A dangerous pool
Jimmy lived in the country and he loved
to play in a small river near the house. But then his father got a job in a big
city, and Jimmy went to live there with his family.
Their new house had a big garden, but
the garden was very small. Jimmy wasn’t very happy. “Is there a river near
there?” he asked his mother on the first morning. His mother answered, “No,
there is not, but there’s a beautiful park near here, Jimmy, and there’s a pool
in it. We’ll go there this afternoon.” Jimmy was happy.
After lunch, Jimmy and his mother went
to the park. Jimmy wanted to come near the pool, but there was a warning in
front of it. His mother read it to him. “This pool is dangerous. 157 people
fell into it.” Jimmy looked into the pool and then said, “I can’t see them.”

A Smart Lesson
Harry was always making excuses for
forgetting to do things. His usual excuse was "I was too busy" or
"I didn't have time". Harry's parents were worried about him.
"He mustn't go through life making excuses all the time", his father
said. "No one will trust him to do anything. He won't be able to keep a
job. No sensible girl will want to marry him".
"I don't know what we can
do", his mother said.
"I have an idea", his
father said. "If this doesn't work, nothing will".
The next day was Harry's birthday.
He was really looking forward to getting exciting presents. He woke up expecting
his parents to wish him "Happy Birthday!" but all they said was
"Good morning. Harry. Hurry, or you'll be late for school". There
were no presents, not even a card. He was very disappointed. "Never
mind", he thought. "There'll be a surprise for me after school".
But there wasn't. Sadly he said to his parents at dinner, "Today's my
birthday". "Oh!" his father said. "So it is. I forgot.'
"So did I", his mother
said. "How could you forget?" Harry asked. "There must be a
reason". "Well, yes", his father said. "We have a really
good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Harry. We didn't remember your
birthday because we were too busy". Poor Harry. He never had a silly
excuse for not doing something again.

The Gorilla Joke
A gorilla went into a coffee shop,
sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. The waiter was a bit nervous at first,
but there weren't any other customers and the gorilla seemed quite friendly, so
he let him sit in peace. Who'd argue with a gorilla, anyway? While the waiter
made the coffee, he watched the gorilla from the kitchen. The gorilla just sat
there, staring at the ceiling. The kettle boiled and the waiter made a fresh
cup of coffee and took it in. The gorilla handed him a five-pound note, and
went on drinking coffee. The waiter took the five-pound note and went back to
the kitchen to get some change. While he was in the kitchen he watched the
gorilla, who drank the coffee, but for the rest of the time just stared at the
ceiling. The waiter thought to himself, 'That gorilla won't know the difference
between a pound note and a five-pound note — he's only a gorilla, after all.'
So he took a pound coin and went in to give it to the gorilla. As he handed it
over, he said: "We don't get many gorillas in here". The gorilla took
the pound and replied: "I'm not surprised, with coffee at four pounds a
cup"

The story of Victor Frankenstein.
I
was born in Switzerland, in the city of Geneva where my family had been important for
many years. My father married his best friend's daughter. It was a most happy
marriage and my parents shared their love with me.
My mother hoped to have a daughter,
but for five years I was their only child. Then my parents took me on holidays
to Italy, and we spent a
week on shores of Lake
Como.
One day we were out for a walk in the
countryside and my mother saw a very small house and a number of thin poorly
clothed children playing in front of it. We could see that the family had very
little money, and that the children were hungry. My mother went and spoke to
the farmworker and his wife who lived in the house. Four of the children had
the dark hair and eyes of their parents. The fifth was a little girl, and she
was very fair, with hair of gold and blue eyes.
The woman told my mother that this
little girl was the daughter of an Italian nobleman who had given them the
child to look after when his wife died. The nobleman paid them well but soon he
died and left nothing to the little girl. However, the kind farmworker and his
wife had brought her up, though there was hardly enough for their own children.
So my parents adopted the little
girl.

