A letter to a magazine

Dear Editor,
I am writing about your inspiring person competition. Personally, I think Anaka should win the inspiring person competition.

Living in 2004, Anaka was living in Sri Lanka when a tsunami hit the coast, so she decided to help the people who were affected by it. She has helped many people. Now she works to help animals and people around the world. For me, her most exciting project is called "Make it Green Again." For this project, Anaka made Sri Lanka's first environmental music video to encourage people to think about the environment.

In my view, Anaka is an inspiring person because she's ambitious and helpful. I look up to her because she used to be a normal schoolgirl and now she's changing the world.

For that reason, Anaka should win because she cares about the environment. Thank you for reading this letter.
Yours,
Luke Black
