Last week we talked about Countable and Uncountable Nouns,

learnt some interesting expression, like 'a baker's dozen', 'a score of men', 'a five-hour flight' and so on.

400 oldalas könyv =

25 éves nő =

3 hetes nyaralás =

10 emeletes épület=

We practised questions with 'do you think' in the middle:

WHO are you? + what 'do you think' = WHO do you think you are?

Let's try:

Who wrote The Fault in Our Stars?

When is this course going to end?

How many new words have we learnt so far?

How many people have been to the Moon?

When was Tom Hanks born?

When did Jane Austen die?

1. It is set in ..... (time or place). It is set in Barcelona. It is set in the Middle Ages.

2. The main character .....

HOW TO DESCRIBE A RESTAURANT?

(TOTAL English p. 72)

Location: It's on the river/on the main square/on a small street/in the centre of ... It's near ...

Atmosphere: Very lively/busy/noisy/romantic/peaceful/relaxing It has a bar/live music ...

Menu: It specialises in ... It's famous for ... The menu is varied/traditional. The food is fresh/good-quality/beautifully-prepared

Service: The service is quite slow. The waiters are very friendly and efficient.

Prices: The prices are reasonable. It's quite expensive. 

I decided to describe Jamie's Italian in Buda Castle because that was the last place where I had lunch outside my home before the covid lockdown started.

Let me start with the location of the restaurant: it's in the famous Buda Castle near the most popular landmarks like Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion.

Atmosphere: I reckon that the restaurant is very popular with foreign tourists it was packed with people even at the end of February. I guess we very lucky to get a table without reservation. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, I liked the rustic vibe of the interior. The toilets were impeccably clean.

Menu: The restaurant specialises in Italian food, or rather Brit-Italian food as the owner of the chain is British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. The menu is varied: it offers 'quick nibbles' like garlic bread, giant green olives or rosemary focaccia, antipasti (or starters) like flash-fried prawns and soups, salads, different kinds of pasta and pizza, main courses like sirloin steak or fish stew. Of course they offer a wide variety of desserts and drinks. I highly recommend their non-alcoholic cocktails and homemade lemonade.

Service: Although the restaurant was full and we could hardly see a free table, the service was quite fast and friendly.

Prices: For the overall experience, the food and the service, the 17,000 HUFcost of our lunch for three felt reasonable. There are no big surprises, don't expect Michelin-star cooking. If you like the recipes of the British Tv chef it is worth a try. Cookbooks and kitchen utensils are available for sale at the gift shop.
