Questions & Answers


Question: Would "Is growing up a trap?" be a good essay topic?

Answer: Your question is interesting but somewhat unclear. This would actually


make a good title for an essay but the topic question needs to put your ideas into
context. A good question could be:

Children all think that only grown-ups have fun, but is growing up really as good as it
seems?

Then your thesis can be something like:

Growing up is really a trap because adulthood is not only privileges but also many
responsibilities.

Question: What do you think of, "What rules should parents have for their
teenagers?" as an English essay topic?

Answer: You can start this essay with a great story about a conflict between parents
and teenagers over rules. What would be a really good strategy for writing on this
topic is to point out that both sides really want what is best for the teenager and are
wanting them to grow up to be a responsible adult, but they have different means for
how they think that should happen.

Here are some other topic ideas:

1. How can parents best adjust their rules to let their children learn adult
responsibilities and choices?

2. How should teenagers most effectively talk with their parents about changing
rules?

3. What is the difference between rules that keep teens safe and rules that are not
really necessary?
4. How can parents best instill their own values on their children?

Question: What is the best topic for a quick essay?

Answer: To write a quick essay, you need to choose a topic you know a lot about or
a subject that you believe strongly in. It helps if you have spent a lot of time thinking
or talking to people about that topic. That will let you easily think of things to say. To
find that easy topic, follow these steps:

1. Read my list of easy essay topics (these are divided by subjects to help you scan
quickly: sports, healthy living, women, education, business,
environment): https://hubpages.com/humanities/Essay-Topic-Ideas.... Or my list of
Easy Argument topics (obesity/dieting/food, recycling, families, and relationships,
technology, aging and retirement): https://hubpages.com/academia/100-Easy-
Argumentati...

2. Find a couple of topic questions you like or know a lot about.

3. Copy these on a Word document.

4. Set a timer for 5 minutes.

5. Just start writing everything you know about that topic.

6. When the timer goes off, look at what you've written. Do you have enough ideas to
write a whole paper? Do you think you have a lot of examples you can use just from
your head? Do you want to write on this topic? If so, then just get started and use my
guidelines for How to Write Your Essay Fast: https://hubpages.com/humanities/How-
to-Write-Your-...

7. Not sure you like this topic? Try another topic and do the same 5-minute writing
test until you find a topic you know you can easily write on.

I find that when students do this test, they usually are much less frustrated and write
a lot more easily. It only takes 5-15 minutes total out of your time, so it is worth it.

Want to know the top 5 easy topics? Here is what my students say:

1. Is technology changing us for better or worse?

2. Is procrastination really a bad thing?


3. How can students best be healthy while in school?

4. Should standardized testing be changed? If so, how?

5. Should you pay attention to what other people think about you?

illness?

3. Should students with mental illness be allowed special considerations in school? If


so, what?

Question: What do you think of the topic, "How can employers best encourage
better health among their employees?" for an English essay?

Answer: It is a good topic. Some possible choices are by providing gyms at work,
giving people incentives for doing exercise or being in a weight loss program, or
offering free healthy foods.

Question: What do you think of the topic, "What career can I do when I grow up?" as
an English essay topic?

Answer: Here are some other versions of this question:

1. What should I do to prepare for a career?

2. What is the best career for someone like me?

3. What are the top career choices for a person in high school to consider?

Question: What do you think of the essay topic "Why is sport useful?"


Answer: Elaborating on this question would be a bit better. Here are some
suggestions:

1. Does participating in sports make kids better students?

2. How do sports programs benefit families?

3. Why should students participate in sports?

4. Are competitive sports programs better than non-competitive ones?

Question: How do I start an article about comparing universities? I need to compare


four universities.

Answer: A good way to start would be to talk about the different reasons why people
want to go to a university. You could even use your own story to start the essay.
Then you can ask the question, "What is the difference between these four
universities: [put names here]?" In the body of your paper, you should choose three
or more criteria or aspects to compare. Here are some ideas:

1. Variety of courses to study

2. Cost

3. Living accommodations or where the university is located, including how far it is


away from your home

4. Reputation

5. Whether graduates get jobs

Question: WIll "What makes a successful marriage?" make a good essay question?


