Do I have a clue what to do? Yes, I've got to make an article. On NL. Does it say what kind of article? Now, so how am I supposed to know what to write?
I chose this article, because I can't be arsed to write about politics and such
http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/38213241/Supermarkten_kleuren_oranje_voor_WK.html It's about the dutch behaviour when it comes to the World Cup.
I wrote this article:
Supermarkets turn orange for the World Cup 2006
Once again it’s been shown that the Dutch are crazy when it comes to soccer. A few months ago, one started to produce helmets which reminded everyone of the helmets the German’s wore during World War 2. This was instantly forbidden, as many people didn’t appreciate this, because it reminded that of the bad times.
Considering the fact that orange is the national colour of the Netherlands, we are all dressed in orange clothes. But that is not enough, we now have to eat orange food as well. Orange fastfood preferably, because that way you don’t have to miss anything of the game that is going on on TV. Just for once, imagine that our guys make it into the second round. Good grief, we wouldn’t have a clue what’s happening to us!
Back to the food now. Oranges and Fanta aren’t enough, no instead, we start to produce orange cookies, orange pasta, orange mayonaise, orange candy. Whatever can be orange, will be orange. And why do we do that? Because it will be sold! Because people are crazy enough to buy the orange products. I don’t know how that will help the Dutch team, but perhaps during the World Cup people start to lose all sense of reality.
I for one, would not in the least bit be surprised if we will see the orange products with a 50% off sticker sooner than later, because once again, our guys, expected to do great, failed miserably...
Whether I've done it correctly or not, I don't know, but if they start complaining about my article, they better go and ride their bikes, because the assignment wasn't clear to me at all!!
