      When I answer the questions, whether I writing or speaking, I always have no idea to response more… So, How can I improve? Thanks Mike!

      The main thing is to practice brainstorming and brainstorming techniques as below:

      1. Know Common Topics: Familiarise yourself with themes like education, environment, technology, health, and society.
      2. Mind Maps: Use mind maps to visually organise your thoughts on a topic.
      3. Timed Brainstorming: Set a timer for 1-2 minutes and jot down as many ideas as possible on a given topic.
      4. Read and Watch: Regularly read articles and watch debates to gather new ideas and perspectives.
      5. Practice with Prompts: Use sample questions to practice generating ideas under timed conditions.
      6. Template Strategy: Develop a flexible essay and speaking response template to organise your thoughts quickly.
      7. Use Question Words: Ask who, what, when, where, why, and how to explore all aspects of a topic.
