BLOG 3
Student Life!
Dear followers, I'm proud to present to you my first blog about student life! This weekly blog will contain information about every little thing that goes on in my so called student life.
First of all I have to make a confession. Writing, reading and thinking in English is hard! Although I've lived in London for 6 months, everything I've learned seems to be so far away. But I'll do the best I can!
Yesterday was one hell of a day. It was the start of period 3, but my brains were still working hard for period 2. Maaike and I had to finish an assignment for Usability, which resulted in some stressful late night hours! But we made it, and passed with an 8! Yay! I'm glad I've got two days off now, perfect days to make a good start for this upcoming period!
I hope to see you guys all at the Vox-party this Thursday!
Take care,
Elske

Dear Robert,
Remember that Dutch girl you talked to for hours about music when you were visiting Holland? It's me, Merlin!
Your wonderful stories about your city made me decide to come and visit London next week! I would love to catch up with you to talk some more about music and drink a pint or two!
Hope to hear from you!
Best wishes,

Dear colleagues,
As you all know we work as a team perfectly, and now is the time to make our teamwork even better!
After we received some tips on the staffs clothing, the management picked up the idea to create a new, beautiful, perfectly fitting dress code for all employees at the Princess Hall Theatre!
To make this plan work, all your ideas on how you'd like this dress code to turn out are more than welcome. Colours and fabric, classic or casual: you name it!
So let those designer-brains work and come up with a great plan for our dress code!
I hope to hear from you guys soon and I'm really looking forward to all your good ideas!
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Super Sports Day
Hello,
As discussed, I'm sending you some more information about the Super Sports Day the Communications Department would like to organise.
Organising a sports day for all our Dutch and American employees and their families will be good for many factors in our company, such as:
- team building
- to get to know more about our employees
- to create a positive vibe on the work floor
It's also a good way to give the families the feeling they are welcome at our company too.
All participants will get the change to play typical Dutch and American sports as soccer and football. We want to invite sport clubs to give information about different sports that are not so familiar. Afterwards there will be the opportunity to sit down, relax and eat some healthy food.
I hope this information can convince you to take a closer look at this idea. Organising this sports day will definitely be good for our company and employees!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.
