Problem-Solution Text Structure: Club Reading

Ari paints a bright sign for the club door. From the far end of the hall, the letters look like one dark stripe. Ari feels disappointed, then asks a partner to test a larger version. Together they remove extra words and make the main message readable. The finished sign has less decoration, but visitors can find the room. This account organizes events around a problem, a response, and a changed outcome; it does not compare multiple controlled trials.

Use the supplied scenario and model. Show calculations or explain the evidence requested in each task.

Central Ideas and Text Structure: Apply and Create

Repair Before Replacement

When an object breaks, replacing it is one option, but it is not always the first useful step. A loose screw in a wooden model or a torn seam in a cloth bag may be repairable. Checking the damage can prevent a useful object from being discarded unnecessarily.

Repair also has limits. An object with a sharp broken edge or damaged electrical parts may be unsafe to handle. Some repairs require particular tools, skills or adult help. The time and supplies needed may also exceed what is available. A decision should consider those conditions rather than treating repair as a rule that applies to everything.
