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 2nd paragraph with your advice to Raoul. Use at least 30 words.

Terugblik op gisteren:

- Hoe goed heb je nu voor ogen hoe de layout van een mail eruit ziet? 

- Hoe vond je de aanpak gisteren van korte stukjes schrijven en dan persoonlijke feedback krijgen? 

Today:

- Finish the mail to Raoul

- Start learning the words of Exam Training 1

- Next Monday, we start with the documentary.

What would be a good final line in 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 think writing is difficult.

I found it hard to concentrate.

Quizlet

- Can everyone access the words? 

- How does it work? 

- We practise with some exercises.
