Hi guys

Here are some useful ways to generate ideas for your essays.

. Have ideas for all the common topics

The most common topics are education, the environment, the family, the role of government and social changes. You should have your own philosophy and ideas about all these things.

What is your opinion on homework?
What is your opinion on free university?
What should be taught in schools?
How should we teach people in schools?

What are your ideas for improving the environment?
How should we transition to cleaner energy?

How are families changing these days?
At what ages should children be allowed to do certain things? What is your philosophy of parenting?

What should the government pay for completely?
What should a government prioritise in its spending?
What should a government not spend any money on?

What are good/bad things about social media?
What is good/bad about the internet?

. Have examples across a variety of topics

For education, maybe learn about a country that does education well (for example Finland) and be able to contrast this with your own country.

For family, what are some general observations you can make from people around you and common sense?

For the role of government, what does your country do? What does a country like England do? Learn the 'Scandinavian model' of government.

For the environment, learn about Tesla. It's a great company that will give lots of ideas for solutions to fossil fuel issues.
You should know all about solar, wind, transport, infrastructure battery and energy storage.

. Read widely

Are you reading articles constantly about the various topics I mentioned above? Being knowledgeable about topics makes writing an essay much easier. You'll also learn natural topic-specific vocabulary if you are always reading.

. Think of the issue through the eyes of different people and different contexts

When faced with an issue, ask yourself 'What would my parents think? What do I think? What would a conservative think? What would a poor/rich person think? What would a westerner think?

For example, for the topic of clean energy, a rich person and country would prioritise green energy. A poor country has bigger problems than air quality, so they might see the issue differently. Perhaps a person employed in the coal mining sector would lose their job if the country chose to only use green energy.

As you can see, seeing things from a different perspective can give you many ideas on what would be good and bad about any particular issue.

. Hope to get lucky with the question topic on the day

I hope these help. Share with and Invite your friends here!
