Part 2

One minute to prepare, then speak for one to two minutes.

Describe a restaurant you like to go to with family or friends.

You should say:

  • where the restaurant is
  • what kind of food it serves
  • who you usually go there with

and explain why you like going there.

Follow-up question after your talk: How often do you eat out? / How did you first find that restaurant?

Part 3

A broader, more abstract discussion of the Part 2 topic. About 4–5 minutes.

why people eat out

  1. Can you explain why families choose to eat in restaurants rather than at home?
  2. In general, what do people look for when they choose a restaurant?
  3. How would you compare eating at a small local restaurant with eating at a chain?

restaurants and society

  1. Can you explain how restaurants affect the character of a neighbourhood?
  2. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of ordering food to eat at home instead of going out?
  3. Can you speculate on how restaurants will change as delivery becomes cheaper?
