PROBLEM-SOLUTION

A WRITING STYLE WHERE INFORMATION IN A

PASSAGE IS EXPRESSED AS AN ISSUE AND
SOMETHING THAT CAN BE OR SHOULD BE DONE TO
SOLVE THIS ISSUE.

A METHOD FOR ANALYZING A TOPIC

BY IDENTIFYING A PROBLEM AND
PROPOSING ONE OR MORE SOLUTIONS
 HEALING A CHILD’S
STITCHES AND BURNS
BY EMERSON T. ARMERO
(IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION IN THE PASSAGE)
 THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF CIFL OR CHILDREN IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW
ESSAY
MAY COMMIT MORE JUVENILE CRIMES DESPITE THE INTENSE EFFORT OF TEACHERS, THE BARANGAYS, THE
POLICE AND THE GUIDANCE OFFICES. THIS POSES A HUGE CHALLENGE TO GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES AND THE
WHOLE SOCIETY AS WELL SINCE THESE MINORS ARE PROTECTED BY LAW AND SHOULD NOT BE HARMED BY
ALL MEANS.

BASICALLY, WHILE BEING INTERROGATED UPON, THESE CHILD OFFENDERS DO NOT TAKE THEIR CASE
SERIOUSLY. THEY SOMETIMES TREAT THEIR OFFENSE AS A PRACTICAL JOKE SIMILAR TO AN AMUSING
SNAPCHAT OR A TIKTOK MOMENT. OTHERS CONSIDER THEIR WAYWARDNESS AS PART OF THEIR GROWING UP
YEARS–THEIR BEING YOUNG, WILD AND FREE. AND THEY BLEND WITH THE OTHER CIFL REGULARS, THEREBY
ESTABLISHING AN ORGANIZATION OF FUTURE GANGSTERS. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE NOT GIVEN THE
CHANCE TO REFORM THEIR CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GO TO JAIL AND SHOULD BE WITH THEIR
PARENTS’ CUSTODY WITHIN 24 HOURS. ADDITIONALLY, SOME OF THEM TURN TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

THERE MIGHT BE TWO DOABLE SOLUTIONS TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS
PARAGRAPHS. THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTENSELY REHABILITATE AND
PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS SUITED TO THEIR NEEDS AND ABILITIES WHICH WILL PREPARE THEM IN THE
HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE. IT IS ALSO EQUALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY GET THE FULL SUPPORT AND
ENCOURAGEMENT OF THEIR PARENTS AND FELLOW LEARNERS.

IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT EDUCATION STILL PAVES THE WAY FOR CIFL LEARNERS TO MEND
THEIR WAYS. FURTHERMORE, IT IS STILL EVERYBODY’S RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP THEM CHANGE, TO MOTIVATE
THEM TO CHANGE AND STAY AWAY FROM TEMPTATIONS THAT MAY INEVITABLY ARISE.
ESSAY

A PROBLEM/SOLUTION ESSAY PRESENTS A

PROBLEM, USUALLY DISCUSSING SEVERAL ASPECTS
OF THE PROBLEM, THEN CONCLUDES BY DISCUSSING
SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM MAY
BE ADDRESSED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
 EFFECTS ONLY
•DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM ONLY IN

TERMS OF ITS EFFECTS.

•USE EXAMPLES.

Exercise is a beneficial activity for our

physical health. However overdoing it may involve
risks such as: muscular injuries, sprain, fatigue,
etc..
 CAUSES AND EFFECTS
•OUTLINE THE CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM.
•DISCUSS SOLUTIONS IN TERMS OF
PREVENTIVE MEASURES.

OVEREXERCISING CAN BE CAUSED BY A MULTITUDE

OF FACTORS THAT CAUSE GREAT HARM TO THE BODY. NOT
KNOWING YOUR LIMITS BY OVEREXERTING YOURSELF WITH
THE DESIRE TO ACHIEVE RESULTS QUICKLY CAN SOMETIMES
CAUSE OVEREXERCISING.
 EXTENDED EXAMPLE
•AFTER A TOPIC SENTENCE, ILLUSTRATE THE PROBLEM
BY USING AN EXTENDED EXAMPLE (THROUGH A STORY
OR AN ANECDOTE FROM YOUR INTRODUCTION).

SPORTS IKE BASKETBALL HAVE MANY BENEFITS LIKE

HAVING A GREATER CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE, BUT IT
ALSO HAS RISKS, LIKE INJURIES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE
FOR JAYSON, WHOSE ACL WAS TORN DURING A
BASKETBALL GAME. FROM HIS EXPERIENCE, HE COULD
NOT WALK PROPERLY AFTER THAT AND HIS KNEE GOT
SWOLLEN.
ESSAY

THE SOLUTIONS MAY BE PRESENTED IN VARIOUS

WAYS AND YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHICH
WAY WOULD BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THE
PARTICULAR PROBLEM YOU ARE DISCUSSING.
HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO PRESENT SOLUTIONS:
 1. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
•WAYS TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM
OCCURRING IN THE FIRST PLACE
EXAMPLES:
HOW TO PREVENT COVID-19

PROBLEM: COVID-19 IS BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD AS EACH DAY PASSES.

