阅读短文，回答下列问题。
A young cheese maker
Sixteen-year-old Pat has a different hobby. She makes cheese on the family farm in Australia. She began by making yoghurt(酸奶) with her mother when she was little. Then she started watching her father's workers make cheese. When she was ten, she made some cheese herself for the first time. "It wasn't great at the beginning," she says. "But the workers told me what I was doing wrong. I tried hard day and night, and I slowly got better."
Pat always needs good milk for her cheese, but she doesn't have to buy it. Her parents keep about 100 cows on their farm. Pat can just ask them when she needs more. Last year, Pat's neighbour gave her a young cow to keep and look after, but it doesn't produce milk to make cheese yet.
Pat helped her family create many kinds of cheese. This year they won a prize for one of them. "Last month we started selling cheese in New Zealand. People there read about our prize in a food magazine. Soon we're going to do some advertisements(广告) too."
Pat's next idea is to post some recipes(烹饪法) for cooking with cheese on the internet such as having cheese with eggs for breakfast. She also thinks that people can eat cheese with pasta(意大利面). "I hope a restaurant might buy some one day," she says. But right now Pat is still at school.
"Making cheese is fun and winning a prize for it is great, but doing well in my studies is more important now."
