Tips to write an essay that suggests reasons for and solutions to a problem

1. Read the question carefully. If the question asks you to discuss the reasons for a problem and suggest solutions, make sure you do both.
2. In your introduction, restate the question in your own words and say what your essay will do. This essay will outline the reasons for … and offer solutions to the problem.
3. Plan the paragraphs of your essay before you write. Start each paragraph with a topic sentence that summarises the main idea of the paragraph.
4. Develop your position fully by extending your ideas and using examples to support your arguments. Use linking expressions like Coupled with, Furthermore, In fact, and Given these points to show what is coming next.
5. Try to use a wide range of vocabulary. Use natural-sounding collocations like equal opportunities and role model. Avoid repetition by using synonyms or words with similar meanings: girls, young women, females; children, youngsters. You can also use the former and the latter to refer to things you have just mentioned.
6. Build the conclusion from the ideas in the essay rather than introducing new ones.
