Parents usually don't let their children cook. They think it's dangerous for children to do it. However, scientists say that it's good for children to do some easy work about cooking, such as doing the dishes and washing vegetables.
Cooking makes children smart.
In some cooking activities, children can choose and decide what things to put in a dish or how much salt to put in a dish. That's a great way to make them think actively. At the same time, they can learn how to serve their friends by cooking themselves. They can also learn to eat healthily.
Cooking teaches children to feel how things change.
When helping cook in the kitchen, children can touch some different ingredients (食材) and they can also see how food changes by temperature. So it's good for them to get life experience.
Cooking makes children confident (自信的).
When children learn to cook, they usually feel that they have grown up, and they can do something for their family members. Children can cook a great dinner to show their love. So, cooking is well worth (值得) learning.
Cooking teaches children cultures.
Cooking in one culture is quite different from that in another. When cooking different kinds of food, children can also learn about different cultures. Also, children can learn some traditional eating cultures by cooking.

How to color Easter Eggs (复活蛋)? Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how: |
Step 1: Boil the eggs.
Put the eggs in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the eggs. Heat the water until it boils. Cover the pot and take it off the heat. Keep the eggs in the hot water for about 10 minutes and then take them out. Cool the eggs in an ice bath. |
Step 2:Prepare the dyes (染料) Find a bowl that is large enough to hold the eggs. In this bowl, put in 0.5 cups of boiling water, 10 drops of food coloring for each egg and a little white vinegar (醋). Adding more drops of food coloring will result in a stronger color and the vinegar helps make the colors brighter! |
Step 3: Color the eggs. Put the eggs in the bowl and keep them fully in the water at least minutes. Turn them from time to time to make sure all sides get dyed. The longer you leave them in the dyes, the darker the color will be. |
Step 4: Dry the eggs. Place the eggs on paper to allow them to fully dry. If you plan to cat the eggs, keep them in the fridge. Don't leave them out of the fridge for more than 2 hours. |
A. Breathing the air in the city makes you more active. B. Others usually have to wait for the next vacation. C. Being by the sea is also good for our physical health. D. Naturally we often feel so great at the end of a seaside holiday. E. The sound of them can help us relax and feel free from stress. F. And if you take your walks on the beach, this is a lot better. |
We all love spending time by the sea. Some lucky ones might live on the coast and enjoy the benefits all around the year. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Most of us would say we feel healthier by the ocean. In the past, doctors would actually suggest spending time by the sea to their patients. And research has shown that people who live on the coast are more likely to believe their health is good compared to those living in a city. So how do we benefit, exactly?
Well, to start with, it's great for our mental health. Scientists have discovered that we have something called a blue mind. They have shown that watching, listening to the waves or being in the ocean helps our brains slow down. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}This is why people who have trouble sleeping are often told to listen to recordings of the sound of waves hitting the beach to help them relax at bedtime.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}We go out a lot more when we' re on holiday by the sea. We often become more active on holidays and people who live on the coast are usually more active too. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Walking on sand requires more effort than on the pavement. And the sea air is good for people with breathing problems too. There is less pollution in the air near the ocean and in autumn and winter the air is fresher. This is healthier than the dry air in homes with central heating. It has even been found that the chemicals in sea water may help us have healthy skin.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}We look forward so much to having our next one!
