Model Answer

Last summer holiday in Venice, I was walking around the city, enjoying the weather, doing some shopping and taking pictures. At noon, I felt a bit tired and hungry. There was a nice restaurant just across the road. So, I headed there straight away.

First of all, I wanted to share my pictures with friends. So, I first asked the waiter for the WIFI code and he told me "eat first." I thought maybe in this restaurant clients should eat before having the code. Well, I ordered my food; it was "Fish-and-chips". Once done, I asked again the waiter for the code. He said again, with a smile, "eat first". At that time, I really was upset and I shouted at him. I immediately went to the restaurant manager to complain.

On my way in, I saw a notice in which they wrote "WIFI Code: Eat First". I was ashamed of myself and I asked the waiter for an apology. I then couldn't stop laughing and got out of the restaurant. It was really hilarious!!!!
