SAMPLE QUESTION 1:
Your local newspaper is asking its readers to write a review of a
restaurant where you have eaten recently and would recommend to
others.
The Open House Polo Restaurant
(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)
Moreover, 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 of 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.
(The ingredients/the wine/the prices)
Furthermore, all the products were fresh and the dishes had the
warmth of home-made food. The chefs take great care in selecting the
best quality ingredients. Besides, the restaurant also caters for all
tastes by providing a large selection of the best wines of the region, which
are pricy but worth sampling.
(The service/the waiters/the owner)
However, what a pity that the service does not accompany the high
quality of the cooking. You can hardly get a smile out of the waitresses.
Thankfully the owner and hostess, a middle-aged charming woman, is
always around willing to exchange some kind words with all her clients.

(Recommendation)
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.
SAMPLE QUESTION 2:
You went to a newly-opened restaurant with your family to celebrate
your father's 50th birthday. Based on the visit, write a review of the
restaurant.
The "Aquila Nera" restaurant
The "Aquila Nera" is a newly-opened restaurant in the centre of town.
It is also by far the best place for families and friends to spend a nice
and quiet evening eating delicious home-made food. I had the opportunity
to go there to celebrate my father’s birthday and I had a wonderful time.
As you enter the place you are welcomed by a familiar and cosy
atmosphere. The walls are made of stone, which gives the restaurant a
vintage and traditional look, and there are just a few tables. There is some
soft background music from the 80s and 90s.
Regarding the food, they offer a variety of focaccia bread rolls as a
starter, with tomato sauce, mozzarella, zucchini and almonds. They were
my favourite part of the meal. The main course that I had consisted of
pasta: gnocchi with different sauces. It tasted like heaven on earth. They
also have desserts in the menu; I chose to have creme brulee.
Slightly disappointing though, was the service. I had to
wait twenty minutes for the dishes to arrive, as there were
only two waitresses. However, I have to say in their defence, that both
of them were very young, kind and friendly.
Despite the long wait for the food, it was absolutely mouthwatering,
and the atmosphere was very pleasant. For this reason, I have no
hesitation in recommending going to the "Aquila Nera" restaurant.
Judging on the taste of the dishes, I would give it 5 stars!
