Read the text carefully.

Travelling a lot by plane and train is nothing

new. My job is to write reviews of
restaurants in foreign countries for a
magazine called Taste. I get paid to eat in
famous or unknown restaurants and write
articles on the food, the service, the
atmosphere and so on. Of course, once the
owner of the restaurant finds out who I am,
I am treated like a king. They give me the
best meal, the best wine and the best
dessert of the house. I have no reason to
complain. I have a great job.
I love to sit on trains and watch the
landscape1 go by, stopping in colourful little
train stations. I never eat on trains because I
find the food tasteless and very expensive.
Usually I buy lunch in a box at the railway
station. It's not much better than train food,
but there is a difference.
Last month the magazine sent me to Italy. I couldn't be happier. I was in Rome, Verona
and Florence. Each city has its own special tastes and flavours2, I usually read about the
best restaurants in town in advance. The reviews are very informative, but when I'm in
the restaurant, I like to make up my own mind about the place.
In the past month I have eaten nothing but pasta (Tagliatelle alla Verona, ravioli di
Donna, Barilla pasta, etc., etc.), tomato soup and risotto - I gained at least 3 kg! I
usually walk around the cities as a way of getting to know them, but walking didn't
help keep the weight off. The truth is I eat enough for two people!
