Problem and Solution

          On Monday 24th April, we started to learn the new lesson about “Problem and Solution”.
 At first, the teacher opened some words from the Cambridge Dictionary Online for us to pronounce such as:
- problem  (n.) /ˈprɒb.ləm/ = a situation, person, or thing that needs attention and needs to be dealt with or solved
- solve (v.) /sɒlv/ = to find an answer to a problem

      Next, the teacher gave us the handout about the problem and solution and she told us to read in the first page. That was about the purpose of problem and solution. So, it’s a pattern of the 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 attempted solution).
      After that, the teacher told us to read the example in the handout and taught us about how to find the problem and a solution passages in the text and she explained us about the markers.

      Next, we did the skill practice in the handout. That was about “circle the Problem Markers and highlight the Solution Markers then write either Problem or Solution in the margin next to the relevant information”.
      I spent a long time to do this practice. After we did it finished, the teacher gave us the corrective feedback and then the teacher continued told us to do the exercise 1 that was ”Read the passages, wrote the title, and the sentence explaining the main idea of the passage then created a problem and solution, graphic organizer”.

      After that, the teacher asked us for the answer about the practice and gave us the corrective feedback of the first text. Finally, the teacher told us to do the other texts for homework.
      For this week, I think I can do the practice in the text as well because I really like to analyze things such as the problem or solution. Furthermore, I had learned about the Discourse Markers of the Problem and Solution in this week. I can do many activities for easily from now on! Because I think that this lesson always uses in daily life.

    I felt good for this week very much.
