two issues:

1. only give two options, don't need to explain more when giving options. like this:

The first is to go to the student center and check his schedule on the computer. The second solution is to check the three lecture halls on each floor till he finds the right one.

not this:
The first is to go to the student center and check his schedule on the computer, but..... The second solution is to check the three lecture halls on each floor till he finds the right one, but....

2. some hesitations.

sample answer:
The man’s problem is that he left his class schedule in the dorm and now he can’t find his class. There are two possible solutions. The first is to go to the student center and check his schedule on the computer. The second solution is to check the three lecture halls on each floor till he finds the right one. I think the first solution is better for the following reasons. First of all, if he looks up the schedule online, he can find where Introduction to Psychology is, and he can also get his schedule for the rest of the day. Plus, it’d be really embarrassing to stick his head into each lecture hall, asking if it is the right one. It’ll disturb the other professors and students as well.
