질문: Have you ever cooked for others?

Yes, many times. I'm good at cooking because my mother taught me when I was young. The last time I cooked for others was last week for a dinner with friends. It was my best friend's birthday, and he loves dumplings, so we threw him a surprise party. I asked him to come at seven, and when he got there, everyone surprised him. I made around thirty or forty dumplings, and we finished them all. It was really fun.
