Zhao Ming had always been interested in cooking, but he never thought he could turn this interest into a professional skill. When he entered vocational high school, he chose to study cooking because he believed it was something he could do well. In his second year, his teacher told the class about a city-level cooking competition for vocational school students. Zhao Ming decided to take part in it.
Preparing for the competition was not easy. Zhao Ming had to practice every day after school. He spent hours learning how to cut vegetables more quickly and neatly, how to control the heat when cooking, and how to present dishes beautifully. His teacher, Chef Wang, was very strict but also very supportive. "A good cook," Chef Wang often said, "is not someone who never makes mistakes, but someone who learns from every mistake."
The competition day finally arrived. Zhao Ming felt both excited and nervous when he walked into the kitchen. There were more than fifty students from different schools. He took a deep breath and began to work. He chose to make a dish called "Golden Harvest" — fried rice with eggs, vegetables and shrimp. It was a simple dish, but Zhao Ming believed that a simple dish made perfectly could be better than a complicated one made poorly.
When the results were announced, Zhao Ming could hardly believe his ears. He won second place. On the way home, he called his parents and they were very proud of him. Looking back, Zhao Ming realized that the competition had taught him something more important than a prize. It had taught him that passion, hard work, and confidence could help him achieve things he had never thought possible. "Every skill," he wrote in his diary, "is a door to a bigger world."

B. Only talented people can become good cooks.

Liu Fang is a senior student at Dongfang Vocational School. Last summer, she completed a one-month internship at a large supermarket. She worked as a cashier at first, but later she was also asked to help at the customer service desk. It was her first real work experience, and she learned much more than she had expected.
On her first day, Liu Fang was very nervous. She was afraid of making mistakes when handling money. Her supervisor, Ms. Zhang, was patient and showed her how to use the cash register step by step. "Everyone makes mistakes at the beginning," Ms. Zhang told her. "The important thing is to learn from them and not to make the same mistake twice." By the end of the first week, Liu Fang could handle most transactions on her own.
The second week brought a new challenge. A customer came to the service desk with a complaint about a broken product. Liu Fang had to deal with the situation. She remembered what she had learned in her customer service class at school: listen carefully, say sorry politely, and offer a solution. She did exactly that and the customer left with a smile. Her manager praised her and said she showed great professional skills.
During the last week, Liu Fang was asked to train a new intern. She felt proud to be able to teach someone else. She realized that she had not only learned how to do a job but also how to work as part of a team. Her colleagues said she was a good team player and always willing to help.
When the internship ended, Liu Fang received a certificate and an offer to work part-time at the supermarket. She felt grateful for the opportunity.

In today's world, having professional skills is no longer just an advantage — it is a necessity. More and more companies are looking for workers who not only have knowledge but also can put that knowledge into use in real situations. For vocational school students, this means that sharpening their skills is one of the most important things they can do to prepare for the future.
One way to sharpen skills is through internships. An internship gives students a chance to work in a real company and learn from experienced workers. During an internship, students can see how the things they learned at school are related to actual work. For example, a student who studied accounting can learn how to use accounting software in a real office. An internship also helps students build confidence. When they successfully complete tasks, they begin to believe in their own abilities.
Competitions are another effective way to improve skills. Whether it is a cooking competition, a public speaking contest, or a computer skills challenge, competitions push students to do their best. They learn to work under pressure, manage their time, and cooperate with teammates. Even if they do not win, the experience of preparing for and taking part in a competition is valuable.
Volunteer work also plays an important role in skill development. By volunteering at community centers, hospitals, or charity organizations, students can develop communication skills, learn to deal with different kinds of people, and understand the importance of teamwork. Volunteer work may not be paid, but the experience and skills gained from it are priceless.
In conclusion, sharpening skills is a lifelong journey. Whether through internships, competitions, or volunteer work, every opportunity to learn and practice is a step forward. As the saying goes, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." And to love what you do, you must first sharpen your skills.

【参考范文】
Last semester, I took part in a cooking competition organized by our school. It was a wonderful experience that helped me sharpen my professional skills. I practised very hard every day after class, learning how to cut vegetables more quickly and cook dishes more beautifully.
Through this competition, I improved not only my cooking skills but also my confidence. At first, I was very nervous about cooking in front of the judges. But as I kept practising, I became more and more confident. I also learned how to cooperate with my teammates. We helped each other and made progress together.
I strongly believe that practice makes perfect. No one becomes an expert overnight. Every skill takes time and effort to develop. As long as we keep practising and never give up, we can always become better.

