Essay Competition Winners
Bridge and Cambridge University Press essay competition has come to an end. First of all, we would like to thank each one of you, who send us your entries. We were really impressed with the different approaches you took to the topic. Some of you decided to be more serious and analytical; others wrote more personal pieces. We were also pleased with the generally high level of English. And for our writer, Ryan, the essays are a great source for his language corner in Bridge magazine. You can look forward to his explanations of the most common mistakes.
