…I took part in a show last week…

Hi Ella!
Thanks for your message. Great to hear from you. Volunteering abroad while travelling sounds like a life-changing adventure!
I’m happy to answer your questions. Personally, I’ve volunteered before, and it was so rewarding! In Russia, lots of young people are into volunteering too. It’s getting popular, and many of us get involved in different events. As for volunteering abroad, if given a chance, I’d go to Thailand. I’m drawn to its awesome culture and breathtaking landscapes, plus helping local communities would be an incredible opportunity.
I’d like to know more about the show. What was the name of the show? What kind of show was it? How many participants were there?
That’s all for now. Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Lucy