Zhao Ming had always been interested in cooking, but he never thought he could turn this interest into a professional skill. When he entered vocational high school, he chose to study cooking because he believed it was something he could do well. In his second year, his teacher told the class about a city-level cooking competition for vocational school students. Zhao Ming decided to take part in it.
Preparing for the competition was not easy. Zhao Ming had to practice every day after school. He spent hours learning how to cut vegetables more quickly and neatly, how to control the heat when cooking, and how to present dishes beautifully. His teacher, Chef Wang, was very strict but also very supportive. "A good cook," Chef Wang often said, "is not someone who never makes mistakes, but someone who learns from every mistake."
The competition day finally arrived. Zhao Ming felt both excited and nervous when he walked into the kitchen. There were more than fifty students from different schools. He took a deep breath and began to work. He chose to make a dish called "Golden Harvest" — fried rice with eggs, vegetables and shrimp. It was a simple dish, but Zhao Ming believed that a simple dish made perfectly could be better than a complicated one made poorly.
When the results were announced, Zhao Ming could hardly believe his ears. He won second place. On the way home, he called his parents and they were very proud of him. Looking back, Zhao Ming realized that the competition had taught him something more important than a prize. It had taught him that passion, hard work, and confidence could help him achieve things he had never thought possible. "Every skill," he wrote in his diary, "is a door to a bigger world."
21. Why did Zhao Ming choose to study cooking in vocational high school?
A. His parents forced him to choose it.
B. He believed he could do well in it.
C. It was the only course available at his school.
D. He wanted to open a restaurant immediately.
22. What did Zhao Ming NOT practice for the competition?
A. Cutting vegetables quickly and neatly.
B. Controlling the heat when cooking.
C. Presenting dishes beautifully.
D. Writing a menu in English.
23. What does Chef Wang's saying suggest about learning a skill?
A. Good cooks never make any mistakes.
B. Only talented people can become good cooks.
C. Learning from mistakes is an important part of improvement.
D. Students should not enter competitions too early.
24. Why did Zhao Ming choose to make a simple dish for the competition?
A. He believed a simple dish made well could be better than a complex one made poorly.
B. He did not know how to make any complicated dishes.
C. The competition rules required all students to make simple dishes.
D. His teacher told him to make the easiest dish possible.
25. What is the most important lesson Zhao Ming learned from the competition?
A. Winning a prize is the only goal of a competition.
B. Cooking is a skill that cannot be improved through practice.
C. Passion, hard work and confidence can help achieve unexpected things.
D. It is better to avoid competitions because they make people nervous.
C
Liu Fang is a senior student at Dongfang Vocational School. Last summer, she completed a one-month internship at a large supermarket. She worked as a cashier at first, but later she was also asked to help at the customer service desk. It was her first real work experience, and she learned much more than she had expected.
On her first day, Liu Fang was very nervous. She was afraid of making mistakes when handling money. Her supervisor, Ms. Zhang, was patient and showed her how to use the cash register step by step. "Everyone makes mistakes at the beginning," Ms. Zhang told her. "The important thing is to learn from them and not to make the same mistake twice." By the end of the first week, Liu Fang could handle most transactions on her own.
The second week brought a new challenge. A customer came to the service desk with a complaint about a broken product. Liu Fang had to deal with the situation. She remembered what she had learned in her customer service class at school: listen carefully, say sorry politely, and offer a solution. She did exactly that and the customer left with a smile. Her manager praised her and said she showed great professional skills.
During the last week, Liu Fang was asked to train a new intern. She felt proud to be able to teach someone else. She realized that she had not only learned how to do a job but also how to work as part of a team. Her colleagues said she was a good team player and always willing to help.
When the internship ended, Liu Fang received a certificate and an offer to work part-time at the supermarket. She felt grateful for the opportunity. "The internship," she said, "was the best classroom I have ever had. It helped me put what I learned at school into use and gave me real confidence in my abilities."

In today's world, having professional skills is no longer just an advantage — it is a necessity. More and more companies are looking for workers who not only have knowledge but also can put that knowledge into use in real situations. For vocational school students, this means that sharpening their skills is one of the most important things they can do to prepare for the future.
One way to sharpen skills is through internships. An internship gives students a chance to work in a real company and learn from experienced workers. During an internship, students can see how the things they learned at school are related to actual work. For example, a student who studied accounting can learn how to use accounting software in a real office. An internship also helps students build confidence. When they successfully complete tasks, they begin to believe in their own abilities.
Competitions are another effective way to improve skills. Whether it is a cooking competition, a public speaking contest, or a computer skills challenge, competitions push students to do their best. They learn to work under pressure, manage their time, and cooperate with teammates. Even if they do not win, the experience of preparing for and taking part in a competition is valuable.
Volunteer work also plays an important role in skill development. By volunteering at community centers, hospitals, or charity organizations, students can develop communication skills, learn to deal with different kinds of people, and understand the importance of teamwork. Volunteer work may not be paid, but the experience and skills gained from it are priceless.
In conclusion, sharpening skills is a lifelong journey. Whether through internships, competitions, or volunteer work, every opportunity to learn and practice is a step forward. As the saying goes, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." And to love what you do, you must first sharpen your skills.
