TASK:
(Name/location)
The 'Open House' is a restaurant situated in the heart of a small
village between three national forests and close to the horse's
capital city, Chantilly. It is the favourite hangout place for people
from the polo, horse races, and golf world.
(Atmosphere/decor)
As you enter the place you are welcomed by a magnificent
setting, a delightful marriage of antique cut stones and the
luxuries of modernity. Sitting in any table you have a wonderful
view of the workshop-like kitchen where you can see the chefs
working. For those who do not book a table and are waiting, there
is a cosy lounge with aged leather armchairs and pictures of polo
players displayed on the walls.
(The
menu/dishes)
The menu offers a wide variety of mouth-watering starters. I had
the white asparagus accompanied by a mousseline sauce and
poached eggs, while my friend tried the zucchini carpaccio served
with sundries tomatoes and a mozzarella strudel. They were exquisite.
The main course consisted in a risotto with scallop cooked in cream and a
cassolette of coley with mussels, which really thrilled us. It all was
followed by a delicious apple pie served with a scoop of vanilla
ice cream for dessert.

(Recommendatio

Despite the high price of the food and the not so attentive
waiters' service, I had a pleasant dining experience with
food of the most exquisite flavours. For this reason I
highly recommend going to the Open House restaurant.

Let's start from the basics. Whatever you do, don't tell us
the end of the film! If there's something film review
readers hate is spoilers. When writing about the plot it is better to
keep it brief and simple.

Nicole
Kidman,

backfires and her delinquent boyfriend tries to kill her.
This is actually the climax of the story when Sandra Bullock is
forced to embrace her long-denied wiccan legacy to tap into
the magic she urgently needs to save her sibling.
Even though Practical Magic has been severely criticised by Hollywood reviews,
allegedly because of its light-hearted plot, there are a
couple of strong points which I like about the film and I
believe are worth mentioning: The setting, for a
start. The story develops in a lovely village which
is a kind of New England and you can actually
see what a wonderful job they did with the
scenography. Then, there is the soundtrack, which
includes one of my favourite songs of all times "This
Kiss" by Faith Hill.

How to write a review for the New FCE exam part 2 - review of a restaurant, hotel etc?
Here's a sample topic that has been divided into paragraphs and each of the sections explained.
Part 2
Have you visited a new restaurant in your area recently? We'd love to know your
opinion, please tell us not only about the food and staff but also the prices and the
staff. Would you recommend this place to other people? The winning review will be
published in a local magazine plus awarded with £100 cheque.
Sample
answer:
Being a vegan prevented me from selecting such delicacies as duck breast or steak
sirloin nevertheless, the restaurant offers a wide variety of vegan dishes. My two-course
meal consisted of a typical French, rather spicy, onion soup and a goat cheese salad,
which was kindly amended by an extremely helpful waitress, who replaced cheese
with some organic walnuts.

I was enjoying my meal being surrounded by typical Côte decor of rather basic
leather chairs, wooden tables and mirrors. What I disliked most were English songs
played in the background, and so neither the decor nor the music impressed
me much.
Overall, I'd really recommend Cote Brasserie as it serves delicious and relatively
inexpensive French food, without a doubt it would even appeal to a French dinner
looking for tasty dishes accompanied by caring and professional staff, if only the
interior was better.
