What problems could it trigger?" or "Some people believe we should study new things permanently through life. To what extent do you agree?". In letters, an often task is "Write to your manager about a course you would like to attend and explain (1) what course it is, (2) how you will manage your work time, (3) how this course will help you to be more effective".
