En: The lavender field blazed under the summer sun, illuminating everything around with a rich purple color. Uk: Повітря було наповнене ароматом квітів, який приємно поєднувався зі звуками місцевого фестивалю. En: The air was filled with the scent of flowers, pleasantly mingling with the sounds of the local festival. Uk: Весь натовп кружляв між рядами лаванди, вибираючи найкрасивіші квіти.
