Question

Describe something that you are interested to learn or improve

Answer 1

You can base on the task “Describe a skill that is difficult for you to learn” that I used to do. They have a similarity since they are both required to describe people. As a result, they can be linked without interruption.

So when it comes to this topic, which is about something that I fascinate to improve, the first thing that immediately pops up in my mind at the present is the cooking skill. It sounds embarrassing that I am not good at cooking, I mean I am a clumsy person so cooking is like my horrible nightmare. I still remember vividly this one time I cut myself when doing cooking, and from that moment, I have never cooked again. 

But I cannot shy away from it forever, I have to learn this, you know, I have to grow and live on my own and have my beloved family in the future. So, I decided to ask my mom to teach me how to cook like her a couple of weeks ago. I expected I can be successful the first time with lots of delicious dishes, but it was totally a culinary disaster. The soup was too salty, the rice was not done enough, and the chicken was too sweet. I guess it would be because of my mistake of choosing the wrong flavour.

So yeah, I think I will practice it tonight after a busy day. Since today is so stressful, I need to do something to rewind and recharge my battery and also practice my skill, so I will ask my mom to let me cook dinner all by myself. This time, I will be more careful when searching for the online recipe as well as using the right flavours. You know, it was enough for the bad experience that my family had. But I am not confident so I will not think I will come back with vengeance, it will just be a time for me to practice more. 

So yeah, maybe my skill is not completed 100% but I hope that I will become more skilful than my mom and can cook without hesitation anymore.

Answer 2

I have a long desire to learn how to play the piano. Even after my desire and passion, I have not been able to learn it. If I ever get the time and opportunity to learn it, I would grab the chance.

 

I am not sure exactly when this passion grew in me, but I can guess it was something that came in my mind after I saw a foreign movie where an actor played this instrument. The movie was related to a musician's life and he mostly played the piano and sang songs.

 

In the movie, the actor played the piano 3-4 times and the quality of the music was really good. Possibly from that time, the passion started to grow in my mind. I work as a computer programmer and have no intention to do any serious type of music, but I want to learn to play the piano. If I get spare time and my schedule allows me, I will get admitted in a piano lesson in my city. Not many opportunities are there but I heard that there are 2/3 musicians who teach enthusiast people the piano for a high payment. I will probably get admitted to such a program and would keep learning.

 

I will need to save around $1000 to get admitted into the piano lesson and hopefully will have this amount at the end of next year. Then I will talk to the musicians who offer the lesson and would pick one to learn from. I'll allow me to be free at least 2 days in a week to participate in the lesson and I would practice at least for an hour daily. I know it takes a great determination, passion and talent to learn a creative thing like piano, but I believe, I will be able to achieve it.
