 Hi there. Welcome to our online self-access materials on problem solution essays. Let me ask you a question first. What is the similarity between a problem solution essay and a foreign against essay? I'm going to think about it. We'll come back to the question later. Okay, in this unit we look at different parts of the problem solution essay. The causes of the problem, the effects or impacts of the problem, and possible solutions to the problem. We have example essays on different problem solution topics to guide you through the process and examples of how to write effective introductions and conclusions. Okay, so what's the answer to the question I asked earlier? What's the similarity between a problem solution essay and a foreign against essay? Well, you could say that they are both types of argumentative essay. In a problem solution essay, you need to convince the reader that your solutions are the most logical. Okay, we also have extra materials to help you better understand this topic. You can find them in the further learning materials section. And if you're still unsure about anything in this unit, you can always ask the staff in the independent learning center of your university. We hope you found this information useful.
