    Write a short (80-150 words) text in English reflecting your language learning process. You can answer these questions, but you don't have to answer all of them.

    1) How well do you think you know the topics we have covered so far: greetings, numbers, asking and answering questions, conjugating verbs, talking about your family? Talking about your daily routines? Which of the things you think you know well, which require more practise?
    

    2) Reflect the text writing process: how was trying to find information in Finnish? How much did you use materials (the course book, dictionaries...) when writing it?

    3) Reflect the video task and speaking: how do you find speaking Finnish overall? Do you feel comfortable with the pronunciation? Do you get to practise speaking Finnish in your daily life? Where?
    

    4) Is it easy for you to follow the lessons in the classroom? Can you keep up with the speed?

    5) Are you happy with your study efforts so far? Have you had enough time to complete homework exercises?
    

    6) Have you used the structures and vocabulary you have learnt in the course in your everyday life? If not, why?

    You can also write any wishes about study contents or methods. The task won't be graded.

    • what do you do in the evening: what do you eat, do you make food? do you study? do you do your homework? do you play? do you watch TV/Netflix?

    - Use at least 10 different verbs - also in negative forms.

    - Use different time expressions.
    

     
    - You can include one place or event which you can visit in Helsinki region and find information about it in Finnish.
    The place can be a restaurant, a café or a museum and the event can be for example a concert.
    Before writing the text check the opening hours, menus etc.

    • Include the opening hours in your text.

    You can use the verb "käydä" +ssa/ssä

    For inspiration: My Helsinki
    

    You can add a picture too of the place/event chosen.
