Read the article about a girl who took part in a TV cookery competition. You will receive up to 6 marks for the content of your summary, and up to 6 marks for the style and accuracy of your language. I've always loved cooking, and this summer I had one of the best experiences in my life - I took part in Kids can cook! a TV cookery competition. The competition has only been running for three years, but if you love cooking too, why not try to enter next year? There are a few things you need to be aware of, like, for example, the fact that you can only apply once. That means I can't take part again in the future, but you could! The application is actually quite a complicated process, and takes a lot of time. Your recipe has to be original, and an additional requirement is that the dish you prepare contains healthy ingredients. If the competition organisers like it, you are then invited for an interview. This summer, more than 300 people applied, and 40 of those, including me, were interviewed. They asked me lots of questions about my recipe and how long each step would take, because you must be able to create your dish in less than 60 minutes. Anyway, I was one of the lucky 12 who got through to the actual competition! The competition itself took place in the TV studios, which were amazing! The people there were all so friendly, which was lucky as I felt really nervous on the way there. Though once I was in the kitchen and I had met the judges, I felt much better. What they want to see is how confident you are in the kitchen, as well as how good your skills are. I had spent weeks practising my recipe before the competition, so I knew I could do it in the time allowed. When the time is up, you present your food to the judges. Not only should your dish taste nice, it should look good too. The judges were impressed with my dish, and gave me some useful tips as well. In the end I came third, but I was just thrilled that l'd been able to take part! . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
