When can I use "kick it up a notch"? Informal? I looked up the urban dictionary and got the meaning. It's like someone's throwing a party but it gets boring, so a host says "let's kick it up a notch" which means let's make it fun. Is it right? Can I use it in writing?

Speaking Test I'd appreciate if you listen to my answer below to the question and tell me how it sounds in terms of pronunciation, intonation and grammar things like that. Thank you :) Question: Do you agree or disagree with following statement? "Everyone should learn how to cook." Use your specific reasons and exapmles to support your answer.(1min) My answer: I personally diasgree with the opinion that everyone should learn how to cook. First of all, if you can afford to buy food for every meals, you literally don't need to cook yourself. You can go have your meals at a restaurant or just have your food delivered to your home if possible. Second, If you really don't want to learn how to cook because you're such a lazy person, then you can just get married to someone who loves to cook with your undivied attention or if it comes to be difficult to get married, you can hire a professional chef paying hundreds of dollars for it or live with your parents till you get tired of their food.
