[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 248768, member: 42112"] Hey! I would choose something that is specific and manageable (i.e. not "solve climate change" in the abstract). Picking one focused aspect (such as improving access to education in disadvantaged areas or increasing access to justice) makes your answer specific and credible. Then, I would structure it clearly - perhaps along the lines of: [LIST] [*]Introduction: define exactly what you would improve and why it matters [*]Significance: explain the wider impact of making this change - this could be social, economic, legal, etc. [*]Steps: outline the practical steps that it would involve. Would there need to be policy reform, funding, technology? [*]Benefits: who gains from this change, and how do they benefit? [*]Challenges: it is also important to be realistic and show that you understand the challenges you would encounter, as well as how you would manage them. [/LIST] They likely want to see structured thinking and commercial awareness - a strong answer will balance both ambition with practicality, and acknowledges that trade-offs might need to be made (as a solution isn't always simple!). I would pick something that you genuinely care about, as it is likely you'll find it easier to write passionately about (which will make it more convincing!). Best of luck :) [/QUOTE]
