I know this may be a silly question, but I have trouble coming up with effective examples when writing my essays, more specifically, the issue analysis essays. I tried researching how to improve my writing skill, yet all the websites that I came across didn't explain how to come up with good examples. I understand that examples are drawn from history event, pop culture, politics and science field. However, I am an international student and I unfortunately have not taken American history back in high school (history was one of my most hated subject so I didn't take it in undergrad either), I also have not been following pop cultures and politics :blue: I am wondering if people can share how they came up with effective and persuasive arguments AND counterarguments under such time constrain. Thank you guys in advance! I am planning on taking my first GRE test this May or early June :sorrow:
