On that day his father took him to the Childrens Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lins artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, some still unopened. This time Lins parents would let him decide.Lins eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lins family werent poor, they werent rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.The next course to catch his eye was“Language Art”. He didnt even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, to him it couldnt be worse.Then he saw it.“Cooking”sounded like something hed like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.Based on Lins hobby history, his dad had doubts（疑惑），but he agreed. Much to his parents surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practiced at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
