Problem and Solution (Continued)
Today was the last day of classes A Discourse Approach in Reading. Today, we were monitoring the exercises together.
Exercise 1 : Read each passage. Write the title, and the sentence explaining the main idea of the passage. Then create a problem and solution graphic organizer.
The term “machine gun” is commonly applied to any gun that is designed to fire repeatedly and in rapid succession for as long as the trigger is held down. During the course of warfare, the trigger of some machine guns may be held down almost continuously for hours to create suppressant fire (rounds fired not necessarily to kill an enemy, but to prevent them from attacking). All of this firing can generate a lot of heat, which may cause the weapon to overheat and malfunction. But this situation has been addressed in a number of ways. For one, practically all machine guns fire from an open bolt, which allows air to cool the breach between bursts of fire. Additionally, some machine guns have removable barrels, which allow hot barrels to be replaced. And some advanced machine guns even have sophisticated barrel cooling systems, which maintain a functional heat level within the weapon. As you might have concluded, a lot of brain power has gone into keeping those guns firing.
Title: Solving Machine Gun Overheat and Malfunction Problems
Main idea: There are solutions to machine gun overheat and malfunction problem.

The term "Amnesia" refers to complete or partial memory loss. Almost all of us will experience some form of Amnesia in our lives, even if it's just a simple case of verbal amnesia, like forgetting someone's name. Fortunately, there are things that you can do to prevent amnesia. Here is a list of foods that you can eat to improve your memory: almonds, walnuts, bananas, honey, apples, and black pepper. Though these foods may not reverse post-traumatic amnesia, they should improve your memory in daily life if you eat them regularly enough.

Title: Improving Your Memory through Diet
Main idea: You can improve your memory diet.

According to the last US census, drivers 19 years old and younger represent only 5% of all
drivers, yet they are involved in more than 12% of car accidents. This shows that teen drivers are involved in more accidents than their older and wiser counterparts. Sadly, teens make up more than 8% of drivers killed in car accidents. It doesn't have to be like this. We can prevent accidents and save lives by changing the minimum driving age. By raising the minimum driving age to 21 years old, more teens will live to see their 20s. Doesn't that seem worth it? I'd rather have my teenage son or daughter moaning and groaning about the driving age then getting involved in a serious accident because he or she isn't ready to drive yet. What do you think?

Finally, answer exercise 2, this unit is hard for me, so I should practice more. The important are the markers, which can help me to understand the texts. I will study about them.
What did you find easy?
-Personally, I think that is discourse markers.
What did you find difficult?
-Finding the problem and the cause is very difficult.
What did you solve the problem?
-Trying to underline every time I answer.
What are your attitudes towards the lesson?
-I like this because it's challenging, and I can do it.
