I remember one day that I was seven, my parents were away from home and I left alone .Though they gave me enough money to buy something to eat, but I decided to cook me a wonderful meal. I went to the market, buying some meat and tomatoes and then came back.After cooking, I cut up the meat into piece and put them in the pot. When the pot was hotter enough, I began to cook the meat. After that, I cooked some tomato soup with an egg in it. How deliciously the food tasted! Believe it or not, now I often act as the cook at home when my parents are busy.

Tricks（窍门）to make friends at a new school
Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be difficult, and you don't even know where to go for your own classes. Making new friends can be hard, too. 1.
Be yourself.
Never change who you are to try to fit in. If some people don't accept you, they're not the kind of friends you need. 2. For example, someone who does a lot of sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
Be friendly to others.
3. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!
4. .
A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don't keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact with other people. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi". Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names.
You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 5. Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname （昵称）. You'd be surprised at how often this might come in handy.
A. People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.
B. Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school.
C. Join in after-school activities you like.
D.These tricks can help you quickly turn some strangers into friends.
E. People often stay together because they have similar interests.
F. Don't sit at the back of the classroom where other people don't notice you!
G. Believe in yourself.
