problem-and-solution essay, ensure
that you can produce a realistic
solution for the problem.

vocabularies that will appeal to your
audience. Make sure that your suggestions
will be appropriate to your audience as well.
b. State your purpose - State your purpose
in a single sentence then make use of this to
elaborate on your writing.
c. Analyzing the problem - Make time to
research about your chosen topic. Research
about the definitions, explanations, and related
information that can support your chosen topic.
d. Seeing the solution - As you plan for your

your proposed solution. Make sure to organize
an outline to structure your thoughts.

audience believe everything in your essay without
proper facts, statistics, examples, and anecdotes.
a. Using examples and anecdotes - As a speaker,
you may use your personal experiences as an
example; however, this will depend on your topic.
Having examples help readers to vividly picture the
point that you are trying to make. These examples
will help persuade your readers.