the tasks,
My favourite writer.
My name is John, I am thirteen years
old. I iive in England, in Nottingham. I am fond of reading English literature.
We've got a big home library. My favourite writer is Charles Dickens. He was
born in 1812 and lived till 1 870. He is one of England's greatest writers. At a
young age Dickens was forced to work in a factory under terrible conditions.
The boy's childhood was very hard and sad. Then Dickens worked as a reporter in
law courts and later for London
newspapers. In 1837 he published his comic novel "The Pickwick
Papers" which made him popular. A long line of successful novels followed:
"Oliver Twist" (1837), "A Christmas Carol" (1843), "A
Tale of Two Cities" (1859) and "Great Expectations" (1861).
Dickens saw all the social evils of the English society and they worried him
greatly. I'd like to point to the most favourite books of mine written by this
famous writer. The first one is a novel "David Copperfield" which he
wrote in 1849 - 1850. This novel is partly based on Dickens's early life and
his struggle to become a writer. The characters in the book were actual people
Dickens knew while many adventures of the hero, David Copperfield, were part of
his own experience as a young boy. Another novel which is worth reading is
"A Christmas Carol". It's a wonderful story written by Dickens more
than a century and a half ago. The writer wanted to show that love, care and
patience: were much, stronger that greediness, anger and hatred. People of all
generations and of all times should remember about it.

Entertainments.
There is a plenty of entertainments
in the world and people can choose them according to their tastes, mood or
maybe opportunities. Entertainments include films, TV. books, concerts,
cinemas, theatres, discos, travelling and different parties. Some families
prefer to take their children to museums, art galleries or parks at the
weekend. It's a nice way of spending free time together for the whole family.
It is quite normal for British families to visit theme parks in summer. The
amusements on offer at such parks include a range of rides in various ways,
some of them can bathe you in the water. The really adventurous rides turn you
upside down at great speed. It's very exciting for all visitors. And this must
be how the British enjoy themselves most because last year the nine most famous
theme parks attracted more than twenty million visitors. The British Museum
is another place which attracts people in their free time. It is officially
described as the National Library and Museum of History,
Archaeology, Art and Ethnography. Here it is possible to find great
collections, including exhibits from the Pacific islands (ancient Polynesian
idols) and America
(the Aztec sculptures).

Amelie's Christmas
Amelie was keeping her eyes closed
tight. Yesterday it was Christmas and she went to bed too late. Her parents
gave Christmas dinner and it was not easy. Her mother's relatives, the
Clermounts, were too excited with the dinner and turned up at 9:30 a.m. They
were too dull talking about their horses and races. They ran stables and
knew all horses of the UK
and some in Switzerland.
Amelie tried to engage them into conversation about fine arts. Mr. Clermount
got very enthusiastic discussing how naturally horses look on some pictures. While
Amelie was suffering from too many horses, her mother, Mrs. Lester, was
suffering from too much ingredients, which she had to combine, in order to cook
Christmas dinner. The art of cooking was an absolute mystery for her, and she
struggled with all that eggs, milk, flour, chickens. Ingredients were more skilful
in struggling and Mrs. Lester sent Mr. Lester to the nearest restaurant for a take-away meal. At that very
moment Mrs Clermount remembered that she had
left all Christmas presents at their farmhouse and Amelie had to accompany her
at her rash shopping tour. After three-hour search Mrs. Clermount picked up two
blouses to: Amelie ar.d he: —other and a Chinese watch, that looked right like
a true Rolex, Amelie's rather. Everything was for a good price of twenty-two
pounds. When Christmas dinner was over, Amelie was so tired that she wasn't
even disappointed to learn that Santa Clause brought her a big book about
horses.

The Mystery of the Ghost Ship
On November 4, 1872 two friends,
captains Moorhouse and Briggs, and their wives were having dinner together in New York. Captain
Moorhouse commanded the ship Dei Gratia while captain Briggs headed the
crew of Mary Celeste. Next day, on November 5, Mary Celeste left
port and went to Italy.
There were eight members of the ship crew on the board. Besides captain Briggs
took his wife and two-year-old daughter Sophie with him, as the journey
promised to be peaceful.
Captain Moorhouse left port seven
days later. On December 4 the sailors of Dei Gratia saw a ship, that was
going the similar course with them. This was Mary Celeste going so
wildly that" Moorhouse understood that something was wrong with the ship,
He sent some of his sailors to Mary Celeste. There was nobody on the
board. All people disappeared without any sign. The supply of water and food,
the cargo, the crew's clothes and personal things were in good order. All
machines were all right. But it seemed that people left the ship in a great
hurry. Navigation instruments, a lifeboat and the ship's papers except the logbook
were missed. The last note was made 11 days before. But it didn't explain
the mystery of the ghost ship.
Numerous theories about the fate of
people were made. Many popular stories, novels and plays speculated over the
tragedy. But the mystery of Mary Celeste is still the greatest one of
all times.

