I think we should be able to go fishing every 2 weeks.

My first reason is because we get to go outside and get some fresh air and exercise which is good for our lungs.

Secondly I love eating fish especially when I have caught it myself.

Thirdly if you are lucky enough to have your Uncle helping on the day, he might buy you a yummy ice cream.

That is why I think that we should be able to go fishing every 2 weeks.
