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:

a) an introductory paragraph in which you clearly state the problem, what has caused it, and the consequences,

b) a main body in which you present several suggested solutions, each in a separate paragraph together with its consequences/results; and

c) a conclusion in which you summarise your opinion.