Leisure of British Young People
Young people in Great Britain have plenty of free
time in the evenings and at the weekends to fill with hobbies of all kinds.
There is no doubt that the most popular leisure activity of all is watching TV.
In fact the average Briton watches about 25 hours of television every week.
They have a choice of four national networks (BBC1, BBC2,1 TV and channel 4)
plus a dozen or so satellite and cable stations. The second most popular
leisure activity is visiting or entertaining friends. Listening to music and
reading follow in the third and fourth position. Going for a meal or to the
cinema is widely spread among the British youth as well. Next comes voluntary
work. A surprising 25% of British adults are involved in voluntary work of some
kind. There are more than 250,000 voluntary organisations in the UK.
Many voluntary groups try to raise money for local charities connected with
schools or churches while others concentrate on international problems such as
famine in Africa. Perhaps the most traditional
leisure activity is sport, which is divided into participation and spectator
sport. The most popular spectator sport is football. Then we should mention
rugby, cricket and athletics. When it comes to participation sport, nobody will
be surprised to find that walking is number one in this way. Swimming is
second. Young men are also fond of snooker, darts, cycling and squash. Young
women prefer to keep fit. At 15 years old and above young people try to find
«Saturday jobs», working as assistants in shops, cafes or restaurants to have
pocket money. They save this money for bicycles, motorbikes, and spend it for
discos and dances.

Christmas in My Family.
Hello! My name is Alexander. I live
in Ukraine.
My family is large. I live with my parents and grandparents. I've got two elder
sisters Olga and Anna. Now they are students of Kyiv University
and they visit our place only on holidays and some family occasions. Each
Ukrainian family has its own customs and traditions. Ours is not an exception.
My parents are very sociable and friendly people, so from time to time our
house is full of guests. Our favourite holidays are New Year, Christmas and
Women's Day. My mother thinks that at night of New Year's Eve the old year with
all its troubles leaves us forever and the New Year with all our hopes and
expectations knocks at our doors. On the eve of January the 7' we start
celebrating Christmas. It's a real ritual for ray grandparents. My granny
always gets ready for this religious holiday beforehand. On Sviat Vechir we
gather around the table for a holy supper of twelve symbolic dishes. We are not
allowed to start supper until the first star appears in the sky. We begin our
supper with the kutia (a dish of honey, poppy seeds and wheat kernels boiled in
pure rainwater). There are no meat and meat products on our table. My granny is
a wonderful cook, so we enjoy her varenyky, holubtsi and desserts made from
dried fruit and honey. After tasty supper we go to bed. Early in the morning we
go to church to take part in the church service. When we come back home we give
each other presents and wish "Merry Christmas'". All boxes with the
presents are located under Christmas tree. It's a nice time when my sisters are
at home and we've got a lot of happy moments together.

The texts for teachers
Text I. Cambridge University at a Glance
In 1209, several hundred students
and scholars moved some 60
miles from Oxford.
Due to some troubles with life and studies, they had to get away from Oxford and settle down in
a small place where they established a new university. There were no colleges at
those days and student life was absolutely different from what it is now.
Students were of all ages and came from everywhere. They made a community, but
not all was quiet and peaceful in their lives. Gradually the idea of the
College developed and in 1284 Peterhouse, the oldest college in Cambridge, was founded.
Life in College was strict; students
were forbidden to play games, to sing merry songs, to hunt or fish, and to
dance. Books were rare and all the lessons were in Latin which students were
supposed to speak even among themselves. In 1440, King Henry VI founded King's College, and then other colleges
followed. Many great personalities studied at Cambridge,
among them Erasmus, Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, Newton, Wordsworth, Byron
and Tennyson. With the course of time, Cambridge
and its colleges gained worldwide popularity and became Oxford's rival in terms of education,
research, development and sports. Both Oxford
and Cambridge
became a standard for any educational establishment that has been created since
then throughout the world.
Text II Spanish Omelette
The traditional Spanish omelette is
a full dish itself. Each Spanish family produces its own individual version of
it according to the season and the availability of vegetables. The following
recipe is the most familiar.
-
450 g
potatoes, peeled, washed and finely sliced
-
salt - 150 ml vegetable oil
-
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
-
6 eggs - 4 - 5 tablespoons olive oil
Sprinkle the potatoes with the salt.
In a large frying pan heat the vegetable oil. Add the potatoes and onions and
fry them over a medium heat for 15 minutes, turning them until they are
properly cooked. Remove from the pan with a spatula and drain off most of the
excess oil.
Stir the eggs in a bowl with a
little salt, add the potato mixture and mix well. Heat olive oil in a smaller
pan and pour in the egg mixture. While cooking, shape the omelette into
a round, pressing the edges away from the sides of the frying pan. Serve with a
green salad.

