Hi there. I cooked for the first time in a long time. It was very difficult because I don’t usually do it. The taste was so-so, but it's not something I can make people eat. One more thing I have to do my best.

Hi, there! Today [1] I cooked for the first time in a long time. It was very difficult because i don't usually do it. The taste was just so-so, so it's not something I could give to people to eat [2]. One more thing I have to try harder at. [3] Notes: [1] When saying that something happened for the first time in a while, it's natural to say when it happened, so I added "today" - but it should be whenever it happened (yesterday, last week, etc.). This isn't necessary if the time is already clear, but that was not the case here. [2] The phrase "so-so" means average or mediocre, but also often implies that the speaker had hoped for something better. That's why I changed "but" to "so" - because "but" implies a contrast, but here both sides of the sentence are negative. Also, "make people eat" sounds a little like forcing people to eat unwillingly, so I reworded it to sound a bit nicer. 😉 [3] I think you mean that you will keep trying to become a better cook, so I reworded it to express that more clearly. If any of my assumptions were incorrect, let me know. Otherwise, good job - keep it up! 👍

Hi Dear, Some days ago, I cooked for the first time after a long time. It was so difficult for me because I don’t usually do it. The taste was not bad, but it wasn't a delicious meal that people eat. One more thing, after this time I will do my best to cook very well.

Hi there. I cooked for the first time in a long time. It was very difficult because I don’t usually cook. The taste was so-so, so the food probably isn’t for everyone. One more skill I can work on.
I thought you did a great job! I changed “do it”into “cook” because sometimes English is not clear and it sounds a bit more natural or well spoken. I changed but into so because you’re explaining why the food might not be everyone’s preference, and I changed the wording because it sounded a little forceful. Using filler words like probably or perhaps can lighten up the tone. People is technically vague, but English speakers find it to be harsher then words like everyone or everybody. Lastly, the last sentence wasn’t quite right. Instead of thing, I put skill for specificity, and added “I can work on” which is something a lot of people in the US say. I think most of this will come more naturally as your vocabulary grows! Great job overall!
