Ella's Cooking Hobby and Japanese Cooking Course

Ella enjoys cooking international food, including Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian cuisine. She learns through library books, television programs, and a Japanese cooking course she took at the college.

The course culminated in a large party where the students cooked various Japanese dishes and invited their family and friends.

Music Technology Course and Musical Instruments

The interviewer is currently taking a music technology course at the college, learning how to record music and set up microphones at concerts. He used to play the violin and was quite good, but he doesn't like classical music, preferring rock music. He attempted to learn the guitar but was unsuccessful.

This led him to pursue music technology, allowing him to enjoy rock music without playing an instrument.

The discussion also touches on the enjoyment of attending concerts, albeit constrained by their expense.
