Ik heb dus een opdracht voor engels, ik zal vertellen hoe die gaat.
Now you've warmed up your writing skills you will write a full letter this time you will write a more formal letter. Just like Pink's open letter to President Bush, you will wirte an (imaginary) one to him as well.
1) Start your letter with 'Dear Mr President' and close it with 'Yours sincerely'
2) Your intention is not to write a fully political letter and criticise the President's actions though you can politely ask him to explain certain views.
3) You will also include something positive about the U.S.
(remember: you want him to finish reading the letter!) and invite him to visit Holland in the near future.
4) Don't forget to introduce yourself and explain your reason for writing.
5) To help you a bit more have a look at the communication Toolbox below.
6) you must use in between 200-220 words.

Dear Mr President
I would like to ask you some questions about how you run the U.S .
My name is NAAM and I live in Holland .
The reason I write you this letter is for a school assignment (as seen in the subject of this letter) , because I want to learn a lot more about your country , I did ask our Minister-President (J.P. Balkenende) and he said to me: “write the letter directly to Mr President Bush.”
I know it’s a heavy job you have, but can you explain to me, what you would do if a country starts attacking you?
In my opinion I would talk to that country, in contrast to a President who begins the war with fighting, and talk afterwards.
How can you let the other Presidents in there values, but still not trying to go in war with that country? Aren’t you afraid, if you make him angry that he will start a war with your country?
Hopefully I will get a reply from you , but more than that it would be nice if you could come to Holland and explain it to us all.
Finally I thank you in advance for looking to my letter. Hopefully you have the time to write me back, or maybe I’ll see you soon .
Yours sincerely ,
NAAM
