Writing (an article
suggesting solutions to problems)
When we write an article suggesting solutions to problems we can divide it into five paragraphs. In the first paragraph we state the problem. In the next paragraphs (2, 3 and 4) we write our suggested solutions to the problem. We write each suggestion with results/examples in a separate paragraph. In the last paragraph we summarise our opinion. We normally use present tenses and conditionals type 2 in such articles.
If the authorities put rubbish bins on every street comer, people wouldn’t drop litter in the streets.
