    Some tips:
    ·        It is expected that you will use ‘I’ and refer to yourself in the 1st person
    ·        It would be recommended to draw some links between the 4 topics – how are they interrelated in your opinion? What were you surprised to have learnt?
    ·        Drawing on a recent newspaper article obtained from the media may assist with your reflection, linking it to the reality of the accounting profession and/ or the business domain 
    ·        Your language and discussion can be informal as this is not a traditional business document – it is a collection of YOUR personal thoughts
    ·        This is an opportunity for you to entirely express YOUR opinions – no references required!
