Read the message from Samuel to his friend James and complete the given task.

Hey James! I hope you're doing well. I was thinking that we should do something fun this weekend. How

about we go for a hike at the nearby national park? It's supposed to be a beautiful trail, and I heard there

are some amazing views from the top. We could bring a picnic lunch and enjoy it while taking in the scenery.

What do you think? We could go on Saturday morning, say around 10 am? It should take us about 3 hours

to complete the trail, so we'll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy our lunch. I think it would be a great

way to get some exercise and fresh air, plus it's always nice to spend some quality time together.

Let me know if you're interested, and we can plan the details together.

What about you?

A: I've always been more drawn to the piano. I love the way you can create such a wide range of sounds
and emotions with it.

B: Yeah, I can see that. But with the violin, there's just something about the way you can make it sing that
really speaks to me.

I would like to learn the violin because of its beautiful, romantic and elegant sound.
I'm more drawn to the piano because it can be used in a variety of genres.
I've always had a soft spot for the violin because of its emotional expressiveness.
