INTRODUCTION

A.    Background

In English there are many different types of text problem and solution text, narrative text, descriptive, report, etc. In reading the course we will discuss the types of the text. And one of the texts which we discuss in this paper is a problem and solution text.

1.      What is the definition of problem and solution text?

CHAPTER II

DISCUSSION

A.      The Definition of Problem and Solution

            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 attempted solution). The problem and solution text structure may seem like it would be easy to recognize, but it can be moderately difficult to identify because it is frequently confused with the cause and effect pattern of organization, as they both have relational structures; however, if you read the passage and look specifically for both a problem and a solution to the problem, you should find it pretty easy to distinguish from cause and effect, as cause and effect passages do not propose solutions to any negative occurrences within the passage but rather just explain why or how they happen.

B.       Generic Structure of Problem and Solution

            Organizing a Problem-Solution Essay

"How do you organize a problem-solution paper? Though to some extent this depends on your topic, do make sure that you include the following information:

·         Introduction
Identify the problem in a nutshell. Explain why this is a problem, and mention who should be concerned about it.

·         Problem Paragraph(s)

Explain the problem clearly and specifically. Demonstrate that this is not just a personal complaint, but a genuine problem that affects many people.

·         Solution Paragraph(s)

Offer a concrete solution to the problem, and explain why this is the best one available. You may want to point out why other possible solutions are inferior to yours. If your solution calls for a series of steps or actions to be followed, present these steps in a logical order.

How to Relieve Exam Anxiety

                 There are certain things which students can do  if they suffer from exam anxiety. To begin  with,  they should get a good night’s sleep the day before the exam. If they sleep well, they will be able to concentrate and do well in the exam . If not, this will cause more stress  and anxiety. The second effective solution is to change their poor study habits. If they start  to study one day before the exam, this will cause worry and stress. However, if  they change such habits and start to study regularly, this will give them confidence  before and  during the exam. The last thing they should do is to think positive.  When they think positive, they will get rid of all their fears and worries. For example,  visualizing themselves as a student who has a high mark before the exam  can make them feel better. In summary, getting a good night’s sleep, changing their poor study habits and thinking positive are effective solutions to deal with exam anxiety.  

Here are the real exam-anxiety relieving techniques:

• Approach the exam with confidence (Study Guides and Strategies)
• Learn material thoroughly so that you can still remember it under stress
• Self test as much as possible
• Avoid laziness and procrastination
• Use good time management
• Avoid cramming and the desire to do so
• Strive to stay relaxed and concentrate
• Avoid conversation or talking to those who are next to you or that will speak negatively.
• Have a healthy lifestyle: get enough sleep, eat well, exercise, and “down time”
• Sit in a well lit area of the room with the least distractions
• Be on time for the test
• Read test instructions and directions carefully
• Take slow deep breaths when the test is being passed out and when needed during testing
• Stay focused on only the exam
• Avoid day dreaming
• Make flash cards or outlines to study with
• Take good notes and review them after every class.
