Describe a restaurant that you like to use. You should say
• where this restaurant is
• what kind of food it serves
• how often you go there
• and say why you like eating there so much.

OK … this is a nice topic to talk about. there’s a restaurant just around

the corner from where I live. it’s an Italian restaurant so as you’d expect
you can eat various pasta dishes and pizzas and I usually go there with
my family for a slap-up meal if we have anything to celebrate … it’s
quite a posh restaurant … the kind of place you would take someone if
you wanted to wine and dine them . We usually order a 3-course
meal, a light starter then a main dish, and I have quite a sweet
tooth so I always look forward to the dessert. I usually order Tiramisu.
it makes my mouth water just to think about it. I’m always totally full
up by the end. Why do I enjoy it there. Well, it’s not cheap. My parents
always foot the bill and we couldn’t afford to go there regularly so it’s
always a nice treat.
