10. Directions: Write YES if the paragraph contains a problem-solution
relationship; NO if it does not.
Even if it is difficult, the problem about drugs can be solved or minimized.
How? What can be done to solve the problem on drug abuse in young
people? Education is the most effective solution. Children need to be
taught about the dangers of drug abuse at home and in school. Parents
can talk about the positive and negative effects of drugs while having
breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Teachers can also discuss how students can
avoid getting involved in drugs in their lessons. Barangay and other
officials can also provide enjoyable activities such as games, sports, and
shows that will take the attention of children away from bad influences
like drugs.

11. Assemble the puzzle pieces to complete the picture.
When we face problem, we become sad but when you find a
solution you will be surprised, calmed and happy.

12. Have you ever encountered problems? What
were they? How were you able to choose the
appropriate solution for it? Some informational
text types are organized by problem and
solution. This text begins with presentation of a
problem between individuals, among groups, or
an issue going on in the world. This is followed
by one or more possible solutions that are
explained.

13. A problem and solution paragraph essay or paragraph is
actually similar with a cause-and-effect paragraph. Here,
the problem may be considered a cause by which a
solution (effect) must be given. A problem basically gives
or introduces the challenge, issue, or difficult situation
while the solution provides the answer, response, or
action that will be done to try to address the problem.
When the problem and the solution are written in a
form of a paragraph, the paragraph is said to contain
problem-solution relationship.

14. The way or format in which the problem-solution
relationship is written varies based on two styles:
1. A problem stated in one separate sentence then
followed by different sentences containing the solutions;
or
2. Both the problem and solution are stated in the same
sentence and are also followed by other pair of
problems and solutions combined in the succeeding
sentences.

15. Whatever, format is used, the most important
thing to remember is that a problem is identified
and that the solutions to this problem or problems
are also enumerated in the paragraph. To make
the ideas clearer in terms of importance or
sequence, some transitional words are also used.

16. STEPS IN WRITING PROBLEM-SOLUTION ESSAYS OR PARAGRAPHS
1. Identify a common, preferably a real-life problem or
problems that you can talk about in your composition.
Usually, the best problems to talk about are those that you,
yourself, are facing. Examples of a real-life problem.
a. Difficulty in answering exercises in the modules.
b. Very slow internet especially during daytime.
c. Getting bored at home during the weekends.
2. Think about what you can do to solve or minimize the
identified problem.

17. PROBLEM - Difficulty in answering exercises in the modules.
SOLUTION- Ask a family member or friend who can help in
understanding the module.
PROBLEM – Very slow internet especially during daytime
SOLUTION – Use the internet at night or very early in the
morning when there are fewer people who use the
internet.

18. PROBLEM - Getting bored at home during the
weekends
SOLUTION - Start doing some worthwhile activities
like learning how to cook different types of food,
gardening, and rearranging furniture and things

19. 3. Once you identified and listed the problem or problems
and the solutions, use a particular way or style in writing
the paragraph. You can review the two forms given in the
previous activities.
4. You may use transitional devices such as one, two, first,
second, next, another, then, finally, so, because, for, as a
result, that is why, etc. to arrange the flow of thought
smoothly. Study the example that follows.

20. Anton’s parents found out that his grades had become very low.
To solve this problem his parents did the following things. First,
they talked to him calmly after dinner and asked him his plans
about his grades. Second, they went to school and spoke with the
subject teachers, adviser, and school manager to iron things out.
Third, they paid closer attention to his needs with regards to
projects and extracurricular activities. As a result of these
actions, Anton was able to recover and pass the subject.

protection against COVID-19. People are not allowed to travel
anywhere because the virus is already everywhere. In order to
find and identify people who were exposed to the virus, contact
tracers have been hired. Certain places like cities and barangays
are also put on a lockdown to control the spread of the disease.
If somebody gets sick, he or she is immediately isolated and
treated. Almost everybody is also wearing a facemask since we
do not know if the person next to us carries the virus. All these
actions may be difficult but are life-saving.

mark (/) to the sentence which has the problem-solution
relationship.

44. Greetings
You have learned that cause is the reason why
something happens and effect is the result on what
actually happens. To show clearer and more precise
relationship between ideas in a sentence we use
conjunctions. Other than that, we often use
subordinating conjunctions to express a reason or
purpose. Here are some of the examples. They are
because, since, while, if, when, that, in order and
although.

45. Study how to join ideas in answering the question.
What are the causes and effects of COVID-19 to
people?

46. Possible answers are:
1. Because of Covid-19, many people
are starving
2. Since the arrival of Covid-19 in the
Philippines, many have lost their
jobs, fell ill, and died.
3. If you do not follow health
protocols, you may catch the virus.

47. The sentences above are examples of
complex sentences.
Let us learn more about cause-and-effect
relationship using complex sentences.
Look at how the ideas I follow the health
protocols of COVID-19 pandemic and I am
saved can be combined. Can you explain
the meaning of each combination?

49. 1. If I follow the health protocols of COVID-19 pandemic,
I am saved.
2. When I follow the health protocols of COVID-19
pandemic, I am saved.

although).

60. Use an independent clause to show effect by completing
each complex sentence.

63. Combine the independent clause with the dependent
clause to make a complex sentence.

64. Greetings
You have learned from the previous lesson that
complex sentence is a sentence in which at least two
ideas are combined into a single sentence. The two
ideas could be expressed as two separate sentences,
but they are more effectively expressed in a complex
sentence. In a complex sentence the two ideas can
be combined in a way that shows their cause-and-
effect relationship. Cause and effect is a relationship
between events or things, where one is the result of the
other or others. This is a combination of action and
reaction.

suggested solutions are presented.

independent and dependent clauses. Write P below the clause that