Frank Johnston is interviewing Mrs
Vanessa Bold about her ordinary working day.
Frank: Good evening, Mrs Bold. Please, tell our
viewers about your weekday's life.
Mrs Bold: Good evening. Well, I wake up at 7,
get up at 7.^5...
Frank: Excuse my interrupting you, Mrs Bold, but what
are doing all this time?
Mrs Bold: I am having my breakfast in bed and
read "The Times". So, then I drive to my office - I hate having
drivers - and start doing a big load of work at once.
Frank: What does your day start with?
Mrs Bold: First of all, I read my mail and
dictate my answers to the secretary. Then I have a meeting for about half an
hour and listen to my managers' reports on yesterday's achievements and
results.
Frank: Are you strict with your personnel?
Mrs Bold: Yes, I am. If I am not, they will go
loose and my company will turn into ashes!
*
Frank: What's then?
Mrs Bold: Well, then it's time to walk with
Porter and Sanders...
Frank: Excuse me. Who are they?
Mrs Bold: Porter is my cocker spaniel and
Sanders is my personal assistant. We discuss the recent business events and our
plans for the nearest future.
Frank: And what time do you have lunch?
Mrs Bold: At 13 - 13.30, not earlier. I just
can't make it earlier with my schedule. And I eat alone - like to be in solitude
at least for a while. And no business matters during my lunchtime!
Frank: What is the second half of your day filled
with?
Mrs Bold: Well, usually I am doing my tour
around the company and watch my people working. Sometimes talk to them. Then
have several business conversations with the dealers, branch offices, and even
our rival companies.
Frank: Thank you very much for your time, Mrs Bold.
And the last question. Are you satisfied with what you are doing?
Mrs Bold: Yes, of course, I am. I would like
to work in this industry for a very long time. Thank you. Good-bye.

Meals and Laying the Table in Ukraine
The hospitality of Ukrainian people
is well-known throughout the world.
When a foreigner sets foot in Ukraine
first he gets acquainted with our cookery - national dishes and meal-times. He
has to do in Ukraine as the
Ukrainians do.The usual meals in Ukraine are breakfast, lunch,
dinner and supper. Breakfast is the first meal of the day. Lunch or luncheon is
a light meal usually in the middle of the day. Dinner is the chief and the most
substantial meal. Working people usually have a break for dinner at their place
of employment. If you have a special dinner, you should know how to lay the

Choosing an Occupation
One of the most common and difficult
problems a young man faces is deciding what to do about a career. There are
individuals who at the age of six "know" that they want to be
doctors, or pilots, or fire fighters. But the majority of us are not sure about
the future career. Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of
things you have to think about while deciding what you'd like to do.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn on for advice and help in
making your choice. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally
qualified to counsel you and to give detailed information about job
qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends
who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions. But if other people
help you to make a decision, self-evaluation is an important part of the
decision-making process.

The Status of a Man and a Woman in
the Society
The Women's Liberation Movement
began in the 1960s. It was started by women who were worried about their
identity, their role in society and their work. A lot of women want full
equality with man in every sphere of life. They want husbands to share all the
work and responsibilities of home and family. They want women and men to have
the same jobs and the same chance to make a career. They also want to be paid
just as much as men for the same work. It is important to remember that the
Women's Liberation Movement is not concerned only with concrete issues; it is
also concerned with attitudes and beliefs. For example, the issue of women's
identity. Some women don't think they are capable of doing anything important.
This Movement helps these women improve their views on themselves.The second
important issue of Women's Liberation Movement is the question of women's role
in society. Should a woman work s outside the home, should she work if she is
married and has children? Many people feel that women ought to be considered
equal to men in every way. But there are some men who don't share this view. To
their mind, the most important women's role is to be a good wife, a careful
mother and to keep all households. Our modern world, fortunately, gives more
opportunities for women to be on one social ladder with men. We can find a lot
of companies, banks and offices where the managers are women. They have made a
bright career. It shows that women are clever, hard-working and ambitious
enough to feel absolutely equal with men in the society.

