Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a good essay topic?
Pick a question you are curious about, that has enough sources to research and that can be answered within your word limit. Easy topics suit short essays; hard topics are better for argumentative essays where you need to weigh evidence on both sides.
What makes a good debate motion?
A good motion is a clear statement that reasonable people can disagree on, such as 'This house believes that public transport should be free.' Both the proposition and opposition should have strong arguments available.
What is the difference between informative and persuasive speech topics?
An informative speech explains a subject (how vaccines changed public health), while a persuasive speech tries to change the audience's mind (why school uniforms should be compulsory). The speech mode mixes both and labels each topic.
Can I use these topics for ESL or classroom discussions?
Yes. Conversation mode gives icebreakers and discussion questions; easy topics use simple language and hard ones invite deeper opinions. All topics are family-friendly.
Will I get the same topic twice?
Not until you have seen every topic matching your filters. After that the list starts again. Changing the type, category or difficulty gives a different pool.
