Hi Flora!
Thanks for your email. Great to hear from you.
I’m excited to answer your questions. Contests and competitions are so much fun! Personally, I enjoy singing in talent shows and sometimes trying my luck in art competitions. Even if I haven’t won first prize yet, it’s all about the joy of doing what I love! I guess some people like contests and competitions because it’s a chance to show their talents, challenge themselves, or just have fun and a good time.
I’m curious about the lake. Where is it located? How big is it? Is it really a popular spot for fishing?
Write back soon, and take care!
Best wishes,
Yaroslava
