The best reviews of the month: Patricia Garrido's and Laura Canelada's

Well, well,...
here I am writing again after having invest long time in correcting all your wonderful reviews. This month I selected two of them so that they can be useful models for you (in case you have this in the exam...). Here you have them:


Secret Garden café: cosy atmosphere, outstanding food (by Patricia Garrido, B2.2 Coslada)



If you ask me, the one coffee shop you really have to go to is “Secret Garden”. It’s located in the city center of Madrid, and very well connected by public transport, so it’s well worth a visit.
It has magical furnishing and décor, which is perfect if you want to feel like in a fairy tale. The room is surrounded by flowers and plants, and what’s more, the lights are dim enough to feel comfortable and relaxed, it’s a very cozy place. 
Regarding the food and drinks, you can order a wide variety of dishes ranging from superb salads, to mouth-watering meats and fish but I really recommend desserts (in case you’re vegan you don’t have to worry about it because they have vegan options too). They have the best brownies and milkshakes in the city; and if you are keen on tea or coffee, this is definitely your place, because they have varieties from all over the world, which is a great opportunity to taste different flavors.  
On top of that, what I like the most about this café is its atmosphere, because you can take a sit there with some friends, order a coffee and just relax. I can’t recommend it enough.


Belgium: a unique holiday destination (by Laura Canelada, B2.2 Coslada)

Without doubt, Belgium is by far one of the best holiday destinations. I'd always wanted to visit Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent and last summer one of my dreams came true.

I spent seven days at Belgium and I stayed in Leopold Hotel Brussels, a fancy hotel near the European Parliament. I was a bit far from the train station, which wasn’t ideal, but it only took twenty minutes on foot, so it wasn’t a big deal.

Brussels is a city which you could see in two days. I went on a tour which showed me the most important parts of the city, I visited the Atomium -which is impressively big- and I took the underground. I did almost everything that Brussels can offer, I only regret not going to the comics museum, which was closed on Monday and it was my only free day.

Bruges and Ghent were my favourite cities of all my trip. I rented another tour which shows both cities and you don’t need to be aware how you are going to get there. Spending at least one day in each city is a must. I spent the morning in Bruges and the afternoon in Ghent and I wish I had had more time.

Antwerp and Mechelen were two of the cities I visited on the same day too. I went by train, which is economical for young people because you have a discount. The trains in Belgium are very comfortable and fast, which is the best option to move around. This country is widely known by its chocolates and its beer and I highly recommend Antwerp's local beer due to its flavour. 

In conclusion, Belgium is a place everyone should visit at least one on their lives. People are very nice, they always try to help you and, if you speak English and a little bit of French and German, you will find Dutch very easy to understand.Don't miss it!


Thanks for you effort ladies. I hope your effort can be rewarded by your classmates' comments...
