Finding ideas for essays
Step 1 – understand the difference between ideas, reasons
and examples
When I ask my students in a class for “ideas”, they quite often stare at me in silence.
When I ask them the question “why” or ask them to give me an example, they
(normally!) have plenty to say. That should tell you there is a difference between
ideas, reasons (why) and examples. The good news is ideas are not the problem in
IELTS, what you need are reasons and examples. They are normally much easier to
find.
A paragraph is one idea: supported with reasons and examples. You only need two
ideas.
