Speaking exercise

Original

Yesterday I cooked myself. I cooked potato and egg together. It was the third I cooked them, but I also thought they are not delicious. I phoned my mother to ask help. She told me how to cook them correct. At first I need to add some oil and then put the potato on the pot. When the tomato  boiled and the second I need to cook eggs. When I boiled eggs, I need to put the tomato and eggs together. When I finish them, I thought I don’t want to cook anymore.

Yesterday I cooked tomatoes and eggs. It was the third I ever made this dish, but I still thought it was not delicious. I phoned my mother to ask for help and she told me how to cook it correctly. First I needed to add some oil and then put the tomatoes in the pot. While the tomato  were frying, I had to fry the eggs. When I finished frying the eggs, I added the tomatoes. When I finished cooking, I realized that I’m not very good at it, so I decided that I don’t want to cook anymore.
