Hi Rob,

That's great news. First of all, let me congratulate you on winning the competition. To tell you the truth I knew you would win. You are such a good writer. And the price is awesome. I understand your hesitation. However, whatever place you choose, I'm sure you'll have a great time there.

But you asked for my opinion. Let me then tell you what I like about Florida. I love all these activities you'll be doing in the open air. Swimming and surfing are what I like most. And doing archery, just think of it. You can actually learn shooting a bow. I wish I were there. You can also visit Disneyland. Although I know you are not into Disney cartoons, but adults can have lots of fun there too with all those rides.  I have been in Disneyland and I think it's worth visiting. Last but not the least, the weather is always sunny in Florida. And you know I'm a person who loves the sun. So it's definitely an advantage for me.

As for London, It's a city full of history. And everything they propose -  sightseeing, art galleries and museums - is also great. But all those places are quite popular with tourists. So they are too crowded for my taste.

So you got what you asked - my opinion. I would go to sunny Florida and do all those sports outdoors if I were in your shoes.

Have a great time, Rob.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Объяснение:

Let me introduce myself. My name is Igor. I’m sixteen years old. I’m at 10-th grade. I’m tall, slender, dark-haired boy with blue eyes.

I live in Kiev. I have a brother and a sister. My elder brother Sergey is twenty, he studies at the Kiev National University, and he will be a lawyer. My younger sister Olga is ten, she studies at school. By the way, we have one more member of our family, cat Ryzhik. We love him very much.

My Mum is forty-two, she is a Spanish teacher. My Dad is forty-five, he is a computer programmer.

My grandparents are already retired. My Grandma likes gardening, and Grandpa likes fishing. They live in our city and visit us at weekends.

I have many friends. We spend a lot of time together. We play football, volleyball, basketball. In summer we like swimming in river and lakes.

Besides school, I go in for sports. I play tennis. It’s exciting game, and I like it very much. Sometimes I take part in different tennis competition.

Soon I will graduate a school and I have to choose a profession. However, I have many interests and hobbies, for example, sports, travelling, music, so it’s not so easy to choose an occupation. My parents want me to be a computer programmer, like my Dad.

But I’m not sure because I’m not very good in mathematics. I like computer games, I like to surf the Net, to communicate with people in different social nets and forums. I even have my own blog. But I don’t want a computer programming to be my profession. Also I like tennis, but I don’t want to be a professional sportsman. You can ask me, why? Because I have another passion!

I’m fond of travelling so I’d like to work for a tour company. I dream to visit all countries throughout the world and to see all sightseeings and great places. I hope my dreams will come true!
