Unit 7 Lesson D: Thinking outside the box

Writing
Presenting a solution
You can follow these steps to write about a solution to a problem:

Present and explain the problem.

The fire at the concert hall means it is impossible to hold the Movie Awards
there next week. Cancelling the event would result in losses of millions of
dollars in advertising and ticket refunds.

Offer a solution and explain its benefits.

We could solve this problem by using an alternative venue near the city. The
venue is smaller, but we propose to show the ceremony on big screens outside.
This would benefit the event in several ways. First of all, people who don't have
tickets could also watch it . . .

Explain how the solution will be implemented.

Changing venues will mean a lot of reorganization in a short time. We have
several plans to make this possible. A local company will provide the screens in
exchange for free advertising . . .
