This research aims at looking into dissertative-argumentative texts that are required by the School Performance Evaluation System of São Paulo State (SARESP) in order to check in which way this text is useful or not in signaling to the reader of the training phases of the Problem-Solution structure, by Hoey (1994). In accordance with Cereja & Magalhães (2003), although most applicants to the University entrance examinations are asked to produce dissertative texts, in reality due to the controversial nature of the proposed themes, very often what is expected from the applicant is that they produce either an argumentative or a dissertative-argumentative text. According to Conceição (2000), the written production turns out into one of greatest concerns of Portuguese Teachers. There are countless diagnoses that detect the most varied kinds of problems. There are several questions involved in such a situation, one of which could be the complete unfamiliarity of the student with the genre that the texts they have been asked to write belongs to. In this aspect the words by Bakhtin (1997) are very clearing when he defines the genre of discourse. He states that no matter how varied all the fields of human activity might be they will always be related to the use of language. Therefore we can undestand the importance that is given to concept of genre in Vigner s words (1988), when stating that recognizing a genre is being able to regulating its reading over a system of expectation, inscribing in a previsible trajectory considering that this recognition operates as from the aprehension of a certain number of signs. It is known that the production and understanding of a text walk side by side: they are both faces of the same coin (Ikeda 1986). Therefore, the production of a fluent and intelligible text should be a reader-friendly text, that makes the reader s understanding easier. The methodology of analysing the texts will be supported by the definition of genre, by the Systemic-Functional Language (LSF), that deals with the schematic structure of the text; this being the notion that helps understanding the constitution of a genre in its stages (Martin, 1992). As the LSF does not deal specifically with the dissertative -argumentative genres, we searched for subsidies especially in Hoey (1994), whose proposal of a Problem- Solution structure seems more appropriate to us besides being very clearing for examining this specific question. As a supplement to this proposal, we supported ourselves also on Vigner (1988)
