Writing tips

Here are writing tips for any writing exam:

• Lue ohjeet huolellisesti. - Read the instructions carefully. 
• Ole yksinkertainen. - Be simple. (Exam is not the place to try out new things, so write what you know is correct.)
• Älä kirjoita liian pitkiä lauseita. - Don't write sentences that are too long.
• Käytä vain sanoja, jotka tiedät. - Use only words that you know.
• Kirjoita selkeällä käsialla. - Use clear handwriting. 
• Tarkista lopuksi, että ymmärrät itse, mitä olet kirjoittanut. - After writing, check that you understand what you have written.

You learn to write by writing and getting feedback from your texts. You should also read a lot.
