Today I want to talk about my favorite book that has significantly changed my perspective. My favorite book is about cooking. It was a gift from my friend, who hoped that I would cook better for her. I am not good at cooking, so this is my favorite gift forever. When I read that book, I felt it was such a great book. It covers food from around the world, including India, Vietnam, and other countries. I took about three months to read the entire manual of the book, but I realized I needed more practice. So, in the summer, I invited my friends to my home for about three days to help me cook. During that time, I felt overwhelmed because it was so hard for me. She helped me cut vegetables, make rice, and bake pies. Since I am not a cooking person, the results were a bit terrible. She told me that it was not suitable for anyone to eat. However, the experience taught me the importance of practice and patience in cooking, and it changed my perspective on trying new things and improving my skills.
