Today, I did a mind map about pronunciation as in class we were told to write about pronunciation and how we are going to improve our own pronunciation. Honestly said, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. At the beginning, I just stared at my blank sheet of paper. I think, it took me like 10 minutes until I finally started because hardly anything came into my mind when I was thinking about pronunciation. After another 10 minutes or so, I eventually wrote down the word pronunciation, which I centered in the middle of the sheet. After that, ideas just came into my mind quite suddenly. I wrote down everything even if it was really really simple. I wrote down things that are so obvious and logical for me as I wanted to make sure that I don't exlude aspects of pronunciation which might be important for the improvement of my pronunciation. In other words, I tried to consider every essential aspect of pronunciation of which learners, myself included, should be aware of. Therefore I created a mind map which includes motives for the improvement of somebody's pronunciation, problems learners have to face and how these problems can be solved.

After the mind map was finished, I made the structure for my text about pronunciation which I am going to write in the following two weeks. I think, that the first draft I made isn't that bad. If you have any ideas how I could improve the "structure of my text" please let me know. I'd appreciate any opinion.

See....mind maps can be useful in terms of generating ideas and finding a way to structure them.
