Sample answer:

When talking about something I want to learn in the future, I always think of cooking.
There are many reasons behind it learning, but mainly because that I’m an avid foodie. And I
would probably ask my mother to assist me in learning before I go to college.

Firstly, as you know, I have others hobbies Iike sports, video games, but none of them come
close to my love for food and my love for the process of making food as well.

Secondly, it always gives me pleasure when I try to cook something, even if I would make some
failure while doing so. Apart from it, I want to leave my hometown for higher study. So, getting
ready before that is a must.

Sample answer:

Thus, my mother would be the perfect person to teach me cooking. Ever since I was a child, my
mother has always been the one who cook for me and inspire my passion for culinary art.
Beside that, there are different kinds of sources available through which I can learn this skill like
YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Finally, my parents always say that a home-cooked meal is better than fast food as it consists of
more nutrition, which protects us from diseases like obesity, heart attack and more and I am also
a health-conscious person, so I always give priority to a healthy diet than unhealthy or oily food.
This skill will be very beneficial for me when I’m away from home in the future but still want to
keep my healthy diet.
