Sarah Karoline Here's my first draft:
Big fish are worthwhile fishing, even if they are not caught.

Incidentally, one of the marking systems used is as follows:
[ ] wrong word.
{ } wrong form/gender/tense/spelling/ending.
[....] a word is missing.

Of course, you can make up your own or explain in sentences :)

Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline That was pure luck! :D I may have used a bit of poetic licence on the word "fishing". I found other meanings of the verb...