SOLUTION: TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, ONE MUST FOLLOW THE

DOH PROTOCOLS, LIKE SOCIALLY DISTANCING YOURSELF ATLEAST 6 FT FROM
OTHERS, WEARING A FACE MASK, AND SANITIZING ONESELF.
 2. ADVICE
•GIVE SOME ADVICE AND HELPFUL HINTS.
EXAMPLE:

PROBLEM: PEER PRESSURE IS ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT TEENAGE PEOPLE
EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOL.

SOLUTION: IN ENCOUNTERING SITUATION INVOLVING PEER PRESSURE, ONE OF

THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVICES IS TO STAND YOUR GROUND AND DONT DO WHAT
YOU FEEL LIKE WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR YOU FROM A MORAL PERSPECTIVE. YOU
HAVE TO BE SMART ABOUT IT AND THINK ABOUT THINGS CRITICALLY BEFORE
PARTAKING IN THEM.
 3. A CHOICE OF SOLUTIONS
•INCLUDE SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRIED, HAVE BEEN
UNSUCCESSFUL, AND NEW SOLUTIONS WHICH YOU ARE PROPOSING.

EXAMPLE:
YOUR FRIEND IS ASKING FOR HELP ON YOUR MATH ASSIGNMENT BUT
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU YOURSELF ARE INEPT AT IT TOO. SO, YOU AND
YOUR FRIEND TRY TO COME UP WITH ALL MANNER OF SOLUTIONS TO
FIND THE ANSWER. THE TRIAL AND ERROR METHOD COMMENCES
WITH EVEN MORE SOLUTIONS BEING PROPOSED; HOWEVER, SINCE
BOTH OF YOU ARE TIRED, YOU BOTH DECIDE TO CONSULT THE SMART
MATH GUY OF THE CLASS FOR HIS ANSWERS.

4. 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 TALK TO HIM/HER; IF THAT

DOESN’T WORK, ARRANGE FOR A MEDIATOR; ETC. (A LAST RESORT MIGHT BE

TO CALL THE POLICE).

IF YOU WANT TO FIX YOUR BROKEN TV, CALL A TV TECHNICIAN TO FIX IT; IF

THAT DOESN'T WORK, TRY REASONING OUT WITH IT OR BULLY AND GASLIGHT

IT INTO WORKING. SHOULD ALL OF THOSE OPTIONS FAIL, TRY TO HAMMER IT

WITH ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH TO MAKE IT WORK.

ESSAY HEALING A CHILD’S STITCHES AND BURNS

BY EMERSON T. ARMERO

THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF CIFL OR CHILDREN IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW MAY COMMIT MORE
JUVENILE CRIMES DESPITE THE INTENSE EFFORT OF TEACHERS, THE BARANGAYS, THE POLICE AND THE GUIDANCE OFFICES.
THIS POSES A HUGE CHALLENGE TO GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES AND THE WHOLE SOCIETY AS WELL SINCE THESE MINORS ARE
PROTECTED BY LAW AND SHOULD NOT BE HARMED BY ALL MEANS.

BASICALLY, WHILE BEING INTERROGATED UPON, THESE CHILD OFFENDERS DO NOT TAKE THEIR CASE SERIOUSLY. THEY
SOMETIMES TREAT THEIR OFFENSE AS A PRACTICAL JOKE SIMILAR TO AN AMUSING SNAPCHAT OR A TIKTOK MOMENT. OTHERS
CONSIDER THEIR WAYWARDNESS AS PART OF THEIR GROWING UP YEARS–THEIR BEING YOUNG, WILD AND FREE. AND THEY
BLEND WITH THE OTHER CIFL REGULARS, THEREBY ESTABLISHING AN ORGANIZATION OF FUTURE GANGSTERS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE NOT GIVEN THE CHANCE TO REFORM THEIR CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GO TO JAIL AND
SHOULD BE WITH THEIR PARENTS’ CUSTODY WITHIN 24 HOURS. ADDITIONALLY, SOME OF THEM TURN TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

THERE MIGHT BE TWO DOABLE SOLUTIONS TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPHS. THE
FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTENSELY REHABILITATE AND PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
SUITED TO THEIR NEEDS AND ABILITIES WHICH WILL PREPARE THEM IN THE HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE. IT IS ALSO EQUALLY
IMPORTANT THAT THEY GET THE FULL SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF THEIR PARENTS AND FELLOW LEARNERS.

IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT EDUCATION STILL PAVES THE WAY FOR CIFL LEARNERS TO MEND THEIR WAYS.
FURTHERMORE, IT IS STILL EVERYBODY’S RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP THEM CHANGE, TO MOTIVATE THEM TO CHANGE AND STAY
AWAY FROM TEMPTATIONS THAT MAY INEVITABLY ARISE.

WHAT I’VE LEARNED
THESE ARE THE FOLLOWING STEPS IN DEVELOPING
A PROBLEM-AND-SOLUTION TEXT
1.) DEFINE THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED

2.) DECIDE HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR WRITING

3.) GATHER SUPPORTING INFORMATION

4.) WRITE A THESIS STATEMENT

5.) SUPPORT YOUR THESIS WITH EXAMPLES AND DETAILS

6.) BRAINSTORM TO IDENTIFY SEVERAL SOLUTIONS

7.) WRITE A STRONG CONCLUSION