MOTHER TERESA
Mother Teresa was a simple nun. She
never wanted to be famous, but everyone in the world knew who site was. She
received many important awards. She travelled around the world to accept them.
She asked people for help. Then she gave everything to poor people.
Mother Teresa was
born Agnes Gonxha in 1910 in
what is now Macedonia.
She was the youngest of three children. Agnes's father died when she was a
child. Her mother made dresses to support their family Agnes's mother also
liked to do charity work, such as visiting the sick. Agnes often went with her
and she enjoyed helping these people. She was a good and religious girl. Even
as a child, Agnes wanted to be a nun. When she was 18 years old she joined a
group of nuns in Darjeeling.
India.
There, she chose the name Teresa. Then she went to Calcutta to work at St. Mary's School. The
school was in a convent. Sister Teresa lived in the convent and worked at the
school for 20 years. She eventually became the principal. During all those
years, Sister Teresa was always concerned about how other people lived. The
convent had clean buildings and beautiful lawns. But outside the convent, the
streets were dirty and crowded and full of very poor people. One day in 1946,
Sister Teresa was riding on a train to Darjeeling.
She looked out of the window and saw dirty children. They were wearing rags and
sleeping in doorways. Sick and dying people were lying on filthy streets. She
loved her work at the school, but she realized that other people needed her
help more. At that moment, she believed God sent her a message. She decided to
go to work with the poor. Two years later, Sister Teresa left the convent.
First, she went to a hospital to learn to take care of sick people. After three
months, she was ready to live with the poor and the sick. One day, she saw a
group of poor children and called them to her. She told them she was going to
open a school. The school had no roof, no walls, and no chairs. On the first
day, only five students came. She used a stick to write lessons in the dirt.
Several months later, Sister Teresa
had many students. Everyone in Calcutta
knew about her. A friend let her use part of his house for the school. She
taught the children language and math. She also taught them how to keep clean
and stay healthy. Soon, other nuns came to help her. Sister Teresa was happy
that they wanted to join her. But she told them that life with her was not
easy. She said that everyone had to wear the same clothes — white cotton saris.
She wanted all the nuns to look like the poor people in India. In I948, Sister Teresa
started her own group of nuns. They were called the Missionaries of Charity.
She was their leader, so they called her "Mother" "Teresa. The
nuns lived in the slums with people who were poor, dirty and sick. It was hard
work and the days were long. But many other nuns came from around the world to
join Mother Teresa. One day, Mother Teresa saw an old woman in the street. She
took her to a hospital. They refused to help the woman because she was poor.
Mother Teresa decided to open a place for the sick and the dying. Later, she
started homes for children without families. She also started clinics. Over the
years, news of her work spread around the world. Many people sent her donations
of money. Others came to work with her in India or other places. By 1990, the
Missionaries of Charity were working in 400 centres around the world.
Over the years, Mother Teresa
received many great awards, such as the Nobel Peace Prize. But she always said
her greatest reward was helping people. Her message to the world was, '"We
can do no great things - only small things with great love". She died in
1997 at the age of 87. The whole world mourned her death.

