Step #1: make a plan 

Think about what you want to write

Are they asking about something you have learned, or do they want to know about something strange that has happened to you?

Think about the tone of the article

Most articles are between formal and informal. 

They are often informative, spark a conversation but are also entertaining. 

Think about your structure

Title

Paragraph 1: Introduction, start with a catchy opening line to hook the readers. Then introduce your topic.

Paragraph 2: Give an answer to what they are asking from you.

Paragraph 3: Continue with answering the question they asked. Sometimes this is a contradiction to what you have mentioned before. 

Paragraph 4: Conclusion, try to make this thought-provoking.

Personalize your writing 

Most articles have a personal touch to their story. You can do this by using the phrases "you" and "I" in your writing. 

Don't forget, they are asking for your opinion!
