These are good. Any English speaker would understand you. I have a Ukrainian friend who speaks and writes better English than most Americans, and he still sometimes struggles with articles.
We usually put "Lake" before the name of the lake. "I go fishing in Lake Lanier." "I want to sail across Lake Erie."
"The" refers to a specific item among many items. "I want to buy the red shirt." There are other shirts, but I want THAT red one.
"A", "an", and "some" are not specific. "I want to buy a red shirt." I don't have a particular shirt in mind, so ANY red shirt will do.
Also, we and the British use articles differently, but we still understand each other.
I hope that helps.
