Quizlet words

These are my stories writing with quizlet words.

I don’t know, if they all are correct.

The story of school reform

The school reform was made in 60’s in Finland. There wasn’t any pre-primary education, guidance counsellor, remedial teaching or optional subject   In an old style school. The school reform changed completely  childrens teaching. The school authorities wanted to ensure the same learning platform for whole  Finland ( all over the country ). Prescribed qualifications were required from teachers.

There were certain compulsory subjects in  curriculum. First it was difficult because of miscellaneous grades and incompetent substitutes.


It is a little bit difficult to write taxes, because I seldom use those words even in Finnish.

Tax planning

The Nordic welfare states take care of their inhabitants. That is why we have to pay taxes.

Tax rate is quite high here in Finland, so many company engage in tax planning. Some of them even transfer their money to tax haven, to avoid payment of taxes. When those companies make tax evasion, ordinary people get tax hikes and they must pay more and more taxes, in order to maintain the welfare state. If you can make right and correct your tax return , you can get tax refund and sometimes tax deduction

We had a great trip to Turkey. Although it was rainy weather in Istanbul, we visited Hagia Sophia, called as Aya Sofia. It was a little bit disappointment for us, because half a building was under renovation. Blue Mosque, called as Sultanahmet camii, we saw just outside, because there was so long queue waiting for entry.

Afyonkarahisar offered a lot of experience and the hosts were very friendly. We were taken many kind of places, for example: to one of the local mosque. We visited to marble shop, where we saw very beautiful things made of marble. Now I know that Marble is (marmori) and it is written with r, and maple is (vaahtera) writing with p and without r. The Governor recommended to us by a spa visit in a local fancy spa. After that we go to a restaurant, which was really huge. The next evening we ate dinner at a place, which is the largest restaurant that I have ever visited.

One of the host guided me to the post office and back to hotel. He was a Turkish English interpreter, and his working day was finished, he still helped me.

The weather was so wonderful. The sun was shining and it was so warm like in summer.

I can’t say anything, but it was a fascinating journey.

I really hope you see those pictures, how interesting our journey was.
We'll see next Wednesday.
Mirja

I’m very pleased you like our presentation. You have so nice pictures about Finland, it was easy to collect those modest presentation. I hope it will do for ( to) our teachers too.

Travel fever begins to rise, while looking at pictures of of Istanbul. I studied the map of Istanbul and I noticed that Hagia Sofia and Grand Bazaar situate very close to our hotel. I wish that I have good luck to visit them. We’ll see it quite soon.

I chose a few video clip for a workshop. They should have been shortened a bit and cut out unnecessary, but I could not do it with Movie maker.

Perhaps I’ll get some good advice next Wednesday.  


Hagia Sophia is an amazing building, isn't it.

We'll see soon.

Hello

Hi all of you. How are you, I am fine.
I have read the bulletin what Bing had send us. There is a lot of useful knowledge of Turkey.
It was also very good  practice in learning English. There were many words which I dit not know.
I am sure that we will have nice time in Turkey.

Last night it had been snowing. Temperature is +3. I am waiting that it should be smelting on the day and I need not go to take it away. Let us see in the ewening  how it is.

Many greetings.

Hello all of you

I think that there has been some sort of confucion ouer writing with Anneli and me. It is not my writing. I have had trouble with my iPad. I have written twice, but it it is gone loss.
This morning I was in bodybilding in Kuntokeskus Kanava.I liked it very much. It think that I will continue to visitid that place. Because I can not see very well, there is better to do excersice than on cross-country skiing.
Last week my grandchild visitid us and we had so nice time. We played "Uno" game so many times.
And guess what. I was "Uno" any way. Do you think that it is impossible to win eight yers boy "Uno" spel? Have a nice weekend to You all.

Hi

Hello all Autumn Group fellows.
It has been very quiet here. I have thought that everyone is very busy.
Thank you Mirja for the nice English songs words.
I have made some exercises in Quizlet and tryid learn new words. I had also practical exercice when my granddaughter visited me with her English boyfrend. He had a strong Liverpool-dialect and it was a bit difficult to understant.

Johanna has send us program to Turkey journey. It looks very good. I am sure that we will have a nice time in Turkey.

Happy Valentines Day to all of you.

Hello group Autumn
I wish you Happy New Year. 
It is time to start working with study English. Our Presentation is well under way. I have been practicing the tools of google drives presentation, and little by little I have learned to use them. Anneli and Liisa have add already nice photos. When I look at them I have to say: Very beautiful pictures of Finland.
To get forwad: 
  Autumn group members, please add more pictures of your own  to our presentation

Kerttu, you have a lot of photos flowers and vegetables from your garden. They would be nice to see in this presentation.

Tarja I know that you have also many pictures from your wonderful yard or photos of your little dog.

It would be good to put your name to dia, when you add your photo. So we all know, whose it is.

I don’t know, how long the presentation will be. I think although we can add more beautiful pictures from Finland.

I look forward the next meeting.

This an old writing...

...but I publish it until now.
It is too difficult exercise to work with google drive. I wanted to add my photos to our presentation, but drive doesn't accept them instead it says that my pictures are too large, too many pixels.
I tried to use other tools and they didn't work.
That is why I have not done my homework although I promised. First I have to practice to use drive presentation, how to add pictures, or do we have to just write about our group.
I'll do the plan, what we'll tell about in our presentation. You all can say your own opinion in our common drive.
After all have a nice weekend with no worries about our home works.    

Happy New Year.

So it is year 2014. I hope it will be a very good year. I wish all kind of nice things to our group. I start to do our presentation with google drive. It is a little bit difficult, because I have forgotten nearly almost totally how to work with drive presentation. However I'm trying and trying and maybe we shall see something about  our Finnish life style.

New Year

Happy New Year to all of our Autumn Group-fellows.
I hope that this new year has began happily.
There was big fireforks and a lot of noice. I had heard it in my house.
In the morning my neighbour came and said that my letterbox had been exploded.
Such a things happen.

In our group it has been very quiet. I have find that I am nearly the only one who writes here.
How are the others?
