My interest in cooking started when was 11, partly thanks to (幸亏) my mother. She didn't really like cooking and when she did cook, I didn't like her food. Once I was watching something about cooking on TV and I thought I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.
During year, produced most of its recipes (食谱) and was ready for big challenge (挑战). I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family. I was happy that my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen. I did much cooking to test my dishes in it and my skill improved quickly. Later, my mom and I set up a dinner club inside my home. Now as a teen chef (主厨), I have also cooked in top-class restaurants around the country. I am not doing it for the money, but because I love cooking.
Now I know that when you stop caring whether (是否) you'll be famous or do well, your dream will come to you.
Do you often make a resolution on New Year's Day? What will you do next for it? If you have a great resolution, it will be good for your life and study. Here is some advice on how to make a good resolution.
Plan for the Resolution
Holding goal isn't enough. You need to think out some clear steps (清晰的步骤) for the resolution. So make your plan. A good plan will tell you what to do next and how to accomplish the goal at last. Making a plan is very important.
Make Your Plan Right Now
If you make your plan later, you may forget your resolution gradually (逐渐地). It's important that you begin making your plan right now.
________
You should write down your resolution and plan in some place, such as a notebook or your diary.
Think "Year Round", Not Just New Year's
Nothing big can be finished in one day. You make a resolution in one day. It doesn't mean you must finish it in one day. It may need a hundred small steps. The New Year's resolution should be a starting point. You must keep a habit for accomplishing your resolution gradually.
