Hi,
I'll be taking an English CLEP exam in a couple of weeks to earn college credit.
In the last portion of the test, you are given a very general topic and
asked to write a five paragraph essay. I'm confident in my ability to
write an essay. However, I've always had a difficult time thinking of
things to write about. The more general the topic, the more difficult
it is for me to think of things to say.
Are there any writing formulas or simple ways to brainstorm that can help me?
I'd appreciate your input.
