Answer the questions.
I finished my cooking course(课程) at the age of 21. I thought I was going to become a world-famous
cook. I hoped people would travel from all over the world just to get a taste
of my food. But three months later, I knew I was wrong. Since(既然) nobody was travelling to taste my food, I decided I should travel
to taste theirs.
During my travel, I visited many different
countries, such as Japan and France, where different kinds of food opened my
eyes. I liked the travelling in Italy and China most.
When in Italy, I learned how to make pizza
and salads. We had long lazy lunches in the sun and evening meals where the
conversations went on long into the night.
In China, I loved the hot Sichuan food and
enjoyed the delicious Beijing snacks. I also found the joy of making dumplings
with good friends.
My year of travel came to an end too
quickly, but I had decided what I should do for the rest(剩余的) of my life. I want to bring the wonderful food of the world into
my kitchen in New York.
