How To Brainstorm On The CELPIP Exam: Stop Overthinking!

The Speak English Fearlessly Podcast

If you struggle with brainstorming on the CELPIP exam, then this episode is for you!

I'll talk about the number one challenge CELPIP test takers face when it comes to brainstorming, and what you can do about it.

You'll learn the mindset you need to adapt in order to brainstorm effectively.

You'll learn that it's more important to have many ideas to work with instead of trying to come up one one great one.

And you'll learn that often times, effective brainstorming happens as you just start writing. (As you write, more ideas will begin to come. No writing = no ideas!)
