Problem
and Solution
Today we studied last lesson which is Problem and Solution. First, teacher began to explain what it is.
Problem and Solution is a pattern of organization where information in a passage is expressed as a dilemma or concerning issue (a problem) and something that was, can be, or should be done to remedy this issue (solution or and attempted solution). The problem and solution text is frequently cofused with the cause and effect pattern of organization, as cause and effect passages do not propose solutions but rather just explain why or how they happen.
dilemma = a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two different things you could do
We started to read an example that is about teen pragnantcies and analyzed the text.
Example: It seems like there has been a surge in teen pregnancies these days. Teen pregnancies make it very difficult for young mothers to pursue their dreams and meet the demands of an infant. Fortunately, most teen pregnancies can be easily prevented by using birth control; however, even birth control is not 100% effective. The most effective way to prevent teen pregnancies is abstinence, which is 100% effective.

Next, we opened the next page, she read a list of problem-solution markers and we repeated after her. After that, we did the Skill practice by circling the Problem Markers and highlighting the Solution Markers. this below as an example.
Culture shock has been described as a problem afflicting people who live in a culture that is not their own. Its symptoms can range from mild homesickness to a severe depression and disorientation, which can leave a person incapable of coping with even the minor demands of life. The two basic ways to overcome culture shock are spending some time in the new culture and maintaining an interest in it.

When we finished exercise, we had a break around 10 minutes for prepared to take a test. the test is quite hard for me, I hope I will past this test.
What did you find easy?
In my opinion, finding the discourse markers is easy for me because it can be noticed easily.
What did you find difficult?
I had a problem from this exercise because I didn't understand clearly and answered wrong during studying.
What did you solve the problem?
I tried to understand,listened to teacher when she explained, and looked for my mistake that why I answered wrong.
What are your attitudes towards the lesson?
In my opinion this lesson is very hard for me because Problem and Solution is similar to Cause and Effect. I should do exercise more and more for comprehension.
