Contoh Text Analytical Exposition

Untuk lebih memahami analytical exposition, berikut beberapa teks yang saya ambil dari
berbagai sumber.

Corruption and Indonesian Culture

Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia
for three reasons.

Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that corruptions happen in
many places. The daily newspapers, news programs on TV and radio have reported corruptions are
done everywhere, almost in all departments or public services of this country. Corruptions happen in
health, education departments and banks. When we manage to get some documents in public
service offices, we usually need much money to pay. Manipulations happen everywhere.

The actions to eliminate corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems not to come
to an end when the responsible institutions who have to reinforce the justice today commit
corruption. This is the worst. Corruptions happen in police department, courts where judges, public
prosecutors, lawyers make deals to do corruption. All of us also heard in the end of 2004,
Probosutejo reported that he had bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which
becomes the highest level where the justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to the
local courts and see what happen there. You will see practices of bribery and other kinds of
corruption. Therefore, we can say that corruptions becomes our culture. Do you like it?

The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the corruption. They create the situations in
which people ahave opportunities to do corruptions. The citizens like to break the rules because
they are not disciplined. For example, in the street when they drive a car or ride motorcycle, they do
not have the driving license or necessary documents. Then, they are caught by the local policemen.
To avoid more difficulties, they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then. In other words,
the citizens and officers are the same, doing corruption together. If only the people were critical,
disciplined, and obey the rules, and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this country will not be
number one corrupting country in the world.

Conclusion Based on the reasons, we can conclude that corruption is becoming a bad culture
in Indonesia if it is not ended soon by all of us. It seems that there must be more severe penalty for
the Corruptors. Do we still care about the future of this country?

The Dangerous of Using Drugs

Everybody must pay attention of drugs. Drugs are very dangerous for us. Why it is very
dangerous for us? Because its can caused harm to our body.

In terms of health, many organs in our body can be harm because using drug. In general, the
impact of using drug are can unconscious, make us hallucinate, can harm our nerve, and cause
addictive effect. Beside that, using drugs can make the users depressed, liver disease, schizophrenia,
blockage of blood vessels, dehydration, optic nerve damage, brain damage, and finally it can cause
DEATH!

When viewed in terms of Islamic law, drugs are forbidden. Because it is cause badness, self
harm, debilitate. And Islam proscribes all that can cause badness, self harm because it is included
zhalim. Also if we using drugs, it means we already do the forbidden things in Islam, it means we sin.
So, in terms of Islamic law, using drugs also dangerous.

Furthermore, if the users of drugs are teenagers, it can endanger their future, and endanger
their homeland, their country. From the data, 32 percent of drugs users in Indonesia are teenagers,
so, if many teenagers –in this case Indonesia- use drugs, it can be endanger this country, harm youth
generation, whereas youths are nation expectation. If the youth using drugs, our nation can be
destroy!

So, from now on we must pay attention of drugs, because it’s very dangerous, both in terms
of health, religion (Islam), nationality and state.

The Problem of Being Too Fat

 Being too fat is commonly known as overweight or obesity. It is simply defined as too much
body fat inside. Overweight potentially leads high risk of health problem.

Being too fat is recognized as a major factor for heart disease. Due to the overweight, the
heart will work harder. It can lead to the heart attack. Furthermore, obesity potentially rises blood
cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition, being too fat can change the amount of sugar in the
blood. This will cause diabetes and other serous disease.

Beside all of that, being too fat is often avoided by many young women. They said that
becoming too fat will bother their physical beauty appearance.

More serious studies are necessary to see the effect of obesity. However it is clear enough
that overweight is not good enough for healthy life.

The Power of Music in our life

Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain role
completing our day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is heard everywhere
andanywhere. Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music we’d listen
to would be all about love. When we’re sad, we would go for music that is melancholic in nature and
immerse ourselves in the sadness. When we’re happy, we’d choose songs with happy tunes too.

Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a powerful documentary.
People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember details about songs they were
familiar with. For example, an elderly woman who couldn’t even remember her husband’s name
wouldremember the details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it made her feel and
things about the song that made it especially memorable for her.

Further, music can unite people for a cause and changes the world. A song with good lyric
and striking deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all people. We can see it in the case of
the famous and legendary Michael Jacson's Heal the World. It can arouse humanism of a lot people
in this world.So what would the world be like without music? It would be lonely.

Additionally, in this multimedia era, students need more to reach their progressive development.

catch the target of curriculum. Every subject will tend to be given in demonstrative method.
Consequently students need extra media cover the subject. Since there is a laptop on every
students' desk, this method will help student to get better understanding.

shop which provides comprehensive information. The best is that the shop has service of online
shopping. The students just need to brows that online shop, decide which computer or laptop they
need, then complete the transaction. After that the laptop will be delivered to the students' houses.
