Assignment 4 MEMO

Subject: Super Sports Day

Dear colleagues,

We discussed the staff outing in the meeting last week. I think it's a great idea to do something with the staff and their families. The compagny is not very long in the Netherlands. It's important that our American colleagues get the chance to know our Dutch colleagues. The best way to get to know someone is outside of employment. The American company moved about a year ago to the Netherlands, and it's important that our new colleagues feel like home here. We must not forget that it's a big step to move to another country.

We have chosen for a Super Sports Day because it's really healthy and a good way for getting to know eachother. Everybody is sitting at their desk at work all day long. A day sportsmanship will be good for everybody. With sports, you have to work together and it's a lot of fun! We can end the day with a barbecue.

I look forward to hear what you think.

Kind regards,

The Communications Department of Performance Systematix

Student life in Holland 2

The second week of my training is done. One thing I noticed, we get a lot of homework! Sometimes it´s hard, because after school I´ve got a part time job. For my school schedule it´s to do well. I don´t have really long day's at school. The last lesson is finished most of the time about half past twelve a.m.

After school I work at a customer service for a phone provider. The work is okay for a part time job. I do not want to think about working there full time. It´s all day computer work. People call you with there problems, for example their voicemail don't work. Sometimes you get very nice people on the phone and the conversation is nice. It also happens sometimes that people are angry. That conversation is more difficult. You have to stay calm and patient. It is difficult because the customer is not always right. Fortunately, my colleagues are very nice! It is always enjoyable at work.

To combine school and work well, I make a clear planning. Fortunately, my work is very flexible.

Subject: A good idea!
Cc: management@princesshall.com

Dear colleagues,

We had a meeting with the management of Princess Hall Theatre. In this meeting we discuss a view points about our compagny and our reputation. We were thinking how we can make this compagny more successful. We had some feedback from guests about the clothing of the employees. Some people said it is to casually, especially at gala dinners or business events. That is why we got the idea to create a dress code for all the employees. I think this is a great idea! With a dress code we are more professional. We want to ask all of you to help us with the creating of a dress code. Many of you will definitely have good ideas! We hope to receive your idea within a fortnight. We are all looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Thanks for your efforts!

Kind regards,

The Communications Department of the Princess Hall Theatre.

Student life in Holland

I started with school last week. My first schoolday was on 30th of august. I was a little bit nervous, because it was two years ago that I visited school. My last fulltime course was in the year 2008. I haved worked for eighteen months.

When I walked into the school, I met a girl who came for the same course. I was relieved because now I didn't have to find the classroom by myself. In the classroom where all the students for the course came, we heard in which group everyone was classified. The rest of the day we were with our group and we had the chance to know eachother.

At this moment we have had one week lessons. I like my group, and I like the school. Till now, I did not had a boring moment. I like the lessons, because they are very interesting and the teachers are nice.

Many people think it's hard to go to school again, after you have worked. But I am glad that I have maked this decision.
