Контрольная работа по Английскому языку на тему: “Практическая грамматика и деловая коммуникация на английском языке”

Задание 1. Прочитайте текст и ответьте на вопросы.

Three years ago, Vanessa Stein and her husband Tom took up the fast food challenge: they bought the franchise for a McDonald’s restaurant near Leeds.

     Our restaurant is in a retail park around five miles outside Leeds. Since we bought the franchise in 1995, we’ve already expanded the restaurant itself. We have to conform to the McDonald’s standards (quality, service, cleanliness and value) of course, but the restaurant is actually our own business. We directly employ some 75 staff, order and pay for supplies (from “preferred suppliers”), take care of any maintenance or refurbishment, arrange local marketing, and so on. Around a quarter of all McDonald’s 800 UK restaurants are franchised.

     Buying this franchise was a big move for us. My husband had to do nine months’ training before we could even be considered for a franchise....
 

1) How has the restaurant changed since the Steins bought it?

2) What are they in charge of?

3) What preparations did the Steins have to make before buying this franchise?

4) What are the duties of Mystery Diners?

5) Do the Steins communicate with McDonald’s?

6) What documents does Vanessa have to examine daily?

7) How do they solve the problem of short staff?
