6. READING PART 4 (5 POINTS)


Read the text and questions below. For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D.
WAITER !
I went to the cinema last week and laughed all the way through the new film Waiter! which is set in a restaurant.
American actor Tom Waters plays the worst cook the world has ever seen and he employs one of the worst waiters,
played by Joe Vermont. The London restaurant where the film took placed does actually exist. Jane Connor, the
owner, runs a successful business with many regular customers. However, although she thinks Waiter! Is a good film,
she is very annoyed with the director. When she agreed to the filming, she wasn´t told that the film is about a
restaurant where everything goes wrong and the food is disgusting. Although, the film might make Jane’s restaurant
famous if it is a success, she is afraid that people will stop coming because they will think the food and the service is
terrible – like it is in the film. Jane is worried she will lose business and may even have to close and start again with a
new restaurant.
Having seen the film, I agree that she has a problem. The film company paid her a very small fee, and she has since
asked for more. The best solution, though, is for her to contact the newspapers. I am sure they will be interested in
her story and it will actually help her business in the end.

1. What is the writer trying to do in the text? 3. What did the director not tell Jane?
a. advertise a restaurant a. that the film would be a success
b. review a film b. that the restaurant at the film would be very
c. explain someone’s problem
bad
d. take someone’s advice
c. that she would not be paid
d. that she would need to employ extra staff
2. What do we learn about Jane’s restaurant?
a. It is very popular.
4. What does the writer think Jane ought to do?
b. The food is not good.
a. Open a new restaurant
c. It is in a beautiful building
b. Ask the film company for more money
d. D. the waiters are unhelpful.
c. Improve the quality of the food in her
restaurant
d. Write to the newspaper
