                 2) White- reading activity.

                              Food and Prices

                              Atmosphere

                              Introduction

                              Conclusion

                              Service

 

           b) What good/bad points does Mr Harris mention in his report? What solutions  

               does  he suggest? Which modal verbs does he use for his suggestion?

 

 

1.___________________________________________________________________

   The purpose of his report is to assess the new Monty's fast-food restaurant in  

   Chester , which I visited on 28th June.

 

2.___________________________________________________________________

  There is a varied menu at Monday's which includes a fantastic salad bar, a wide  

  Choice  of vegetarian dishes and five types of delicious hamburgers. I tried the

   Mexican Sizzler  - a spicy humdingers with chilli sauce in a soft, white bread roll. 

   However, it was rather cold. I also thought that Monty's was a bit to expensive.

 

3.___________________________________________________________________

 The Monty's staff were helpful, friendly and polite during my visit. They looked very

 smart in their clean uniforms. Unfortunately, the service was rather slow and one of

 the cashiers gave me the wrong change.

 

4.__________________________________________________________________

  The friendly staff, good music, clean tables and comfortable seating all helped to 

  give Monty's an excellent atmosphere. The new no-smoking policy is also a good

  idea and it made my meal at Monty's  a very pleasurable experience.

 

5.__________________________________________________________________

   The new Monty's restaurant in Chester is, on the whole, a great success. However, I 

   thing that the manager should make a few improvements. Firstly, he should make

   sure that all hot dishes are hot when they go out to customers. Secondly, he should

   lower the prices, as they are too high for a fast-food restaurant. Finally, he should

   improve staff training, so that the staff work faster and make fewer mistakes.

 

 

 

 

 

                3) Post- reading activity.

                      a) Read the sentences and write T (true) or F (false).

 

                               1. There is a varied menu at Monty's.

                               2. Monty's was a bit too cheap.

                               3. The Monty's staff were helpful, friendly and polite.

                               4. The new no-smoking policy is also a bad idea.

                               5. The manager should make no improvements.

 

                       b) Speaking.

                Read the report again ans make notes under this headings. Then, use your  

                 notes to talk about  Monty's.

 

                          The 1st row prepares * Good points
