London is a big city. It can be difficult to decide where to eat. With children, a bad choice can spoil the day. 1_____ Here are a few of the most special places to take children in London.

The London Banquet gives you a taste of history. The banquet takes place every evening not far from the Tower of London. The waiters dress like people from the 16th century and the food is similar to what King Henry VIII ate. Big plates of meat, potatoes and vegetables are served, and there is music, dancing and fun. You can even rent a costume to wear while you eat. 2_____. You pay one price for all the food you can eat. It’s quite expensive, but there are many dishes to try so don’t eat too much during the day. You have to book a place before

you go and arrive at 7 p.m. There is no menu, the food is brought to the table on big plates and you eat what you want. Family tickets make it cheaper and children under 4 eat for free.

The Rainforest Café is another very special place. As the name suggests, the restaurant is decorated like a rainforest. Children love the plants, streams, waterfalls, animal noises and, every now and then, the sound of a thunderstorm. 3_____. Unfortunately, there is often a long queue for a table. This can be boring for children, but, once seated, they get a free fun pack of pencils and pictures to colour. 4_____. When the food comes, it’s much better than you probably imagined! It is delicious and the whole experience is really fun, so, basically, you get much more than the simple food that you might expect in a place like this.

A Belgian restaurant may not sound very exciting but Belgo’s is really great. There are lots of Belgo’s restaurants but the best one is in the centre of London. Their speciality is seafood and chips. If you don’t fancy that, there are other choices, although not many. They also have some great offers at different times of the day. ‘Kids eat free’ is one of them, available on Monday afternoons. 5_____. With this, you pay the same amount as the time when you order. So, if you order at 5.45, you pay £5.45. You can only get this offer between five o’clock and half past six, though, so you can’t go in at one o’clock for the cheapest meal in London! Belgo’s is open until almost midnight so you

can also eat late in the evening if you like. Just come by and queue up, or book a table online.

Finally, Mudchute Farm is a real working farm in the middle of London. As well as 200 animals, Mudchute has a restaurant open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Prices aren’t low and the choice is quite limited but the food is delicious. 6______.

So, lunch on a farm, in the 16th century, in a Belgian restaurant or in a rainforest. It can only be London! Task1: Complete the gaps in the article with sentences a–h. There are two extra sentences that you do not need!

a) So do adults.b) There’s another room upstairs.

c) A good choice can make it perfect!

d) Their friendliness helps to create this atmosphere.

e) It’s also very healthy and nutritious.f) Many customers take this chance to

g) Another is ‘Beat the Clock’.h) This keeps them busy while they wait for

their food.

Task 2: Read the article again. Choose the correct answers.

Taj Mahal1. The Taj Mahal is the mausoleum with the grave of Queen Mumtaz Mahal at its lower chamber. It is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some Western historians have noted that no other construction carries its architectural beauty. It is the most architecturally beautiful monument that anyone has ever seen. Taj Mahal means "Crown Palace" and it is absolutely amazing. It is the most wonderful tomb in the world.

2. It was built by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal. She died while she was accompanying her husband in a campaign to stop a rebellion. The death affected the emperor so badly that all his hair and beard grew snow white in a few months at a young age.

3. When Mumtaz Mahal was still alive, she extracted four promises from Shah Jahan: first, that he would build the Taj Mahal; second, that he would marry again; third, that he would be kind to their children; and fourth, that he would visit the tomb regularly, on the

anniversary of her death. He kept the first and the second promises.

4. The construction of Taj Mahal began in 1631 and was eventually completed in twenty-two years. Twenty-thousand people were employed to work on it. The material was chosen meticulously and brought in from all over India and central Asia. More than a thousand elephants transported it to the construction site.

5. The dome- the circular roof- is made of white marble with precious stones; that is, valuable stones. The colors of the precious stones in the marble perform their magic with the light of the moon and the sun. They reflect distinct colors and change the view of

the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is pinkish in the morning sun, milky white in the moonlight and golden when the moon fully shines. It is believed that these changes are the representatives of the moods of a woman.

6. Different people have different views of the Taj Mahal but it is clear that the Taj Mahal is a monument of love. As an architectural masterpiece,
