Dear student, 

Thank you for listening to this explanation. I would like to know whether you understood everything and if you are now able to write a formal e-mail yourself.

Please write me an e-mail in Microsoft Word and hand it in on Teams. In your mail, I would like you to tell me how you are doing, if you need extra help with this topic and if you are able to bring your own dictionary to the test on Friday the 27th of February.

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Kind regards,

Martijn de Groot
