Dear Robert,

Thanks for your email message. I always like getting them from you! Congratulations on moving to a new town!

Now, let me answer your questions. I definitely noticed some changes in my city recently. It has become cleaner and a lot of old houses have been reconstructed. I like the changes as local authorities are making the city more beatiful and pleasant both for tourists and regular citizens.

Anyway, you've mentioned the cooking competition. What dishes did your mum make for the competition? How many participants were there? What prize did your mother get?

Well, I’d better go now as I have to cook dinner. Take care and keep in touch!

Lots of love,
Marina
