Module 1 Lesson 7

Skills
Problem/
● Organizes ideas into problems
Solution
and offers solutions
● Problems answers wh-questions
● Solutions present the major
effects of the problem
• A problem/solution essay presents a
problem, usually discussing several
aspects of the problem, then
concludes by discussing solutions to
the problem.

• It is a method of analyzing and writing


about a topic by identifying a problem
and proposing one or more solutions.
The problem may be addressed in the
following ways:
Effect only • Describe the problem only in terms
of its effects.
• Use examples.
Cause and effects • Outline the causes of the problem.
• Discuss solutions in terms of
preventive measures.
Extended Example • After a topic sentence, illustrate the
problem by using an extended
example (through a story or an
anecdote from your introduction).
Here are some ways to present solutions:
Preventive measures • Ways to prevent the problem from occurring in
the first place
• For example: How to prevent Covid-19
A series of steps • Suggest the easiest and most obvious solution
first, but if that doesn’t work, try something else,
etc.
• For example: if you have a neighbor who does
not wear mask nor practice social distancing,
you might first talk to him/her; if that doesn’t
work, arrange for a mediator; etc. (a last resort
might be to call the police).
Advice • Give some advice and helpful hints.
A choice of solutions • Include solutions that have already been tried,
have been unsuccessful, and new solutions
which you are proposing.
