Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Dear Jenny, 
(1) My name is Max and I'm in year 4  (the exam year) of secondary school. The subjects I am taking  my exams in are Dutch, English, chemistry, physics, economics and German. I hope I will graduate so I can move on to Vocational College to become an aircraft mechanic. I really want to work in aviation and fix airplanes. My dream is to become a pilot one day, and to fly to faraway destinations, but I want to understand how planes work first.  That's why I want to become an aircraft mechanic. 
 (2) I live together with my parents and siblings in a detached house in Zwolle. Zwolle is a city located in The Netherlands. It's a big city where there's lots to do. You can go to the biggest cinema of the province and there's a big city centre where you can go shopping or have a bite to eat. The Netherlands is a country that is mainly flat with no mountains at all. You'll see lots of cows grazing in the fields.
(3) My hobbies are playing rugby at the local club. Also, I enjoy watching horror films together with my friends. Can you tell me more about your country or yourself? What are your hobbies? Do you have any siblings? 

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. 

Kind regards,
