Although Tom’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of   money. He continued looking.

The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Tom, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse. Then he saw “cooking”, which sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient. It could be done alone and it was also creative.

Based on Tom’s hobby history, his dad had doubts (怀疑), but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, and practiced at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Tom got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
