Admirar needs a preposition in your sentence.

The verb cocinó is in the preterite tense. Your sentence is using the present tense in English, so use the present tense in Spanish.
Try another word for food. Think meals. The word you chose describes food that you buy (groceries), not the food you have for a meal.

taught
(past tense of teach)
Look up teach and apply proper conjugation to get taught.

English students
(students English)
Make sure you match gender and number when translating the adjective English.
Don't forget to use definite articles before chino and estudiantes.

The preposition 'to' is one you've used several times.

There's nothing wrong with using ser in the last sentence you wrote. Good job!
