Rapid Comprehension: The Baking Class (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:50s
In the cozy bakery, Emma was excited to teach her friends how to make the perfect cake. She began by explaining the importance of studying the recipe carefully. Next, she showed them the essential stuff they needed, including flour, eggs, and sugar. Emma demonstrated her unique style of mixing the batter which made it light and fluffy. As they slid the cake into the oven, Emma declared it was going to be super delicious. But just then, one of her friends accidentally knocked over a bag of flour, causing a mess. Emma reassured them not to swear, and together they quickly swept up the spill. Once the cake was done, they gathered around the table to taste the fruits of their labor. As they savored the moist and sweet cake, Emma encouraged them to swing by the bakery anytime to practice their new skills.
