    Today, I attempted cooking for the first time. I wanted to make pasta. I had never cooked before, so I was both nervous and excited about the process. I carefully prepared all the ingredients and made sure I had everything ready before I started.

    Firstly, I boiled the water. I watched it closely until it started bubbling, then I added the pasta and stirred it well to prevent it from sticking together. The smell of boiling water and pasta was surprisingly comforting.

    After a little while, I poured some sauce over the cooked pasta. The color and aroma made it look so delicious. I felt a sense of accomplishment even before tasting it.

    When I did taste it, I found it was a bit salty, but it still tasted good. My first cooking attempt was a success. I felt very proud of myself for trying something new and doing it well.

    That’s all for the listening content of a beginner English reading practice article collected by Xiao Wu from qicai.net. I hope you gain something from listening!
