            Reading and writing an understandable article can be difficult, however it can be solve by following a strategy. In Writing for the Reader: A Problem-Solution Approach; Tom Miller and Dee parker´s article shows a procedure we can write a type of article to emerge readers into the reading. In my reading of this article, I could identify a background, the problem which is discussed and the solution this problem brings which is this kind of format that allows understanding an article. Moreover, I could find the process of making a Problem-Solution article. This article was meaningful because of its way it is explained; using appropriate terminology and language. But now, what makes this article worth to read and how can it help us?

          Writing an article is a strict process; where it has not to be clear just for the writer but for the reader as well. Problem-Solution Approach is a strategy which helps this problem. We start this establishing a purpose, after that, we brainstorming ideas. However, we need to make the article credible and it can be using a survey. The introduction takes in consideration establishing a relationship with the reader; it is like a map which helps to follow an order of ideas. In addition, the introduction has to set the situation, problem and the solution. The problem is framing with cause and effect sentences; those sentences follow a sequence and have to be coherent. Paragraphs change from negative to positive words to introduce the audience to a possible solution; because at some point in this type of article, one expects a switch from problem to solution. At the end f the article is the conclusion which goes from the specific point to the general opposite of the introduction.

In addition, this article seems to follow the approach they are talking about.

         Evidently this article follows its own establishments of make an article for a multiple reader; the terminology and Language is clear and it can be understandable through the context. The tone in this article is proper making the reading formal and solid do not hesitating or over telling unnecessary details but going through the point. However, I think the solution topic needs more development. But, because of these article present examples like figure 1, I could have a clear idea of what is a solution in an article about. Although I am not occupied with writing articles, when I read this article about how this approach works I got interest in it and I got an idea how to write an article in the future. Finally, I only suggest more development on the solution topic, in general for me this reading was successful; they prove their Problem-Solution Approach by writing this article with this format.

Indeed, this article is to readers in general by using a proper language and terminology still formal, clear and concrete. The background, the problem in this reading is clearly comprehensible.
