B: I've already got a necklace for you, honey.
A: I know, thank you, honey, but it's not enough. I want to make this birthday special.
C: Then what do you have in mind, mom?
A: Well, I want each of you to cook at least one dish for me.There are many kinds of food in the refrigerator in the kitchen. You can use them freely. And the tableware and utensils are in the cupboard.
C: No problem, mum. We can do that. I can bake bread in the toaster.
D: I can make rice in the automatic rice cooker.
B: I can prepare paper towel and set the table with dishes and bowls.
A: No. Since it's my birthday, I have the last word. All of you have to cook dishes in the pot with the apron and chopping board by using the gas furnace. And also you have to use seasoning.
B: Um... honey, it's too difficult for us. Could you make it a little easier?

B:我已经送你一条项链了啊，亲爱的。
A:我知道，谢谢你，亲爱的.但是那不够啊。我想让这次的生日特别点。
C:你有什么想法，妈?
A:我想让你们每个人都至少为我做一道菜。厨房冰箱里有很多食物。你们可以随便用。餐具和器具都在碗柜里。
C:没问题，妈妈。我们能做到。我可以用烘烤机烤面包。
D:我可以用电饭锅煮米饭。
B:我可以准备纸巾，还有把碗和菜摆在桌子上。

B:呢，亲爱的。这对我们来讲太难了。你就不能来点简单的吗?
A:没门儿。我想让你们也体验下我每天做的事情。不要浪费时间了，别在我生口的时候让我失望啊。你知道的，今天是我的生日。
B，C&D:好吧，我们试试.
