| An essay discussing problems and suggesting solutions is a formal piece of writing. You should state the problem and its causes clearly, then present your suggestions and the expected results or consequences these might have.
A successful essay of this type should consist of:
· an introductory paragraph in which you clearly state the problem, what has caused it, and the consequences;
· a main body in which you resent several suggested solutions, each in a separate paragraph together with its consequences / results;
· a conclusion in which you summarise your opinion.
