Let's practise: agony aunt

Dear Marge,

I work at a supermarket after school. A girl I work with sometimes takes cans of energy drink or chocolate bars and secretly puts them in her bag. I have seen her do this several times.

Do you think I should report her for theft to our boss or not? My parents have always taught me to tell the truth and that any stealing is wrong. What do you think?

Raoul

What would be a good subject line for your email?

What would be a good way to start the email to Raoul? (aanhef)

Now write the first paragraph. Thank Raoul for his letter, ask him how he is doing and tell him how you are doing.

Now write a second paragraph with your advice to Raoul. Use at least 30 words.

What would be a good final line for your email to Raoul?

How would you end the mail? (Final greeting + full name)

How did writing the email go?

Very well, I know how to write an email in English now

Pretty good, but I would like to practise more

It didn't go well, I found it hard to do
