3. 需匹配“尝汤”的工具；
4. 需描述祖父母的身份；
5. 需对应“妈妈”的身份；

【解析】
1. 句意：我们应该知道如何把垃圾分成不同的组。固定短语separate...into...意为“把……分成……”，符合语境，故填separate。
2. 句意：她天生有音乐天赋。固定搭配be born with意为“天生具有”，故填born。
3. 句意：请递给我一把勺子，我想尝尝汤。根据“taste the soup”可知需要勺子，故填spoon。
4. 句意：我的祖父母是幸福的夫妇，他们彼此非常相爱。couple表示“夫妇”，符合语境，故填couple。
5. 句意：她不仅是一位好妻子，还是一位有爱心的妈妈。wife表示“妻子”，与后面的mother对应，故填wife。
6. 句意：海南是中国南方的一个美丽岛屿。island表示“岛屿”，符合常识，故填island。

The smell of my mum's cooking is very comforting. The warm air in the kitchen makes me feel happy because I know something delicious is coming.
I still remember how I fell in love with my mum's cooking. As a kid, I was a picky eater and didn't like trying new foods. But one day after school, my mum was making a new dish. The smell was amazing. I wasn't sure about the taste, but I tried it and loved it.
Over the years, I have watched her cook many times. She always cares about the little things and makes each meal with patience. She tastes the sauce before using it and adds a little salt if needed. She also puts the food nicely on the plate.
I love the taste, but I also love the memories each dish brings. My favourite memory is helping my mum in the kitchen during holidays. These moments teach me patience and the joy of making something with love.
