it would be easier to end up with the issue
The re-usable link is https://ske.li/addressissue and looks like this:
Of course, it is possible that this student meant the opposite, in which case this reusable link may help https://ske.li/avoidissue:
Another way of raising the awareness of which verbs usually occur with issue and problem is to look at verb collocates. The reusable link is https://ske.li/solve_prob and it looks like this:
Quite often in with these verbs we find it is solve/address this problem/issue rather than the problem/issue. Thus, this link might also be useful https://ske.li/solve_problem . It looks like this:
The corresponding collocation list (verbs before this problem/issue) can be found here https://ske.li/v_this_problem. It looks like this:

the consequences this phenomenon is causing
There are several ways of raising awareness of the issue here. One way might be to use this link https://ske.li/cause_random_conc and encourage more advanced/experienced students to spot typical things that are caused:
It may seem more helpful at an earlier stage or with less advanced students to make the collocates of cause more obvious, in which case the reusable link that can be used is https://ske.li/cause_probs. It looks like this:
Another, even more obvious way of showing the association between cause and unpleasant consequences is to show the top noun collocates via a Word Sketch. The link is https://ske.li/cause_wsk and it looks like this:
We are grateful to Ana Frankenburg-Garcia (see also Collocaid site) for pointing this out (about Word Sketches and cause).
This link was created in response to a student writing:
it can lead people to commit horrible things
The link is https://ske.li/commit_act and looks like this:
The first link shows commit + adjective + noun, but you get different and interesting results if you just look for nouns after commit; the re-usable link is https://ske.li/commit_suicide and looks like this:
