How to do it
Initially you need to determine what you have to include in the proposal. All of that information is contained within the question. Equally the question often provides the likely headers we might use. Our proposal may well have the following layout and headers.

Introduction (or Background)
Present Situation

Writing an introduction
The introduction is the one part of the proposal, like the report, where the structure tends to be the same. An introduction needs to state the purpose of the proposal and provide any relevant background. The sample below is a typical approach to the introduction.
Sample introduction
The aim/purpose of this proposal is to consider ways to improve the current lack of regular social contact between university students and local residents.
(Background) Many of these students live on campus or with other students in the town.
Other sections of the proposal
For each of the remaining parts it is important to provide support and details to any opinions you offer. As you can see in the example section below, the explanation contains sufficient relevant details.
Current situation
Current Situation
The university campus has students from many parts of the world and there seems to be a good level of integration. This comes from the variety of activities available to students, however, there is nothing similar in the town.
Writing a conclusion or recommendation
The final part of a proposal is where a reader expects to see an overall analysis. It should bring together what you have said in the rest of the proposal.
