PROBLEM/SOLUTION ESSAY (4/5/7/3 OR 4/5/5/3)

TOPIC: Global warming is one of the biggest threats humans face in the 21st
century, and sea levels are continuing to increase at alarming rates. What are the
serious problems associated with the above issue, and what can be done to deal
with?

INTRODUCTION: 4 SENTENCES
It is often said that many people all over the world are now drawing attention to…(GENERAL
INTRODUCTION). In fact, it is widely believed that…(PROBLEM). As far as I am concerned,
there has been a highly problematic issue, and this raises the question in relation to its
problems and possible solutions to cope with. Therefore, some major points will be
addressed in the following paragraphs.

BODY: 5/5 OR 5/7

To begin with, there are two primary issues caused by…(PROBLEM). First of all, it is a well-
documented fact that…(PROBLEM 1). The most obvious example to prove is
that...(SUPPORTING PROBLEM 1). Furthermore, there is no doubt that...(PROBLEM 2). For
instance,...(SUPPORTING PROBLEM 2).

In order to cope with the above issue, there are a number of solutions that could be taken into
consideration. First and foremost, it is commonly accepted that...(SOLUTION 1). A clear
example being found to prove is that...(SUPPORTING SOLUTION 1). Moreover, there is no
denying that...(SOLUTION 2). This is supported by the fact that...( SUPPORTING SOLUTION
2). Finally, it is inevitable that...(SOLUTION 3). For example,...(SUPPORTING SOLUTION 3).

CONCLUSION: 3 SENTENCES.
To conclude, it is my strong belief that...(PROBLEM). Accordingly, I highly
recommend that the governments should enhance people’s awareness in terms
of...If this recommendation is carried out, the comprehensive development
of...(our future generations/our society) will be ensured.
It is often said that many people all over the world are now drawing
attention to the effects of climate change on our current world. In fact, it is widely
believed that global warming is considered as one of the most serious issues on
the Earth, and sea levels have risen significantly. As far as I am concerned, there
has been a highly problematic issue, and this raises the question in relation to its
problems and possible solutions to cope with. Therefore, some major points will
be addressed in the following paragraphs.

To begin with, there are two primary issues caused by global warming and sea level rise.
First of all, it is a well-documented fact that a significant increase in the number of natural
disasters, such as drought, tornado, tsunami and earthquake, has been witnessed in the last
few years. For instance, many poor people living in the Mekong River Delta in the South of
Vietnam have lost their houses due to the floods and rising sea levels. Furthermore, there is no
doubt that an increasing quantity of creatures are being on the verge of extinction as they find it
hard to adapt climate change. The most obvious example to prove is that Southern pole is now
destroying the live space of the bear inhabiting here, in which welcomes this animal to the
endangered list.

- Create (v)/// creation (n)//// creatures (n)

- Find it hard to do sth = find it difficult to do sth.
- Adapt (v) ///// adopt (v)
- The endangered list /// the verge of extinction.
- Due to = because of //// due to the fact that = because.

In order to deal with the above issue, there are a number of potential solutions that could be
taken into account. First and foremost, it is commonly accepted that the restriction of gas
emissions and exhaust fumes which are known to be the major factors resulting in greenhouse
effect should be applied. When the temperature on the Earth is controlled, the issue of ice melt
and the speed of rising sea levels will be partly prevented. Moreover, there is no denying that
facilities and infrastructures should be designed to sustain in the face of natural catastrophes.
Finally, it is inevitable that saving water is defined as the core strategy from now on to save
millions of people’s lives due to the natural disasters.

To conclude, it is my strong belief that climate change and the rise of sea levels deserve our
attention in the modern world. Accordingly, I highly recommend that the governments should
enhance people’s awareness in terms of the above issue. If this recommendation is carried
out, the comprehensive development of our future generations will be ensured.

(i) the advantages of applying computers and the Internet in university education are beneficial
to university students for their studies.

(ii) the advantages of applying computers and the Internet in university education outweigh the
disadvantages.

(iii) parents should be responsible for educating children how to become good members in
the society.
