  2. Tell the person which extreme sport you want to do together.
  3. Give information about the extreme sport (minimal 3 sentences. Use your own words.)
  4. Tell when and where you want to do the sport.
  5. Tell that you would like to hear soon, because you have to sign up (inschrijven).

Here is an example:

  1. Hi Beth,
    How are you?
  2. Would you like to go scuba diving with me?
  3. Scuba diving is where you go underwater in a special suit. You carry tanks on your back to help you breathe underwater. You also wear a special scuba suit. You can swim underwater for a very long time and can see many fish.
  4. I want to go scuba diving at Scheveningen next Saturday at 12’o clock.
  5. Can you let me know soon, so I can sign us up?
  6. Greetings,
  7. Devon

TIP: Be creative and dont be affraid to make spelling mistakes. Writing = practicing & practicing = writing!! Try to describe your chosen extreme sport in your own words. You may also use the internet for extra information.
