Writing notes
今 has the dramatic roof-and-knee silhouette; 年 is nine strokes of the most-mistyped order in Chinese. Practise 年 slowly: it appears in every date ever written.
Why a paper sheet instead of an app? HSK 1 exams test writing from memory, not tapping. Muscle memory for 今年 comes from tracing it in tianzige grids until the proportions land inside the cross guides every time — usually ten to twenty printed repetitions.
