[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 2946, member: 1"] I like this question. They just want to see what you are interested in and why that topic interests you. No need to choose something that sounds impressive or is relevant to law. Instead, you can use it as an opportunity to talk passionately about a topic that you genuinely like. Tips for the process: [LIST=1] [*]Pick a topic that interests you. [*]Read through different sources so you can get a few different perspectives on the topic. [*]Try to form an opinion on the topic. To make your answer strong, lead with your opinion rather than simply describing the topic. (Alternatively, give a brief description and then go into an evaluation.) [*]Your structure doesn't have to be rigid but make sure you cover why it interests you. You can merge these two points together -- leading with why the topic interests you and introducing the topic in the process. [*]Use evidence to back up your points where relevant. [*]Make sure you are specific. This is where many students fall down. Try not to say: "The regulation of tech companies interests me because it has big consequences for their businesses." What are the consequences? Why does that interest you? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
