VI. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the
question.
James Shannon is a chef in a London restaurant. He talks about his job.
I work at Suzie’s, which is one of the most popular restaurants in central London. The
best part of working there is being part of a fantastic team of friendly and talented
people.
I left school and started by washing dishes when I was only 16. I wasn’t interested in
food and I never cooked at home, but I worked hard, and soon became a waiter.
Simon, who was head chef at the time, then began to show me how to cook and I
loved it so much I went to college to learn more.
When Simon left Suzie’s, I became head chef. At the time all the food was British.
The quality was excellent, but I wanted to do something different, so I decided to
have an international menu. Now we serve food from all around the world. There are
so many fantastic markets and food shops in London that I can usually find any
ingredient I need.
I use a lot of natural ingredients such as brown rice, organic flour, and pasta. Some
people think that healthy food is boring, but they’re wrong. Well-prepared natural
food has so much more flavour than fast food. Our food is healthy and our customers
love it. We use the very best meat and the highest quality vegetables.
Suzie’s is open Monday to Friday from 5.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m., and from 12.00 a.m.
to 11.00 p.m. at weekends. On Fridays and Saturdays we play live music from around
the world. There’s a children’s menu on Sundays and that’s when we serve traditional
British food.
