Today's lesson

Writing class

Watching

Period 2 is nearly over and you can suggest
who you would like to sit next to in period 3.
Give two options (second is a back-up)

Peer review

You wrote a formal letter to "Teen Ink"

I printed the ones that were handed in on Magister opdrachten

You will check each other's work before I check it: 

1. Did they follow all of the lay-out rules? (addresses, date, opening, ending)

2. Check if all the information is in the letter (every bullet point)

3. Did they do anything that's not allowed? (don't = do not, want = would like)

4. Did they ask the questions correctly? (step 1, step 2, step 3)

Translation

After doing the upcoming task you will have practised translating sentences from Dutch into English. 

By doing this you will now know sentences that you can use in your formal letter. 

Good luck!

Translate the sentences:
1. Uw advertentie in The Observer sprak mij erg aan.
2. Ik zou graag willen solliciteren naar de functie van …………
3. Ik hoor graag zo spoedig mogelijk van u.

Fixing mistakes

After doing the upcoming task you will have practised correcting all kinds of different mistakes people make. 

By doing this you will now know what not to do in your formal letter. 

Good luck!

Correct the mistakes in the sentences:
1. I have >unfortunate< had no opportunity to write you before.
2. The reason why I >write< to you is that I am greatly interested in the post you have advertised.
3. >Even when< I am not suitable for the job, I would be grateful for a reply.

Tips
