Hi Chai!

Looks like you have task 1 done OK.

There are two ways to handle task 2, like this:

# Task 1
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ")

# Task 2
print( "The color {} is a great color!".format(favorite_color) )

# Or this (2nd way to handle Task 2):
# print( f"the color {favorite_color} is a great color!" )

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
