Students from Sugg Middle School wore blue aprons (围裙) and washed the potatoes before the bell rang. They were preparing a festival meal. For most of the students it was their first “real kitchen ” experience.

Valerie started the course last year. She said not every lesson was about cooking. Students also learned about the science behind cooking and nutrition, from which people got the food necessary for health and growth.

“I come home with recipes(食谱) , and my dad tells me cooking is a valuable skill and we should make it more often.” Valerie said.

Phillip was enjoying the class, even though burns (烧伤) and cuts happened often. He told a local newspaper, “Cooking is not of much interest to my age group, but our teacher, Mr. Green, makes it fun. I like to see what is in my food. ”

Mr. Green thought that cooking was a chance for students to practice teamwork skills . He said, “Everyone helps one another. They learn to share and work together.”

Chris Jones 刚刚结束了一次不寻常的印度之旅,记者就此对他进行了采访。以下是采访的部分内容:

Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was having a trip to India. I visited a photographic(摄影)exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant.

Reporter: What did you do next?

Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.

Reporter:

Chris: Not too long, I bought a female(母的)elephant called Tara for about USD 6000.
