Homework:

This is part of an email you have received from an English-speaking friend, who will be visiting your home town for a short stay:

What a pity you won’t be around when we arrive. Anyway, we’ll only be there for one day and I was wondering whether you could recommend a local restaurant. Something for all the family would be great…We eat anything! Can you also tell us which restaurant to avoid.

Write the email to your friend recommending giving your advice and recommendation. (Between 220-260 words)