Answer: You have an excellent question. Here are some other ways to word this
idea for an essay question:

1. What is the best way to prepare for a long-lasting marriage?

2. How can people best choose a marriage partner to ensure a successful marriage?

3. How do you define a successful marriage?

4. What causes people to have successful marriages?

Question: What do you think of the topic “Why abortions should be legal in every
country?" for an English essay topic?

Answer: Your topic idea is actually your thesis. Your question needs to be:

"Should abortions be illegal? or should there be an international law about


abortions?"

Question: What do you think of the topic, "What is an allergy?" for an English essay?

Answer: That topic would work for an Explaining essay. If you need to do an


argumentative essay, here are some other topic ideas:

1. Should all foods be required to be labeled for common allergens?

2. Should companies be held liable if people get ill from allergens in the foods?

3. Can allergies be prevented?

4. What is causing the increase in allergies?

5. Are "allergy shots" really a good treatment idea?

Question: What do you think of the topic, "English is a crazy language?" as an


English essay topic?

Answer: How about "Is English a Crazy Language?" I generally suggest that you
start with a question that could have at least two answers. If there is not a different
opinion on the subject, then it really isn't a good essay question. I do think that
"crazy" is a bit of a vague term, although it would make a good essay title. You will
need to define what you mean by "crazy" and also compare English to other
languages (not just one) that are less "crazy."

Question: What do you think about "Why should students be allowed to choose what
they learn about in school?" as an essay topic?

Answer: Your statement is more like a thesis because it tends to allow only arguing
one side. You probably want to have a research question like: How much choice
should students have in what subjects they study in school? Your answer to that
question will be your thesis. Here are some examples:

Students should be allowed to choose all of their own classes and have nothing
required.

Students should be allowed to choose at least half of their classes.

Question: Would "How can people concentrate more when studying?" make a good
essay topic?

Answer: Other possible questions:

1. How can students stop procrastinating?

2. How can students get more out of their studying times?

3. What strategies enhance concentration while studying?

4. How can students best avoid distractions while studying?

Question: What are other English essay topics about marriage?

Answer: Here are other marriage topic questions:

1. How can people best prepare for a successful marriage?

2. What is a successful marriage?

Question: How can I improve my grammar while essay writing?


Answer: Here are some simple ways to improve your grammar while you write:

1. Use spellcheck and Grammarly on your essay but don't just click the answer. Pay
attention to what the error is and write down a note of what you are doing wrong most
often. Look up those rules and learn the difference.

2. Use the ideas in my article on how to proofread your essay


(https://hubpages.com/humanities/Essay-Revision-Ste... but don't just use it to
correct your essay. Use the errors you find to help you understand what you do
wrong and then research information about those particular errors and memorize
how to do it correctly.

3. Pay close attention to any errors that your instructor marks on your essays. Look
up the meaning of those errors or go to your instructor for help in understanding
them.

Ultimately, getting better at grammar is up to you!

Question: What do you think of, "How does lack of sleep hurt us?" for an English
essay topic?

2. How much sleep do we really need?

3. What is "a good night's sleep?"

Question: What do you think of the topic, "What should I do to prepare for a career?"
for an English essay?

Answer: In general, your topic should not use the first person "I" because then your
essay is only directed towards you. If you are doing a personal experience essay,
that is all right, but most English class essays are meant to have a broader audience.
Here are some other topic questions that would work:

1. What are the best steps for career preparation in the field of....?"

2. How can students prepare for their future career while in college?
3. Which course of study best prepares you for a career?

Question: Is "What university you would consider going to?" a good essay topic?

