问题解决型
题目给出的问题大多是当今社会的热门话题，要求考生针对该问题进行论述，或指出问题的危害，或分析问题的原因，最后给出解决问题的建议。写好此类文章的关键是“解决”问题。开篇要提出问题，可以适当描述一下人们对该问题的普遍态度和看法;主题要详细阐述该问题，或说明其起因，或论述其危害，或两者兼而有之;最后提出解决问题的办法，给出的办法应既符合逻辑又合乎情理。
以题为On the Shortage of Fresh Water 的作文为例，考生可以参考以下步骤行文：
1) 提出问题，适当描述人们对该问题的看法，如：
Nowadays, global shortage of fresh water has become a serious problem on our planet. Many
People think that water will never be used up and we never have to worry about water shortage.
2) 说明原因，如：
The truth is that water is rather limited on the earth. A large amount of water has been polluted every day. And many people don’t pay much attention on saving water so that it has been wasted seriously. At the same time, water is more needed than before due to the rapid increase of population and fast development of industries.
3) 提出解决办法，如：
What can we do? First. I think people should be aware of the situation about the shortage of fresh water, and everyone should learn to save water. Second, certain laws should be made to punish those who polluted water. And government should take measures to protect the existing water resource. In this way, perhaps the problem will not be a problem in the future.
