Nowadays people become more and more busy.  They are so busy that they have no     to cook. This becomes     problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone  . In some families, the meal time is often the only time everyone sees one another at the   time.
Another reason people    home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent     makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child’s sweet teeth. He or she is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in fifteen minutes   I let you.”
There is also something    the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us     good and we realize that we are loved by others, even if we are the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay    to your mood.

Have you ever been having a great day when suddenly a past mistake comes into your head? Here are some ideas on forgetting your past mistakes and moving forward in life.
You should let the mistakes in the past go away. You are not defined (界定) by your past mistakes. A mistake is just something that has happened in your life. And mistakes are only a small part of your life. You made mistakes because you thought something was the best for you. However, now you know clearly that it wasn’t the best.
Work out why you keep making the same mistake. It is important for you to learn why you keep making the same mistake. There are many ways to do this. For example, you can try to find out the cause(原因) of this mistake in order to learn more about it. To look into something deeply is very important.
See what you have learned from the experience. After you have learned why you made the mistake, you should think about what you have learned from it. Maybe you recognize that you should have listened to your heart. Or maybe you need to forgive(原谅) yourself for a mistake that you made a few days ago.
