Describe a room you spend most of the time in
where the rooms is
what the room looks like
what you did in that room
and explain why you spent most of your time in that room.

There are many rooms in my home but I honestly don't think you can guess which one I spend most of my time in. It’s the kitchen! My kitchen is very well equipped with the latest and most sophisticated cooking tools such as a microwave oven that not only heats food but also has the function to barbecue meat or even make stew. It is also quite big compared with other kitchens – about 40 square meters. It is actually divided into 2 sections, 1 area is designed for making Chinese food and the other, western food. My forte is actually making Italian food because I once had a neighbor from Italy who worked as a chef in a 5 star hotel and she would often invite me over for dinner. I normally helped with the cooking so I have learned quite a bit, even how to wash dishes the proper way.

I actually started spending most of my time in the kitchen cuz I lost confidence in the restaurants around my home – the food isn’t really tasty and if you read or watch the news you would know that there are a lot of problems with the oil and hygiene in many restaurants around China. These days I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen experimenting with recipes that I got from the internet. My parents would return home to a table full of delicious food. As you know I’m from Ningbo therefore I had to eat from restaurants the past few days because of this exam. I miss my kitchen and my own cooking a little.
