    Zou iemand deze motivatiebrief misschien even kunnen doorkijken op grammatica/spellings fouten?

    Dear Mr./Mrs.,

    I am hereby applying for entrance to the Honours Programme 2011 at the … My purpose is to present the reasons why I want to attend the Honours Programme and why I see myself suitable for the program.

    At the end of high school I had to choose an academic study. I had a hard time choosing the most suitable academic study for me because I have always had a broad range of interests. There were so many different interesting studies to choose from. Eventually I opted for Political Science which pleases me very much. So far I have met all my subjects with relatively high grades. Doing so well, I wondered if I could do something extra with my time. Last February Dr. W told me about the Honours Programme and it seems like a perfect challenge for me.

    The Honours Programme, in my opinion, has many advantages and opportunities. Not only will it give me the opportunity to learn more, broaden and deepen my knowledge and feed my curiosity and inquisitiveness. It will also give me the opportunity to meet new people from different disciplines, to polish my English and distinguish myself from my peers. The advantage of the Honours Programme, in my opinion, is that the courses are taught in small groups, so you get more individual attention from the lectures and I really like the fact that the courses are taught by top academics.

    In conclusion I think the Honours Programme would eventually build up my CV and contribute to my personal development.

    Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to your reply.

    Yours sincerely,

  • MaCa

    Brief hoofd:

    Weet je de namen? Dan: Dear Mr. … and Dear Mrs. .. en dan aan het eind : Yours sincerely,

    Weet je hun funktie : Dear Dean of Dear Director

    Weet je geen namen dan: Dear Sir or Madam, en aan het eind: Yours faithfully,

    De eerste twee zinnen zouden wat beknopter kunnen zijn, herhaal jezelf niet.

    program is Amerikaans, programme is Engels

    High School is Am. Secundary Education Engels.

    Over high grades: deze zin is onzin. Beter iets van: I achieved high grades in all subjects. “Meeting subjects” is je onderdanen ontmoeten(als koning)

    Not only ….deze zin vraagt om een contrast, die in het tweede deel van de zin komt. Dus : Not only …..etc. (komma), it will also….etc(tweede deel van dezelfde zin) niet een nieuwe zin beginnen.

    Distinguish yourself AMONG your peers.

    Attention from the lectureRs…

    Hoop, dat je hier iets aan hebt.
