hi everybody
plz give me some advices
writting issues has always been a problem to me,even in my native language, i've always been afraid of writing issues.
i feel that i lack ideas and it is hard to me to cite examples to support my ideas.
so, i decided not to try writting any issues before my exam, cause i feel that this would not help me, and in fact it's hard to me to know that i'm weak and unable to progress myself .
i feel depressed and in fact, almost 20 days separate me from the big day
plz help me & give your advice
thanks

i meant to say "just need help" not "just wanna help"
this is funny, i'm offering help while i'm totaly lost!!!
but i'll try to be optimistic hoping that my language would be better one day

I personally find that taking a very polarized side on an issue is easier to write about than qualifying both sides. Its seems easier to focus on your key points so that you don't digress while lambasting the other side's position. Good examples to use in general are controversies in the media, history, religion, or controversial people of their times. e.g., Martin Luther, Galileo, Socrates, Einstein/Atomic bomb blah blah. Rode-wade, The Davinci code, w/e. Anything newsworthy is generally a good source of ideas.

Really? I like to play both sides of an issue. That way, if I realize that one of my arguments is weak, I can say "on the other hand...." and point out my own error in reasoning. Whereas if I play one side I have to make sure that all my arguments are valid. Playing both sides also gives you more scope.
