There are a number of things I find difficult to do. Today I am going to describe one thing that I feel very difficult but I didn’t succeed in cooking because I am not very good at cooking. I find it very difficult to do cooking before that. I usually like to make the drinks I like to make. It’s hard to make the meals for dinner and lunch. So I remember last month I just joined one cookery class online. I spent I think $200 on that for that 15 days classes. So I just took the booking for that classes and I joined to make something. I remember when I just started that classes I just told my trainer that I don’t know how to make a meal because I am not good at it. So that time she said okay I will teach you everything. So with the help of I made a number of things. Firstly I started to make prantha or what we would call it the flour mixture or something. Then I started to make bakery and other things. This skill is very important for me because sometimes if we were out of town or something like that we need to have something to eat. So this skill is very useful for me and thankfully I completed it and it makes me feel better and I felt over the moon after that.

There are a number of things I find difficult to do. Today I am going to describe one thing that I find very difficult, which is cooking, because I am not very good at it. I usually like to make drinks, but it's hard for me to prepare meals for dinner and lunch. I remember last month I joined an online cookery class. I spent, I think, $200 for those 15 days of classes. I booked the classes and joined to learn how to make something. I remember when I started the classes, I told my trainer that I didn't know how to make a meal because I was not good at it. At that time, she said, 'Okay, I will teach you everything.' With her help, I made a number of dishes. Firstly, I started to make paratha, or what we would call a flour mixture. Then I began to make baked goods and other items. This skill is very important for me because sometimes, if we are out of town or something like that, we need to have something to eat. So this skill is very useful for me, and thankfully, I completed the course. It makes me feel better, and I felt over the moon after that.
