Good Luck.
French restaurants and eateries will [soon / soonish] have to put a new logo on menus to inform customers whether or not their food [was / is] home-made. France's government has come [down / up] with a simple sign so that both French people and [tourists / tourism] will have a better idea of what they are eating. Restaurants could start [usage / using] the sign from July the 15th and it will be [compulsion / compulsory] for eateries from January. The move comes after [complaints / compliant] about the quality of food being served in French restaurants. Many customers [expect / extract] top-quality food when dining in France. The country is, after [every / all] , supposed to be the home of fine dining and gastronomic delights. French cuisine is world famous for its [rich / richly] history, taste and presentation.

The new symbol is an [attempt / attempting] by the French government to improve the quality of restaurant food and boost [tourists / tourism] . A spokesperson said: "French gastronomy represents 13.5 per cent of foreign tourists' [expanses / expenses] . It is [undeniable / unenviable] that if we add value to the quality of our restaurants, it will have an [impasse / impact] on tourism." He added that the government wants to, "[rain / reign] in the amount of processed foods used and [conserve / preserve] France's high gastronomical standing". A poll [contracted / conducted] last year found that only around half of restaurant meals were cooked from [scratching / scratch] on the premises. The French Union of Hotel Skills and Industries believe that around 85 per cent of restaurants [secretly / secretion] use frozen or vacuum-packed food.
