BAND 8.0 SAMPLE ANSWER:

Since I was very small, I have had a special interest in cooking. So, it is no surprise that, now that I have grown up, I dream of having an oven with rings for cooking on top, which is very popular overseas. In my country, this kind of oven is only sold at big appliance stores.
Different from a normal oven, this one provides more stable and exact temperatures, which is a critical factor in baking. Besides, this has four oven top elements, which is highly convenient because it allows you to cook and bake at the same time. It also saves a lot of space in your kitchen as it is free-standing. Another feature that I would like the oven to have is a self-cleaning system. If you cook frequently, you will definitely appreciate this facility. It is inevitable that when you cook, your oven/cooker will get dirty. As a result, with the self-cleaning feature, it is much easier for us to clean.
