ex. 7 / Read the two descriptions of the café in the first photo in exercise 1. What is missing in the first text?

So, generally, the two texts told us about the same café called Majestic and located in Porto (Portugal). The first one told us about the building in superficial way, while the another one described with all details included. To summary, the first one wasn’t an “advertisment” text by itself, it was just an introduction and quite small description of the café. The missing thing is the way to make people feel the atmosphere and the environment of the establishment.

The “Sherep” restaurant, Yerevan

The “Sherep” restaurant, which opened on November 10, 2017, is located in the very heart of the capital, at the symbolic address Amiryan 1, on the site of the former “Armenia” cafe, next to the Republic Square. The chefs at the restaurant serve delectable, fascinating, and creative dishes that are inspired by various national cuisines and are prepared in a unique way. In Sherep’s spacious open kitchen, guests may directly witness the chefs’ skill and aptitude while interacting with them and learning about the preparation process. The inventive and internationally inspired cuisine and the captivating dining experience are reflected in the mid-to-upper range costs (about AMD 8,000–15,000+ per person). The interior probably has stylish and comfortable furnishings that combine contemporary designs with modest regional elements to produce an elegant and inviting atmosphere. In the centre of Yerevan, Sherep offers a stunning fusion of international flavours and culinary artistry in a lively atmosphere, making dining there a thrilling and internationally-flavored gastronomic journey.
