Subject: Tee-Hee! Bar & Canteen, Pacific Village, Brighton (Тема: Tee-Hee! Bar & Canteen в Пасифик Виллидж в Брайтоне)
Date: 2nd October (Дата: 2-е октября)

1) Introduction (Введение, вступление)
The purpose of this report is to assess the good and bad points of the Tee-Hee! Bar & Canteen, a bar and restaurant in the Pacific Village Waterside Complex, Brighton (Целью этого отчета является оценка положительных и отрицательных характеристик Tee-Hee! Bar & Canteen, бара-ресторана в жилом комплексе Пасифик Виллидж Уотерсайд города Брайтон).

2) Menu/Prices (Меню/Цены)
Tee-Hee! Bar & Canteen offers sandwiches, nibbles, snacks and main meals that are tasty and very affordable (В Tee-Hee! Bar & Cantee предлагаются сэндвичи, лакомства, закуски и главные блюда, которые очень вкусны и доступны по ценам). All the food is cooked in front of you in the open plan kitchen (Вся еда готовится перед вами на открытой кухне). There is something on the menu, which will appeal to both vegetarians and meat-eaters (В меню имеется кое-что, что понравится как вегетарианцам, так и мясоедам). However, children are not well catered for (Хотя для детей здесь обслуживание не очень хорошее). There is no special kid’s menu, so it may be difficult to find something suitable (Нет специального детского меню, так найти что-нибудь подходящее может быть затруднительным делом).

3) Service (Обслуживание)
On the whole, the staff at Tee-Hee were very friendly (В общем и целом, персонал в Tee-Hee очень дружелюбен). We ordered right away and our food came within fifteen minutes (Мы сразу же сделали заказ, и еду подали в течение пятнадцати минут). Unfortunately, the staff did not cope well when the bar became busier (К сожалению, персонал не очень хорошо справлялся, когда у бара стало больше народу). It was difficult to find a waiter to order our desserts and it took half an hour to pay the bill (Было трудно найти официанта, чтобы сделать заказ десерта, а оплата счета заняла полчаса).

4) Atmosphere (Атмосфера)
The mood in Tee-Hee varies a lot (Настроение в Tee-Hee сильно меняется). During the day the place is relaxed and peaceful, however at night it becomes much busier and quite loud (В течение дня это место расслабленно и спокойно, однако по вечерам здесь становится более оживленно и шумно). There are plenty of comfy seats and lots of outdoor seating for the summer (Есть много удобных мест и много мест на улице для летнего времени).

5) Conclusion (Заключение, вывод)
Despite the fact that Pacific Village has many different places to eat Tee-Hee! Bar & Canteen is definitely one of the best in terms of taste, cost and service (Несмотря на то что в Пасифик Виллидж есть много других мест, чтобы поесть, Tee-Hee! Bar & Canteen является определенно одним из лучших в плане вкуса, стоимости и обслуживании). Therefore, I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a reasonably priced, fun place to eat (Поэтому я бы весьма порекомендовала его любому, кто хочет найти замечательное местечко с недорогой едой).

А) • therefore • many • firstly excellent • what is more • finally

Bunwharf Quays is one of the most popular shopping areas in the city of Barnton.
The first thing is, it is located directly in the town centre near all the main bus routes and also has free underground parking for 1000 cars so it is easily accessible. Also there are lots of trendy restaurants and cafes where shoppers can have something to eat.
The last thing I have to say is, there are great facilities for people in wheelchairs.

В) • attract • a special discount • senior citizens • to sum up

In a few words, I think the Indian Cottage Restaurant would bring in more customers if they gave lower prices to students and old people.

А) • therefore • many • firstly excellent • what is more • finally

Bunwharf Quays is one of the most popular shopping areas in the city of Barnton (Гануорф Куэйс — это одно из самых популярных мест для шопинга в городе Барнтон).
Firstly, it is located directly in the town centre near all the main bus routes and also has free underground parking for 1000 cars therefore it is easily accessible (Во-первых, оно расположено прямо в центре города рядом с главными автобусными маршрутами, а также имеет бесплатную подземную стоянку на 1000 машин, поэтому оно легко доступно). What is more there are many trendy restaurants and cafes where shoppers can have something to eat (Более того, есть много модных ресторанов и кафе, где покупатели могут поесть).
Finally, there are excellent facilities for people in wheelchairs (Наконец, имеется отличное оборудование для людей в инвалидных колясках).

В) • attract • a special discount • senior citizens • to sum up

To sum up, I think the Indian Cottage Restaurant would attract more customers if they gave a special discount to students and senior citizens (В заключение, я думаю, что ресторан Indian Cottage привлек бы больше клиентов, если бы там предоставляли специальные скидки студентам и пожилым гражданам).
