed to give
you pleasure can instead give you headaches.
That’s exactly what happens when you try to
read something that has been badly written. You
spend more time trying to understand what
the author is trying to express than actually
enjoying the content. For that reason, it is
important to be coherent and clear for the
reader so that you can convey your ideas
more successfully.

DEALING WITH INVITATIONS

When you invite or are invited to do something
or go somewhere, you need to show politeness
in your questions and answers. When you are
invited, you can either accept or refuse, and
in either case you have to be polite. When
you’re invited, you need to make sure you
show appreciation to the person inviting you
and wants you to be part of their plans. When
you have to refuse, you need to give a solid
reason and show sorrow for not being able to
accept. Also show interest for another
opportunity. When you invite, you should try
to be flexible because you don’t know other
people’s prior plans.

Hands on!
“Restaurant review”
Purpose
With this project, you will be able to create an article that shows a critical review of a restaurant. You will have
learned vocabulary related to food and have a good understanding of good service in a restaurant. By the end of
this unit, you will have the necessary skills to write a comprehensive and opinionated article about a restaurant.
Theory and practice

The different phases of the project throughout the lessons (from Hands on! 4A to Hands on! 4D) should
guide you on how to get started on your article. It is important for you to pay close attention to the project
phases as you develop each lesson because every phase of the project will get you closer to the final product,
which is writing the article.
Development
You should be able to see that every phase of the project is connected in content with the lesson where it
appears. The reason why the different phases are related to the lessons or activities is because the project
should be used as an indicator of what you are able to do in the activities developed in that particular lesson
and to get closer to the final project.
By developing the activities assigned in the lessons, you have advanced in your ability to competently finish
the Hands on! project. This unit has taught you new vocabulary related to food in restaurants, showed the
different expressions used in a restaurant, how to act properly at a restaurant, and many more important
things. The contents of each Hands on! activity helped you to prepare for writing a restaurant review.
Wrap up
In conclusion, it would be very useful for you to review the contents that you have developed throughout
the unit so that you have a fresher idea of what kind of information and grammar points could be included
in your final project. Now that you have successfully completed this project, you’ve become more
knowledgeable in your ability to discuss, compare and criticize food and service from any restaurant.
