Rewrite sentences in more formal style

Hello, everybody! I'm glad to join this community and I hope to develop my knowledge using your help.
I have a task to rewrite sentences in more formal style, may I ask for your help? Emotion: smile
Sentences are:
1) I think that there’s a big risk of more strikes, disorder etc.
2) A few years ago they allowed women to vote.
3) Regrettably, the inflation in Russia led to increased poverty, illness and so on.
4) Sometimes soon they will find a vaccine for malaria.
5) What were the main causes of the American Revolution?

Thank you in advance! Maybe you have some good website on your mind to suggest for such purpose - transfer from informal to formal?
