Hello Mark, I am a new student to IB and am already thinking of starting my Extended Essay already and I'd like to write about English but the teachers in my school discourage it since it's supposedly very difficult to get a good grade even when your essay itself is good (lol) and it's very intimidating but I'm really passionate about it, what do I do?

Thank you for this explanation. I just have some slight questions. Does the EE require any abstract section on the paper that describes why you chose to write the topic or is it highly suggested to not include that? and does it matter how popular or used your subject and/or topic is for research?

Does my EE have to obligatory be related to one of the six subjects i take in my diploma course? For example: If I take spanish, english, math, physics, chemistry, and economics, can I do my EE on psychology for instance or does it have to be around one of those six subjects I am taking? Thanks.
