Nick is like many other boys in his lown. He goes to school, does his homework, has fun with his friends and likes to do sports. But in his free time from Monday to Friday, Nick does something different. He makes dinner for his mom. dad. and sister. They all like the food Nick makes for dinner.
"I think i's ____ for children to learn how to cook. It isn't only parents' work, " Nick's mother says. "Children need to learn school subjects, but they also need other life skills（技能） to help them in today's world. I teach Nick how to make some easy meals. Now he can use recipes（食谱）in books to make dinner."
"I lose cooking and I think I'm really good at it. No friends around me can cook. I don't know why. It's not difficult and it's great fun!" Nick says.
At first, like other children, Nick is kind of lazy and doesn't help with housework at home. So his mom isn't happy with him. But now. things are different.
