1. 01The First Time I Cooked Dinner

   Hello, everyone. When I was fifteen, I cooked dinner for my family for the first time. Today, I'll tell you what happened.

2. 02My Plan

   My plan was simple: spaghetti with tomato sauce, a green salad, and fruit for dessert. I watched a video and wrote a shopping list.

3. 03A Small Problem

   Then, I had a small problem. I put too much salt in the sauce. I was worried, so I added more tomatoes to fix it.

4. 04Dinner Time

   At seven o'clock, we sat down to eat. I was nervous, but everyone ate everything. My father even asked for more!

5. 05What I Learned

   I learned that mistakes are OK, and that cooking for others makes me happy. Now I cook dinner every Sunday. Thank you for listening.
