Ideas for texts
Do you want to practise but you are not sure what to write about? You don't have any foreign-language assignment, letter or blog post that you would like to see corrected? Don't worry, here are some ideas:
- You finally have the chance to talk to the girl/boy that you have secretly admired for a long time. What would you tell him/her about yourself? Or: what wouldn't you tell?
- Describe how the hero (in a movie you watched) manages to get around in a place full of enemies
- You can meet anybody (past, present or future) and spend two hours with him/her. Who will you meet and what will you do?
- What would your dream resumé / CV look like? (detailed) How would you want to have lived?
- You are suddenly famous and tomorrow you are to give a speech of up to 10 minutes that will be broadcast on every TV station. What do you say?
- What better ending can you imagine for a book or a movie that you found unsatisfying?
- What would you do if you ran for president this year? (in the USA or in your home country)
- Translate the lyrics of one of your favourite songs or poems
- Write about something funny or awesome that happened to you
- Describe a sight or a custom of your country / your area
- Write an 'open postcard to the world' from wherever you are at the moment