Answer: You need a question rather than a statement to make a good topic. The
topic question should have more than one possible answer. That way your thesis will
be able to tell your answer to the question as well as the reasons you would give for
that answer. Here are some possible questions:

1. Which is the best university for learning English?

2. What are good criteria for choosing a university to attend?

3. Is it a good idea to go to the university your parents prefer?

4. Should you choose a uuniversity first or a field of study?

Question: What do you think of, "What makes a bad tattoo idea?" for an English

2. Should you choose a tattoo that has someone else's name?

4. Are there any tattoos that should be avoided?

Question: Do I need to do the draft first before writing the full essay? How can a
draft help me? What will happen if I draft the wrong information?

Answer: Of course you can write just one version of the essay and turn it in. The
benefit of writing a draft (or several drafts) before turning in your essay is that if you
think about the first version as an unfinished draft, it can help you to keep on going
and finish it. Often students get stuck in the middle of an essay because they can't
think of just the right example, or don't have enough ideas. I tell them on the first draft
to just write down what they have and keep on moving to the next point. After
finishing the first draft, you might then go back and fix some of the things you know
are wrong. When you have the paper as good as you can get it for that moment, it is
time to have someone else read it and give you some critique and suggestions.
Getting another person's opinion is the best way to improve. Generally, I have my
students get at least two of their classmates to read their paper and give peer editing
comments. Because there will be some time between writing the first draft, getting
the comments from readers, and sitting down to do the final draft, you will also gain
from the fact that you've had a break from your writing. Often, you will see many
ideas that you want to change just on your own. Here is my article on editing for your
final draft: https://owlcation.com/humanities/How-to-Write-a-Pa...

Question: I wanted to write an essay about 3-4 pages long about how we should
raise kids. I want to write about what age we should start disciplining them. What
would be a great topic and thesis?

Answer: You would start with a topic question and then the answer to that question
would be your thesis. Here is an article with a variety of parenting topic
questions:https://owlcation.com/academia/Topic-Ideas-for-Exp...

Here is an article that would help you write that


thesis: https://hubpages.com/academia/How-to-Write-a-Great...

Question: How do I write a position paper on this topic, "Do nurses care in this
country?"

Answer: Start with a story about a nurse who either shows they care or they do not
care (depending on your point of view in the essay). Then give the question and your
answer. The main part of the essay will be giving reasons for your answer supported
by evidence. The conclusion will tell what you want your readers to think, do, or
believe after reading your essay. For more help in writing

Question: What do you think of the essay topic "Do young men have body image
problems?"

situation that people talk about female body image problems. Other possible topics

2. How important is it to have ordinary male bodies portrayed in advertisements and


movies?

Even so

With that in mind

Without forgetting that, we still

Question: How can I prove an essay topic delving into the civil system in the U.S is
made for black people to fail? Can you help me make it less biased?

Answer: Your question is actually your thesis answer, which of course is going to


show bias because it is your position. In order to make the essay work, you need to
decide what question you can ask which could have more than one answer (or more
than just a yes/no answer). Additionally, it can sometimes be more effective to focus
on how things could be different and change for the better rather than just
complaining or pointing out the problems. In the course of talking about changes, you
can use evidence of the current problems to support the need for change. Here are
some possible questions on your topic:

1. Is there a bias in the U.S. criminal system against certain groups?

2. How can the U.S. government be changed to help African-American communities


be more successful?

Question: Many critics that analyzed Robert Frost's poem "Out Out" had questions
of their own. Is this a good thesis?

Answer: That sounds like a good topic idea but it doesn't really work as a thesis
since you would just be repeating things that other writer's had said without adding
your own point. I usually suggest that people start with a thesis question that can be
answered in several ways. Then your answer would be the thesis and the reasons for
the answer would be your topic sentences. Here are some possible thesis questions
on "Out Out":

1. What does the poem "Out Out" mean?

2. How does "Out Out" relate to Shakespeare's work?

3. Why did Robert Frost write the poem "Out Out?"

4. How does Robert Frost use language effectively in "Out Out" to draw out his
meaning?
