Sam had never known how to cook. Now she was going to live by herself, so she decided it was time to learn. She bought some cookbooks and watched videos online. She also decided to start with something simple.
The first thing she chose to learn was pasta.
First, she boiled water and cooked the pasta. Then she made a sauce with fresh tomatoes. She added pepper and chili for more flavor, and she sprinkled on some cheese. When it was ready, she ate it. She was excited to try something she made herself. It didn’t taste that good, but it wasn’t horrible. She realized she needed more practice.

回答方式（地道）
Yes, I’d love to. / I’d like to. 好呀，我很愿意。
Sure. / Sounds good. 可以啊/听起来不错。
I’d love to, but I can’t. 我很想去，但不行。
No, thanks. / Not right now. 不用了/现在不想。
注意：回答时常用 I’d（I would），更自然。

说明
It is more sweet than spicy. 这句话的意思是：👉 “这道菜偏甜，不太辣 / 与其说辣，不如说甜。”
more A than B 是一个非常常见、非常口语也很地道的比较结构，意思是： → “与其说是 B，不如说是 A” → “A 的程度大于 B”
所以： more sweet than spicy = 甜味 多于 辣味 = 甜是主味，辣只是轻微存在
实用例子（餐厅高频） It is more mild than strong. → 味道偏淡，不重 It is more salty than spicy. → 偏咸，不辣 It is more sour than sweet. → 偏酸，不甜 It is more crispy than soft. → 比较脆，不软
