When was the last time you made something with your hands, and how did it turn out?

A natural way to answer

A few days ago I baked some cookies and decorated them. It was simple, but it was fun to do. They didn't turn out perfect, but they tasted good.

Key phrases to use

• give it a go — tried to do something, especially something new or a bit difficult“I'd never knitted before, but I gave it a go.”
• turn out — end up in a particular way, or have a particular result“I wasn't sure about the cake, but it turned out great.”
