First,she cooked by my side,then alone with timings and instructions.Finally,she went alone against the clock.The kitchen looked like a battlefield,but she had gained victory.The tiny be-capped figure then stood in an unknown Bristol hotel£50 and the most valuable part of them all:confidence.【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的女儿参加了一个以让孩子回归厨房为目的的烹饪比赛为此孩子努力学习烹饪虽然最后没有赢得比赛但却赢得了信心。________.
