Answer 2:
I don’t know how to cook. I only prepare instant food such as noodles. In the dormitory, I cook
instant ramen or buy takeouts. My mother didn’t teach me how to cook. I don’t even know how
to fry an egg! I want to learn how to cook. I want my favorites, kimchi and bibimbap. This summer
break, I would try learning some of the basics in cooking.
