My name is Salas. I live in a small village with my family. I live with my sister Lina. Our home is near a small farm. I love my village because it is peaceful and I can enjoy nature.

I have a big dream. I want to be a cook in a five-star hotel one day. My idols are Chef Chanrith (Shinta Mani/Siem Reap), and Chef Reza (Amanjiwo/Borobudur). I love making food for people. I want to cook tasty meals and make guests happy. I also want to be a cook who cares about the Earth.

I want to keep sustainability as the most important thing in my work. I want to use fresh food, save water, and not waste food. I want to use food from local farms and help farmers.

I learn many things for my dream. At home, I help my family in the kitchen. I wash vegetables, clean the kitchen, and help cook simple meals. I go to school and learn English because I want to talk with guests. I work hard every day because I want to become a great cook in the future.

Remember how babies learn a language:

Babies learn a language by listening.
They use their ears to hear sounds.
Their brain remembers these sounds.
Babies connect sounds with people and things.
They listen to their parents.
Then they copy the sounds they hear. They imitate words.
Slowly, babies learn to speak.

So,
LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN………………
