Doesnt say (C).
For questions 2127, mark A, B or C on the answer sheet.

HOWARD BONNIER
Bray is a beautiful village about fifty kilometres west of
London. A young Englishman named Howard Bonnier opened
a restaurant called The Palace there about three and a half
months ago. Not many people in Britain know Mr Bonniers
name yet, but hes already quite famous in France. This is
because he has written in French magazines about almost all
the best restaurants in that country. Hes only 29 years old.
When Howard was a teenager, he often went to restaurants with his mother and father.
He liked doing this so much that he decided not to buy lots of clothes and CDs; instead,
he used his money to visit France and eat in good restaurants. He also bought a lot of
French and English cookbooks he says he has more than two hundred and fifty!
So why did he decide to open a restaurant? Simply because he loves cooking. Has it
been an easy thing to do? He says its expensive to start your own restaurant and its
much more difficult to cook for fifty people than to cook for your family, but hes sure
hes done the right thing.
