| I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was that when my mother got married, she didn"t know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking. My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. Therefore, she had to take cooking classes to prepare our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn"t want me to have the same experience. I remember when I was seven years old, and my mother was cooking, I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her. Sometimes we prepared meals that my mother already knew how to make, and sometimes we prepared them from recipes. Nowadays, I am really thankful for that experience of people, it doesn"t matter. I will do the same with my children because I don"t want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them, I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives without me. | ||

| Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to reveal (释放) their souls (灵魂). Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one"s life online can have a price. Some students in America got suspensions (暂停) because on their blogs they posted threatening words to their teachers. Recent surveys found that nearly one fifth of teens who have access to the Web have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other people"s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people"s online journals. With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be engaged in blogging. In another survey, 79% of teens agreed that people at their age aren"t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also affect blog viewers. When you are angry or frustrated, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret (后悔) later. To reduce the negative effect, change the permission setting and make such posts "private" so that only you can read them. As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one"s creative works. | ||
