I've been meaning to do a post here for a while with these questions. I've used them before with my ESL students, and I believe they're very useful as a guideline to practice writing in your target language, so feel free to use these as journaling prompts if they fit your learning process. They get increasingly difficult as you move down the list, so you can also use them as progressive practice.

You don't need to do these questions exactly in a month (in fact, you probably won't), and you can answer in short or long answers. The important think is that you practice!

1. Who are you?
2. What are your favorite hobbies?
3. What’s your family like?
4. What’s your best friend like?
5. Where do you live?
6. What’s your favorite food?
7. What’s your favorite season? Why?
8. What’s your favorite movie or TV show? Why?
9. Describe your daily routine.
10. What are you going to do this weekend?
11. What’s the funniest thing that has ever happened to you?
12. Where would you like to go on vacation?
13. What’s the best vacation, trip or outing you’ve ever had?
14. Where do you see yourself in five years?
15. What are your goals for the future?
16. Write a poem (rhyming or not) about something that inspires you.
17. Pretend you’re instructing someone on how to do your favorite activity.
18. What’s your favorite (or your family’s favorite) tradition?
19. What do you think the world will be like in 50 years? 
20. Why is education important?
21. If you were given three wishes, what would you wish for?
22. What do you think the most significant world problem is?
23. If you could change one thing about society, what would you change?
24. How has the internet affected communication? How do you see it affecting communication in the future?
25. What’s your favorite literary work, and what has it taught you?
26. What topics are not adequately addressed in schools today? Why should these topics be addressed more?
27. What do you hope to get accomplished by the end of the year?
28. Tell me about an important day of your life. Why was it important?
29. Who do you consider your role model and why?
