different from other types of texts?

types of texts

Features of Expository Text.

A text may come in various forms that

serve different purposes such as texts
that explain, argue, entertain, persuade,
and inspire. A text that explains and
gives facts is called expository text.

Here are the Characteristics of

Expository Texts

Expository texts should have the

following characteristics:
a. Expository texts should provide
information about a particular topic
b. These types of texts are usually
written in paragraphs. It should contain a
main idea, supporting details that explain
the main idea, and a concluding
paragraph.
c. information presented in an expository
text should be organized in a clear text
structure.
Language used in expository text is
domain-specific in terms of vocabulary to
precisely explain the topic.

Here are some other examples of an

Expository Text aside from the
common one like newspapers, textbooks
and magazines. These examples shown
below are paragraph or texts in which it
provides factual information about
growing up with siblings.

In this example, the writer focused on

why his/her siblings are important in
his/her life. Notice that the discussion
circled about what attitudes and values
the writer learned from having siblings
and how they changed or developed the \
writer as a person. because the topic is
more on a personal exposition, the
structure and organization of ideas in the
text do not need to be complicated. We are facing right

Next we’re going to tackle about the
Text Structures of Expository Texts

Expository texts are usually clearly structured to

help readers in getting and understanding
information. They are used by the writers to
present and explain information. These text
structures are the following:

Text Description Signal

Structure words
DescriptionLists such as, for
characteristics, example, for
features, and instance,
examples to most
describe a important, in
subject front, beside,
near
Sequence Lists down first, second,
items in third, before,

effect/s then…,
consequently,
cause, effect,
in order to
Problem Discusses a solution,
and question or a solve, effect,
Solution problem and hopeful,
gives a concern,
solution or an challenge,
answer resolve

In the sample expository text, the text structure

is more of a sequence as it lists down the most
important values the writer has learned from
having siblings. He or she enumerated these
values and how he or she acquired and related
these values to having siblings in his or her life.

Now, who can give me examples of expository

text using any text structures presented above?

Excellent! Comparison

and skills in daily life
As a teenager, what do you think is
the importance of expository texts It is important most
in your daily lives? especially right now we
need to know information
that are fact or true. So
we are being guided and
we are aware of what is
happening around us.

Yes! You’re absolutely correct!

What else? It is also important Ma’am
because it will enhance
our capabilities to write
expository texts.

Directions: Read the given

signal words on a ½ sheet of paper
and identify what type of text
structure it is.

(Example: such as-description)

Waste Management
Waste management deals with the
monitoring and prevention of
wastes to care for our environment.
It is essential because it prevents
us from acquiring diseases that
can be contracted from improper
waste disposal. Our government
and some private organizations
have tried to address the issue on
improper waste disposal. An
example is encouraging people to
surrender and throw recyclable
wastes such as PET bottles in
particular places. Some countries
have wastes surrendered and
exchanged with money or other
 products. Another way to practice (students to the task)
waste management is through
recycling and up cycling programs
which are advocated by many
organizations. They encourage
people to recycle and repurpose
materials to reduce wastes thrown,
prevent the emission of
greenhouse gases, and at the
same time bring out creativity. An
example of up cycling and
recycling products is repurposing
plastic wastes to become
alternatives to hollow blocks. There
are also programs that promote
waste reduction such as stores that
encourage the use of eco bags to
put grocery items instead of plastic
bags. Some stores also try to
reduce selling products with
containers or wrapping and instead
encourage consumers to bring
containers as an alternative. There
may be efforts exerted by
government and non-government
organizations in terms of saving
the environment in programs such
as waste management and waste
reduction. The most important
thing is that people should be fully
informed and involved in such
activities in order to make a
difference.
