Pay attention to this mind map picture above.
A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information.
It is often created around a single word or text, placed in the centre, to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added.
They are very handy when you are asked to write an essay.
Besides, mind maps help you remember vocabulary because they are very visual.
