"I don't have any ideas..." is what I often hear from #IELTS candidates.

And no wonder. Some IELTS writing topics are not exactly what you talk about in your daily life. But where do ideas come from? From input.

My "input" of choice is New Scientist. Look at this short paragraph:

"Nevertheless, Hall's results have already stimulated action. Soon after the study came out, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization published a report calling the trial a "solid link" between ultra-processed foods and ill health, and calling for a raft of measures to reduce their consumption, including food labelling, advertising bans and junk food taxes on such products at the point of sale."

You have three solid ideas for an IELTS essay about reducing junk food consumption:
- food labelling
- advertising bans
- junk food taxes.

And it's just one tiny paragraph!

I have designed a whole writing course based on New Scientist articles and geared towards IELTS essay writing. Launching two new groups soon:

📅 Friday 11-12:30 Moscow time
Level C1+/C2, course instructor Irina Lutsenko

📅 Saturday 11:30-13:00 Moscow time
Level C1, course instructor Anastasia Beisova
