Speaking exercise
bold words I helped with
my mother don’t like me to learn cooking because she doesn’t want me to cook. my mother and my brother cooked when I was young. My mother cooking for the breakfast and my brother cooking for dinner. In the breakfast we always have some soup and vegetables because in the morning we don’t need too much food so the breakfast is simple. The reason my mother cooked breakfast is that we stay in bed all the time and my mother get up early. In the evening my brother has time to cook and his cooking technique is great. I like the eggplant dishes that he cooked.
