Task 2
Can briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions, plans and actions.

Students A and B
1 I think the most important thing in a restaurant is obviously the food. It must be tasty, of course, and it
should also be interesting and a bit different. The price is important, too, and there must be a good
atmosphere, so people can feel relaxed and enjoy their meal. So it shouldn’t be too noisy or stressful. I think
it’s nice to have some music in the background, something relaxing.
2 This is a difficult question. Of course, a lot of people eat unhealthy food and it isn’t good for them, but I don’t
really think it’s the responsibility of restaurants to make that decision for people. A restaurant is a business,
and it has to make money, so it has to serve food that people like. Maybe it’s different with children. If the
restaurant serves food to children, I think they should perhaps make more effort to offer only healthy food.
3 Yes, in my opinion all young people should learn to cook. This is very important, because if you can’t cook,
you can’t eat healthy food. For example, if you can’t cook, you will eat burgers and pizzas all the time. These
aren’t good for you because they aren’t fresh. I think all young people should learn about food and cooking at
school, so they know how to prepare healthy meals and they understand why it is important to eat the right
foods.
4 I think that nowadays more and more people are becoming vegetarians, and a lot of restaurants offer
vegetarian options already. I think probably it’s good for restaurants to serve vegetarian food because then
they will attract more customers. But if they don’t want to offer this food, I don’t think they should have to.
Some restaurants might choose to just serve meat or fish, and I think they should be free to do this. Then it’s
up to customers if they want to go to this restaurant or not.
