Brainstorming Ideas
You need to come up with some ideas to write about.
Write ideas as they come to your mind without worrying about
high-level language or sounding amazing in English!
Just write ideas as if you were having an informal chat with a
family member or a friend.
If you do it this way, you will come up with more ideas, as your
brain won’t be distracted by thinking about high-level vocabulary.
Here are some ideas for the example essay question we looked at:
Problems
Solutions
Lots of people in the
same space- Not
enough housing
Traffic
Pollution + all its
health risks
Provide more
affordable housing in
city centers
Better public
transport
Awareness
campaigns + car-free
zones like in London,
Madrid, or Paris.
