1. What sorts of food do you like eating most?

2. Who normally does the cooking in your home?
In my home, my mother usually does the cooking because she enjoys preparing meals for the family, and she has excellent cooking skills, which means everyone prefers her food over takeout. However, when she is busy, I sometimes help her in the kitchen, or we order food from a restaurant to save time.
3. Do you watch cookery programs on TV?
Yes, I do. Cooking shows are a great way to learn new recipes and improve cooking techniques. They also introduce different cuisines from around the world, which inspires me to try new dishes at home.
4. In general, do you prefer eating out or eating at home?
I prefer eating at home because it is healthier, more affordable, and allows me to enjoy homemade meals with my family. However, once in a while, I like to eat out just to spice things up, especially when celebrating special occasions.
