Hi John,
How are you? I'm fine. I don't have (1) ... (veel) news. Actually, I'm emailing you because I have a question. Do you have (2) ... (een beetje) spare time left? I know you always have so (3) ... (veel) different things to do after school! I'm looking for people who want to join my Clean Campaign. It's a campaign where we try to clean the (4) ... (veel) buildings with graffiti on them. I already placed an advertisement, but there were very (5) ... (weinig) reactions. I think people just have too (6) ... (weinig) interest in a tidy neighbourhood. It won't take up (7) ... (veel) of your day! You could help out for just (8) ... (een paar) hours this Saturday.
Best wishes
Evy

Hi Johan,
How are you? I'm all right. Not (1) ... (veel) things have changed since you were here last. Well, my school has! Our playground was a mess, so it really needed (2) ... (een beetje) cleaning up. All the pupils and teachers spent (3) ... (een paar) hours every afternoon throwing away all the litter. How (4) ... (veel) time do you think it cost us to clean off all the graffiti? It was a lot, I can tell you that! (5) ... (veel) people spray paint their tags on our school building. But very (6) ... (weinig) of those people are real artists – it looked terrible! So now we are having a competition, and the best design is going on one of the walls! I have very (7) ... (weinig) talent, but I know you're great at graffiti. Do you want to send us (8) ... (een paar) of your designs?

Best wishes,
Sanne

Hi Sita,

I'd love to join your anti-litter campaign! I already have (1) ... (een paar) ideas about how we can get as (2) ... (veel) people as possible to join us. Very (3) ... (weinig) pupils know about the campaign, so why don't we put an advertisement in the school journal? There is always (4) ... (veel) talk about all the mess. I think it annoys (5) ... (veel) of us. We just need pupils and teachers to spend (6) ... (een beetje) of their time each day cleaning up. Of course, everyone should throw away as (7) ... (veel) litter as possible. Perhaps we could give a prize to the person who cleans up the most litter? Of course, we have (8) ... (weinig) money, but it doesn't have to be expensive.

Best wishes,

Lonneke
