Review of a local restaurant
The new restaurant, Bailey’s, on Park Road is a great success. It opened last month and is now the
most popular restaurant in downtown Thornton. It’s smaller than the others, and it’s definitely more
expensive, but the food is delicious. It’s easy to get to because it’s near the bus station and the main
parking lot in town. The owner, Chef Mike Bailey, worked in a big London hotel before he started
the restaurant, and he learned to cook from some of the best chefs in the world. He thinks the most
important thing is to have fresh food – everything on his menu is fresh. He buys his meat and
vegetables from local farms, and the fish is from the Thorn River. Believe me – it’s all delicious! My
favorite dish on the menu is the roasted chicken. It’s a traditional meal, but the vegetables are
beautifully cooked and it comes with a special sauce. I loved the desserts. For me, the best dessert is
the chocolate cake with homemade ice cream. For people on a diet, it’s not a good idea to go to
Bailey’s! The restaurant is also well-designed and decorated. You can see directly into the kitchen
and watch the young chefs at work. They cook quickly, but everything is always perfect. The smells
from the kitchen are wonderful, and they make you very hungry! The service is also very good and
fast. Bailey’s is always busier than the other restaurants in town. Try it soon but remember to book in
advance. And don’t eat anything before you go!

The best places to visit
There’s no place on earth like Brazil. It has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, some of the
busiest, most exciting cities, as well as the biggest area of unexplored rainforest on the planet. The
country is, of course, enormous. In fact, Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world in terms of land
area and population. It covers half of South America and has borders with every South American country
except Chile and Ecuador. It has more than 187 million people, and most people live in cities near the
coast. Brazil is a fascinating place to visit. The people are warm and friendly, and they welcome almost 5
million tourists to their country every year. Traditionally, Brazilians give presents to their hosts when
they visit people, so it’s a good idea if you do the same! Typical gifts include flowers, chocolate, and
wine. When some people think of Brazil, they think of soccer, music, dancing, and beaches. The most
popular pastimes may not come as a surprise: playing soccer, listening to music, dancing, walking on the
beach, or just talking. Family life is very important and eating together is always special. Most people
have lunch at about 1:00 p.m. The evening meal usually doesn’t begin until about 7:00 or 8:00 in large
cities. If you visit Brazil and usually eat dinner at 6:00 p.m. or earlier, how will you make it until dinner
time? Well, Brazil also produces some of the best coffee in the world – so have some!
