to explore your creativity through various recipes and flavours. Plus, you can enjoy the delicious
treats you make afterward. Baking also offers opportunities for learning new techniques and skills.
You could try making cookies, cupcakes, or even bread. Have a wonderful time exploring the

Dear Sarah,

I suggest you try reading books. Reading upgrades vocabulary and critical thinking. Through
interesting stories, you can broaden your language skills and understanding of the world. For
example, reading historical novels provides insights into different eras, while science fiction
sparks imagination and curiosity. Moreover, books offer an escape and relaxation, helping you
to relax after a busy day. Immerse yourself in the captivating world of literature and enjoy the
benefits it brings to your language development and personal growth. Please let me know if you
have start reading an interesting book.
