8. Describe a favorite part of your city or home that you often visit/
Describe a place where you relaxed
In this hectic life, it is easy for people to get stressed out from different situations.
Therefore, we all need a place of rest and relaxation where we can temporarily get away
from the hustle and bustle of the daily life. Everyone needs a place to hide away. For
me, that is the kitchen. I choose blue and white for kitchen’s wall because those colors
help me to unwind. On top of that, I enjoy every single moment spent in the kitchen.
When I cook in the kitchen, I find myself in another world where I am able to mix all
ingredients together to try out a brand new recipe. Therefore, there are many baking
stuff and machines arranged nicely in my kitchen. After cooking, I usually invite some of
my close to come over and throw a party to enjoy my home-made cakes and dishes; but
every now and then, I just cook for my family. My mother and father always give some
generous compliments on my cooking skills and keep telling me that cooking is my
inborn talent, which makes me jump for joy. That’s why I always love to be in the
kitchen. It also becomes a very social place where everyone in the house gathers
together to have a small chit-chat about our daily life. Therefore, kitchen, for me,
represents a place of spiritual meaning. I believe that the warm from kitchen will warm
up the house and the moments we spend in the kitchen can help strengthen the family
bonds.
