ฺBlog 14 : Problem and Solution





              On Monday 28 March  I studied unit 9 "Problem and Solution ". I studied that " Problem and Solution was pattern of organization where information in a passage was 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)." 
            I studied that "as cause and effect passages do not propose solution but rather just explain why or how they happen".

    Finally ,  I though that problem about teen pregnancies was easy. But I  thought studied about using solution markers was  difficult. The best way to got into reading was simply to read freely and practiced  from the News or novels. This practice helped me develop a feel for writing. My attitudes towards the lesson was not  easy.
