You: Mr. Wing, can you teach me how to make sweet and sour ribs?
Artem: Why are you asking about that all of a sudden?
You: I want to learn how to cook!
You: Can you teach me your best dish?
Artem: Of course. It's an easy dish to make.
You: I want to learn how to cook, so that I can show off to my friends!
Artem: Sure. It's an easy easy dish to make.
Artem: I believe you'll be able to learn just by watching.
You: It's that easy? I'm afraid I won't be able to control the temperature well.
Artem: Don't worry. It's not hard.
Artem: I will show you how to do it step-by-step.
You: But, I heard that it's hard to learn how to use a knife, so I never really tried...
Artem: Don't worry. You'll be fine with a little practice.
Artem: I will slowly demonstrate it for you to see.
You: Don't give up on me if it turns out bad...
Artem: Don't underestimate yourself.
Artem: I believe you will do a great job if you put your mind to it
You: I'm ready to give my best!!
Artem: This isn't a mock exam. Take it easy.
Artem: I'm looking forward to trying it.
You: Then, you'll have to give me some feedback on the sweet and sour ribs I make.
Artem: I will be serious with my feedback.
You: Then... I guess I'll practice some more...
Artem: Relax...
Artem: I'm sure your cooking will taste amazing.

You: I didn't expect you to be such a great cook.
Artem: I'm not. I only know bit about it here and there.
Artem: Where did that come from?
You: I've been thinking about your cooking ever since the company retreat.
Artem: If you like my cooking, I can cook for you again some other time.
Artem: I'll show you my best dishes.
You: I'm just curious about who taught you to cook.
Artem: My mentor, Professor Neil Hume, taught me to cook.
Artem: After I moved out, I devoted more time to it so that I could eat healthily.
Artem: He also taught me my best dish. Are you... interested to try?
You: Let me guess... Is it steak?
Artem: Close. It's sweet and sour ribs.
You: You look like someone who likes Chinese food! Am I right?
Artem: I'm amazed. It's sweet and sour ribs.
Artem: I really enjoy it so I make it often. Over time, it became my best dish.
Artem: How about you? Do you like it?
Artem: I mean, sweet and sour dishes in general.
You: Yeah, I like food that's a little sweet.
Artem: Good. I didn't expect our tastes to be so similar.
Artem: Then, this weekend...
You: Actually, I like food that's a little on the saltier side.
Artem: I can make most homestyle dishes. Pick whatever you like.
Artem: If you're free this weekend, why don't we...
You: Wow, I get to have it this weekend?
You: Count me in! How's Saturday?
Artem: Saturday is good. I'll pick you up.
Artem: We can also go to the grocery store to pick up other things as well.
Artem: I'm happy to cook for you.
You: Oh... but I have to work this weekend...
Artem: How about this? I'll prepare the dishes at home, then bring them over to the office.
Artem: You only ever order junk food when left to your own devices.
Artem: Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. We're partners. It's my responsibility to take care of you.
