Generally, you’ll be asked to write about both the problem, or cause, and the solution to a specific issue. Sometimes, however, you will only be required to write about possible solutions.
The 3 essay types:
Problem and solution
Cause and solution
Just the solution
It’s important that you are able to recognise the common synonyms, words and phrases used in problem solution questions. Here are the key words and their synonyms used in the questions above.

Another possible way to structure your problem/solution essay is this;
Introduction
Problem 1 – Describe a specific problem and give a solution
Problem 2 – Describe another specific problem and give a solution
Problem 3 – Describe a third specific problem and give a solution
Conclusion
You will need to make a choice, either describe each problem and give a solution in the same paragraph, or split the information into separate paragraphs, with only one main idea in each of the main body paragraphs.
