Review Letter 1

You included your name @ your address

You forgot to include: (The) Netherlands

You did not list everything on the left side of the page

Date should be: 21 November 2024 OR November 21st, 2024

This letter should be addressed to: Dear Reader, / Representative, because there was no person to write to specifically. Dear Amazon, is wrong.

Did you use paragraphs?

Were you polite~ish?

Did you use contractions? I’m -> I am, wasn’t -> was not, etc.

Ik = always with a capital -> I, so are days and months (December).

 You forgot a sentence to finish your letter with, in which you (clearly) indicate what you would like the other person to do.

 Although it is not wrong, Yours Sincerely / Truly / Faithfully is quite old-school. Kind Regards, is much more modern.

 Autograph included?

 Added Your Name? 

Review Letter 1

Grammar and spelling:

A car / an apple -> so many of you have difficulties with their articles

Ik = niet i, maar I (hoofdletter)

A LOT of spelling mistakes that a computer will fix for you when you type things, but show up in writing -> bring a dictionary!

Don’t / can’t / I’m / we’re – all a lot of fun, but not allowed in formal writing

Things I cannot read – sometimes deliberately – are spelling mistakes. There will be enough time to write a decent version of your letter in the test week

Dit i mansion parrotgraves? Separate your letter into paragraphs.

I read. A lot of. Short sentences. And that is annoying. Vary with the length of your sentences. Instead of: I am Bob. I am sixteen. I live in Barendrecht. Barendrecht is close to Rotterdam – use: I am Bob, a sixteen-year-old boy who lives in Barendrecht, near Rotterdam. 

Letter of complaint (klachtenbrief 2)

1. Read the assignment

2. Mark/underline the important aspects

😒🙁😐🙂😃

When writing a formal letter, I still worry about...

1. Grammar, forming sentences
2. Vocabulary
3. The structure of the letter
4. I'm not worried!
