Restaurant review: La Clara, Kensington

critic. For Adam Carter's new restaurant, La Clara, on Kensington High Street, I took this one
stage further by not booking a table at all.
Earlier in the evening, some friends had come (2) ……………….…. for a chat and mentioned La

wasn't - always a risk if you (4) ………………………. up without booking, of course – but we
decided to wait. And wait we did. Having arrived at about 9.30, it was getting (5) ……………………...

we ran (6) …………………. the food critic of a rival newspaper. She said this was one of her
favourite restaurants at the moment. I'd like to be able to report that I now agree, but
unfortunately our meal turned (7) …………………..…. to be far from wonderful.
I ordered mushroom troubadour as a starter. The sauce tasted like the cream had (8)
……………..…. off. It was practically inedible. My friend Jane ordered salmon sentinale. Fifteen
minutes after my mushrooms had arrived, the waiter came over to say that they had (9)
…………….…. out of salmon. He went (10) ………………………. to say that they would be closing at
midnight. It was already 11.30. The head chef of La Clara likes to try (11) ……………..…. one
new dish every day. This is called the Chef's Special, I decided to have this - a not-particularly-
exciting pasta dish – for the main course. It wasn't bad, but the waiter kept (12)
……………………. coming over to see if we had finished. We hadn't. I'll leave (13) ……………….…. a
description of the dessert. We had to eat it so quickly I can't even remember what it tasted
like.
I don't want to (14) ……………….…. anyone off trying La Clara – all new restaurants have
problems at the start - but I for one shan't be going back any time soon.

LOCAL NEWS IN BRIEF

Thresham Valley under water?

Plans to turn much of the Thresham Valley into a large (1) puddle / reservoir to provide
drinking water for the local area have received mixed reactions. Local councillors have praised
the scheme, arguing that the environmental I and economic benefits of (2) flooding /
pouring the valley will far outweigh the disadvantages. Several small (3) rural /
urban communities - two villages, three hamlets and two farms – in the valley will disappear,
however.

Lucky escape for farmer

A farmer was struck by (4) lightning / thunder on Thursday evening, while mending a fence
in one of his (5) plains / fields. The farmer, Jack Dobson, received treatment for slight burns at
Meldew Hospital. Talking about the incident later, he said: 'It was (6) drizzling /
showering slightly when I went out, but I'd checked the weather (7) prediction /
forecast and it hadn't said there was going to be a thunderstorm. It was lucky I was wearing
my Wellington boots!'

Save bags and save money

Shoppers at a local supermarket are being urged notto throw away the supermarket's plastic
shopping bags. Aspokesperson for Asdo said: 'For every new bag we make, the factory has to
pump out industrial (8) waste / litter and that's increasing pollution in the (9) suburban /
surrounding area. We want to reduce the number of bags we make each year. We're offering a
financial incentive to our customers to (10) reuse / repeat their bags by bringing them with
them every time J they shop with us rather than getting new ones each time.'

An academic from Davington University has caused controversy by claiming that (11) global /
worldwide warming is not caused by human disregard for the (12) weather / environment. In
Destination B2 Page: GRIT- ENGLISH CENTER
her new book entitled Are We to Blame?, Professor Angela Lucini argues that large-scale changes
in the Mediterranean (13) land / climate, for example, have taken place ever since the world was
formed. 'People weren't responsible for the Ice Ages, or their coming to an end, I and we certainly
weren't responsible for the fact the dinosaurs became (14) extinct / endangered so it's a bit
presumptuous of us to think we're responsible for all the problems we’re facing now, isn't it?' she
said.

Councillor calls for an end to the fireplace

Local councillor Davina Forrest is calling for a ban on the use of coal fires at home. 'There's no
doubt that if domestic chimneys stopped pumping out (15) smoke / fog into the atmosphere, the
(16) air / wind we'd all be breathing would be much (17) cleaner / clearer,' she said.

I think I've finally got it right, I pop (2) ………………………..……. a clothes shop to find that they've
changed all the rules! One minute it's cool to wear brand new expensive stuff, and the next
you have to take all that (3) ……………………………..…….. and wear clothes that look as if they've
been handed (4) ………………………..……. by your grandma. You can't win! Well, I've torn (5)
………………………..…….……. my fashion magazines and adopted anti-fashion. It's an idea that
has grown (6) ……………………………..…….. of frustration and, to be honest, a lack of money to spend
on yet another dress that I only wear once.
I started by drawing (7) …………………………..…….…. a plan. I decided to line all my clothes (8)

being a child again, dressing (12) …………………………..…….…. in your mum's clothes, but I also
felt a great sense of freedom.
That was a year ago and, although I occasionally see something and think, 'Oh, that's
gorgeous!', I haven't bought any clothes. If you ever come over to my house and I (13)
…………………………..…….…. you around my bedroom, youmight see last season's fashions, but

you'll also see a woman who feels free. And that's anti-fashion. Do you think it'll catch (14)