Thomas Alva Edison
The American inventor, Thomas Alva
Edison, was born in Ohio
in 1847. Tom, or Al, as his family called him, was one of those children who
are always asking "Why?" He was always trying to learn how things
worked or how they were made. The boy's education was limited to three months
in the public school of Port Huron, Michigan.
He started work in 1859 when he was only twelve. Young Edison began to travel
on one of the trains between Port Huron and Detroit. He sold fruit,
sweets and cakes to the passengers. The hours that he had to wait at Detroit before starting'
back home, he spent in the library reading technical books. Several years
later, in 1863, Edison learned telegraphy and
he became a telegraph operator. He was soon one of the fastest operators in a
large telegraph company in Boston.
He wanted to improve the telegraph system and worked very hard at it. Night
after night he read “The Book of Experiments”, by Michael Faraday, the inventor
of the electric generator, in the hope that this would help him to solve his
problems. He did not sleep more than four hours a night and sometimes he did
not go to bed at all. He often did not even find time for breakfast.
"Aren't you going to stop to eat your breakfast?" his landlady once
asked him. "No", he answered, "I've got so much to do, and life
is short". After a few months of work, he built a transmitter of a new
kind. This was his first important invention. Edison was advised to go to New York where the
opportunities were greater. He did so, but when he reached New York in 1869, he had no money left at
all. "I had to walk in the streets all night because I hadn't the price of
bed, and in the morning nothing to buy breakfast with", he said. But soon
he opened a small workshop. In 1867 he had two inventions. One of Edison's greatest inventions was the gramophone, or the
"phonograph", as he called it, which repeated his words. He told his
assistants that this was the beginning. The time would come, he said, when this
new instrument would record music. "It will play symphonies and whole
operas, the world will hear again the great singers who are no longer
living". Another of Edison's inventions
was the electric lamp. Edison believed that
only work could bring success. He continued active work until only eighteen days
before his death in 1931, at the age of eighty-seven. That evening, Americans
all over the country turned off their electric lights for a few moments — the
light which, Edison had given them.

The valuable fence.
The Greggs were coming back from
their first trip to Europe. On board "The
Queen Elizabeth" they got acquainted with a Frenchman. His English was
good and soon they got quite friendly. The Frenchman told the Greggs that he
was an artist and his name was Lautisse. He asked them to keep it in a secret.
He did not like publicity. The Greggs didn't know any artist whose name was
Lautisse. So they talked to the ship's librarian and found out that their new
friend was the world's famous artist whose pictures were very valuable and
expensive. The librarian found a book with a biographical sketch and a
photograph. The sketch said that the artist had retired at fifty-three to a
villa on the Rivera. He said he would never touch a brush again. Lautisse was
going to spend a month in New York.
Mrs. Greggs suggested that he would come to their place for the weekend. The
artist accepted the invitation and made them promise not to invite any other
people to their place and not to speak about art. At the appointed time
Lautisse arrived at the Greggs and they were happy to see him. Mr. Greggs and
his wife did their best to entertain the famous artist, but he did not want to
go for a swim or walk in the wood. He wanted to sit and relax. The next morning
Mr. Greggs got up very early as he wanted to paint the fence around the
vegetable garden. He took a brush and was about to begin painting when Lautisse
approached him, as soon as he saw the brush, he seized it from Mr. Greggs and
began painting the fence. The same day Lautisse started for New York. Some correspondents found out
about Lautisse's stay in New York.
An article was published in one of newspapers saying: "Mr. Lautisse has
spent all his time in New York
except for the weekend at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Greggs. He met the Greggs on
the ship coming from Europe". The day
after the story appeared, two reporters came to the Greggs' place. They wanted
to know everything about the stay of the famous artist at their place. They
were shown the fence painted and signed by Lautisse. A long article, headlined
"Lautisse paints again", was published the next day. The fence turned
out to be a valuable thing. It was sold for a big sum of money. It was taken to
a museum. The fence was not worth it.

1. The purpose of my report is
to assess the new
Blue Moon Restaurant in Abington's city centre, which I visited on 14th
May.
Food and Prices
The menu at the Blue Moon is rather
boring for vegetarians as there are only a few salad and pasta dishes to choose
from. However there are plenty of delicious dishes for those who eat meat. I
ordered the grilled chicken with Basmati rice. The chicken was very tasty, but
the rice was rather cold! I also thought that the Blue Moon was rather
expensive.
Service
The staff at the Blue Moon were
friendly and helpful. Our waiter was polite and patient with us. Although it was
very busy on the night I visited the Blue Moon, the service was still fast.
Atmosphere
The comfortable seating, lovely
furnishings and live piano music helped to give the Blue Moon a relaxing atmosphere.
Conclusion
The new Blue Moon Restaurant in
Abington's city centre is, in the whole, a wonderful place to dine. However, I think
the manager should make a few changes. Firstly, she should have a wider
selection of vegetarian dishes. Secondly, all hot dishes should be served hot.
Finally, the manager should lower the prices to give everyone a chance to visit
this fabulous new restaurant.
