If they are to be stories, then you can try these topics, if you like :p

1. Write about an incident which taught you that money is not the most important thing in life.
2. Write a story which includes the sentence: "When I thought about it, I couldn't deny the fact that we'd been dishonest."
3. Write about an occasion someone saved you at the last moment.
4. Marriage
5. Write a story in which you undergo a fiasco.

^ Hope you'll like them. :p

You can also list down all the topics that fall under argumentative writing, story, descriptive, monologues, discursive etc from the past papers and practice one from each everyday. You will not hunt for topics every time you sit to study once I've listed everything down.. So that saves time aswell

If you are very much worried about the creative essays than I'd suggest you try to write on some of the topics provided in past papers, however the real thing the cambridge examiners will mark you on would be your language, prose and content. If you don't already read books grab one with good language such as a classic or a modern one that hasn't been written in un-impressive language.
Check out synonyms for ordinary words such as Sad= Gloomy, Angry= Anguished, Happy= Jubilant
Use the words in your essay and make sure YOU DO use them.
Use similies, metaphors and understand PUNCTUATION...
You can't really go wrong if you develop good vocabulary, punctuating skills and most importantly your imagination.
oh and keep a diary if that helps...writing everyday improves your skills!

Hope that helps since that's what I did and ended up with an A*
If you need any more help all you need to do is ask. (y)(y)(y):X3::LOL:
