Hi Rai Rai,

Please remember that there is no single correct way to write an essay. The following is not the only approach to these questions.

For this question, I personally would use argument essay structure. In my introduction paragraph, my response to the first part of the question would be something like: "This essay will argue that modern consumer reaction to advertisements has been dulled due to to overexposure."

To address the second part of the question, I would follow the above sentence with another declaration: "The manner in which education can act to protect the interests of consumers will also be looked at."

Following this introduction paragraph, I would commit one supporting paragraph to uphold my claim that advertisement influence is weak among modern consumers. A second supporting paragraph would address the way in which education can help protect the interests of consumers. I would find some way to transition between these two ideas smoothly. This transition language would appear in the first sentence of the second supporting paragraph.

I'm not sure the question has been perfectly recreate here, but the gist of it is clear. This would again be a straightforward argument essay. Make claims in your introduction paragraph regarding (1) what problems young people in your country face and (2) what can the government do to improve the situations of young people in your country. Use supporting paragraph one to provide evidence for, discuss and conclude the first part of the question. Use supporting paragraph two to do the same for the second. Use connective language to show a fluency and cohesion between the two paragraphs. Reiterate your position in the conclusion.

Hope that helps,
Ryan
