However, cooking is a skill that everyone needs sooner or later.<sup>BACKGROUND<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt th\">Every teenager should learn to cook because it saves money, leads to healthier eating, and builds independence.<sup>THESIS<\/sup><\/span><\/p> <p><span class=\"pt ts\">First, learning to cook saves money.<sup>TOPIC SENTENCE<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt sd\">A meal at a restaurant usually costs much more than the same meal made at home. For example, a pizza from a restaurant might cost twenty dollars, but a homemade pizza costs only a few dollars for flour, sauce, and cheese.<sup>SUPPORTING DETAILS<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt cs\">Clearly, cooking at home keeps more money in your pocket.<sup>CONCLUDING SENTENCE<\/sup><\/span><\/p> <p><span class=\"pt ts\">In addition, people who cook usually eat healthier food.<sup>TOPIC SENTENCE<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt sd\">When you cook, you choose exactly what goes into your meal. You can add more vegetables and use less salt, sugar, and oil.<sup>SUPPORTING DETAILS<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt cs\">Because of this, cooking is an easy way to take care of your health.<sup>CONCLUDING SENTENCE<\/sup><\/span><\/p> <p><span class=\"pt ts\">Finally, cooking helps teenagers become more independent.<sup>TOPIC SENTENCE<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt sd\">In a few years, many students will move away from home for college or work. Those who can make simple meals will not have to depend on fast food or on their parents.<sup>SUPPORTING DETAILS<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt cs\">In short, cooking is an important step toward taking care of yourself.<sup>CONCLUDING SENTENCE<\/sup><\/span><\/p> <p><span class=\"pt th\">In conclusion, learning to cook is one of the most useful skills a teenager can have.<sup>THESIS RESTATED<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt sm\">It saves money, supports healthy eating, and prepares young people to live on their own.<sup>SUMMARY<\/sup><\/span> <span class=\"pt ft\">So the next time someone is making dinner at home, ask if you can help. You might discover a skill you will use for the rest of your life.<sup>FINAL THOUGHT<\/sup><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/section> <section class=\"ls-part\" id=\"ws-intro\"><div class=\"eet-in\"> <div class=\"ls-head eet-rv\"><span class=\"ls-tag\">Step 3<\/span><div><h2>Start strong: five ways to begin<\/h2><p>\u5e8f\u8ad6\u306e\u66f8\u304d\u51fa\u30575\u30d1\u30bf\u30fc\u30f3 &middot; Your first sentence is the hook.
