For the first sewing project we made a simple bag, To make the bag ,we had to learn to use the sewing machine. Projects are easy in Grades 6 and 7, but become harder and harder gradually. In Grade 8,we have to use what we’ve learned in Grades 6 and 7 (and maybe some new things, too) to put together an even more difficult project. The cooking part is usually our favorite. We learn about the ingredients(原料)，like flour and baking soda (发酵粉)，and what they are used for. The teacher tells us how to use them. Then, we learn how to measure (估量) ingredients. But, sometimes, we have to guess the right measurements with our own eyes. There are many groups in the cooking class. Each group has a small kitchen to work in. We use the equipment(设备)in the kitchen to make all kinds of food. Some of the food smells good and tastes delicious. Other food made by the students is too terrible to eat! Later, we need to wash and dry dishes and clean up the kitchen. It is our duty. After all, it’s not all fun! ( )26. In which class do we use needle? A. English. B. Sewing class. C. Cooking class. D.
