Daming:I managed OK at home alone, although I missed them.What about you?

Betty:Well, I depend on my mother for so many things that I found it difficult.I’m so bad at cooking that I burnt everything.

Betty:Then what did you do?

Daming:Well, I went shopping! I bought so much food that I could hardly carry it home!

Betty:Did you cook for yourself?

Daming:Yes, I did.Although I already knew how to make some simple dishes, I called my grandmother for some advice.What did you do when you burnt your food?

Betty:I ate at the student restaurant, but the food wasn’t very good.
