Cooking for Mom

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking of something special to do for your mom. Everyday your mom makes your breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 1

Preparing a meal for your Mom is pretty simple, but it takes a bit of planning and thought. You will also have to ask your dad or another adult for some help with the shopping and cooking. 2

The best way to start the planning process is to find out which meal your mom would like to be surprised with. Find out what her favorite meal is, and you’re ready to start.

While you are figuring out (想出) what to cook, remember that it is a good idea to keep your plans simple. 3 You can ask your Dad or another adult for suggestions on what you need for a whole meal.
