A request and an overstated headline
A hypothetical school survey report in Finnish says: “Kyselyyn vastasi 40 opiskelijaa. Heistä 30 toivoo hiljaista työtilaa.” A draft headline says that three quarters of all students demand an immediate building project. The school’s total enrolment, response rate, costs and proposed implementation date are not supplied. A separate draft email asks “Voisimmeko keskustella asiasta keskiviikkona?” but a summary changes that request into a confirmed Wednesday meeting. The learner must revise both pieces without inventing missing facts. This is original language and argument practice, not a report of an actual school consultation. A response should preserve the denominator of the survey and the proposed status of the meeting, using clear attribution and conditions instead of stronger wording that merely sounds decisive.
1. What does the survey establish?
Read the worked answer
30 of40 respondents support a quiet workspace, equivalent to75 percent of respondents. It does not establish that proportion among all students or a demand for immediate construction.
2. How should the meeting be described?
Read the worked answer
The Finnish asks whether discussion on Wednesday would be possible. It is a proposal or request, not evidence that the recipient accepted or a meeting was confirmed.
