Well, with the help of teachers we can learn different things in our schools such as discipline, punctual teamwork, cooperation. But here I would like to talk about one of my friends who learned something without a teacher that is cooking. She is my best friend, her name is Dose and I have known her since 2 years ago and I really remember that when she came to Canada that time she became my roommate but that time she wanted to learn how to cook the food because she was living far from our family and she wanted to become independent. Moreover, she was facing some health problems. So instead of buying food from the outside, she wanted a healthy food at home. First of all, she didn’t want how to cook the food. After that, she started watching different videos, tutorials, blogs, even broadcasts online to learn about the cooking. She bought some ingredients from the market and she started making different dishes at home. I remember that in the first few weeks she made a lot of mistakes but she cooked a simple meal for herself. Gradually she improved her skill. Now she became a perfect in cooking and she learned different methods of cooking such as baking, frying, stir-frying and grilling or roasting. Moreover, I think it would be easier to learn from a teacher because a teacher have a lot of knowledge and experience. They always guide us properly and correct our mistakes every time and thing when we learn from a teacher instead of watching videos.
