The audio review has some mistakes.  Among them, the sentence

我们家都是我太太烧饭。

is read as

我们家都是我太太做饭。

Are 做饭 and 烧饭 completely synonymous?  Is one more common than the other?  I would imagine that 烧 can only refer to things that are cooked, so if someone was rolling sushi rolls for dinner, it wouldn't be 烧饭 right?

John mentioned that 救护车 is ambulance in mainland China.  Is there a different word in Taiwan?
