Here are some steps that you may follow to conceptualize
your paragraphs:
1. Identify a specific problem- The discussion
will only be finer if your desired topic is also
filtered down to its most specific. These questions
may help you specify the problem:
What is your target?
In which situation does this problem apply?
Who are affected by this problem?
2. Identify specific solutions- Since the
problem discussed is specific, it would also
entail giving specific solutions as well.
Please take note, the solutions should be
SMART—Specific, Measurable, Attainable,
Realistic and Time-bound.
3. Explain these solutions- Tell your
readers why you are suggesting these
solutions.
Give the advantages and weaknesses of
these solutions; emphasize why this is still
a good solution to the problem.
4. Recommend- Out of the suggested
solutions, will you tell the readers to
follow all or are you to recommend the
best solution of all?

Dorm Days
(Griego, 2018)
Home is comfort; however, when I entered college, that is when I was forced to leave this comfort in order to start achieving my
dreams.
Because home was far from home, I lived in a dormitory. Expanding
Dormitory—the place which tested my being limited. First, there were no
cooking instruments in my room; I am not allowed to cook. Worse, I do not even know how to cook. Mom is not here to do cooking for
me. Second, there was no television, radio, no—there was no WiFi connection. I had to keep myself busy with just my homework and
studies. Lastly, I was all by myself. I had no brother to share my stories with; no parents to check on me.
Those may be some of my dilemmas when I lived in the dorm. However, it did not take me too long to realize what I should do to
solve my problems. First, I allotted a humble budget for my food. Whenever I return home, I also took opportunities to learn cooking.
Secondly, I brought with me my pocket wifi. Of course, because I was determined to finish my studies, I enjoyed doing my school
works at night. Lastly, I toughen up myself not to miss so much my family. Good thing we can always call each other whenever we
wanted to.

College is really hard; it sometimes asks the essential parts of us. However, there is no struggle that we can battle.
