PROBLEM-

SOLUTION
PARAGRAPH
FE S. PABLICO, SHS Teacher
What is a Problem-Solution
paragraph?
● Organizes ideas into problems and proposed solutions.
● The problem section usually includes the what, who, when,
where, why, and how of the problem.
● The other part then presents the major effects of the problem
and the possible solutions to address it, as well as the steps
in implementing the solution.
What is a Problem-Solution
paragraph?
● a method for analyzing and writing about a topic by identifying a
problem and proposing one or more solutions. A problem-solution
essay is a type of argument. "This sort of essay involves
argumentation that the writer seeks to convince the reader to
take a particular course of action. In explaining the problem, it
may also need to persuade the reader concerning specific
causes." (Dave Kemper et al., "Fusion: Integrated Reading and
Writing," 2016).
What is a Problem-Solution graphic
organizer?
● It is a graphical representation of a problem-solving process.
The diagram involves writing the essence of the problem in
the beginning, then suggesting steps for resolving it, and
finally producing a solution. By using these diagrams, it
becomes easy for a person or team to organize the relevant
information into an easily perusable and understandable
form. Source: https://www.edrawmax.com/article/problem-and-solution-graphic-organizer-examples.html

Read the sample paragraph.

Deforestation is a serious problem because forests and trees


aren’t just pretty to look at, they do an important job making the
earth’s environment suitable for life. They clean the air, store water,
preserve soil, and provide homes for animals. They also supply food,
fuel, wood products, and paper products for humans. In the past fifty
years, more than half of the world’s rainforests have been destroyed.
Today, the forests of the world are being cut down at a rate of fifty
acres every minute! Scientists say that if deforestation continues, the
world’s climate may change, floods may become more common, and
animals will die.
Answer the questions that follow.

1.What is the topic sentence?


2.How is the first paragraph developed? What
are the supporting ideas?
3.What do the supporting ideas show?
4.Is there a concluding sentence in the first
paragraph?
Read the sample 2nd paragraph.

One solution to the problem of deforestation is to use less paper. If


you use less paper, fewer trees will be cut for paper making. How can you
use less paper? One answer is to reduce your paper use by using both sides
of the paper when you photocopy, write a letter, or write an essay. A second
answer is to reuse old paper when you can, rather than using a new sheet of
paper. The backs of old envelopes are perfect for shopping lists or phone
messages, and when you write a rough draft of an essay, write it on the
back of something else. A final answer is to recycle used paper products
instead of throwing them away. Most schools, offices, and districts have
some kind of recycling center. If you follow the three Rs – reduce, reuse, and
recycle –, you can help save the world’s forests.
Answer the questions that follow.

1.What is the main idea of the second


paragraph? What is the topic sentence?
2.What solution does the writer offer? What
details support or explain the solution?
3.Is there a concluding sentence in the second
paragraph?
Read and understand the paragraph. Plot the
problem-solution ideas presented by using a graphic
organizer.
Astronauts face many challenges in space caused by weightlessness. One of
these obstacles is floating around the cabin. To solve this problem, astronauts wear
shoes that are coated with a special adhesive. This adhesive sticks to the floor of the
cabin. Serving food is another problem. It won’t stay put on the table! Experts
overcame this problem by putting food and drinks in pouches and tubes. It only
needs to be mixed with water. Weightlessness also causes problems when an
astronaut tries to work. The simple task of turning a wrench or a doorknob can be
difficult. Since there is no gravity to keep him down, when he exerts a force in one
direction, the opposite force may flip him over completely. To resolve this challenge,
he must be very careful about how much force he uses to do these simple tasks.
Here on earth, life is much simpler, thanks to gravity.

Today, most of the energy resources we have are generated from coal, oil, and
natural gas. However, these resources are limited. If continuously consumed at an
alarming rate, fossil fuels necessary for generating power to operate vehicles and
factories will run out before long. Nonetheless, this problem can be resolved using
alternative sources of energy and conservation efforts. First, using this alternative sources
of energy such as solar energy and fusion energy would lessen pollution. These
alternatives are more accessible and cost-efficient. Although there are some potential
risks in using fusion energy, these risks can be mitigated by implementing strict safety
measures. The second solution that governments can adopt is the enhancement of
conservation efforts. To do this, governments need to make the public more aware of the
benefits of conservation, as well as ways of conserving energy, such as recycling. Laws
can also be passed to mandate the public and all stakeholders to recycle energy.

Cats love to sleep.
A fifteen-year-old cat has probably spent ten years of
its life sleeping.

Also, cats use their whiskers as feelers to determine if


a space is too small to squeeze through.
