2.7 Example Of The Exposition Text

Washing Hands With Soap Effectively Prevents Covid 19

 Statement of Opinion (Thesis)
Soap has ingredients that are effective in cleaning various types of bacteria and viruses that
cause disease.With the presence of these ingredients, soap is also effective in killing the
Corona virus (COVID-19).
 Argument
One of the symptoms of the Covid 19 virus that reports victims of infection is shortness of
breath.By using hands using soap regularly, it can minimize the virus entering the
respiratory tract of the hand.
This arrangement of molecules will float alternately as solitary units when they are
suspended in the air. Furthermore, the collection of molecules will be arranged with other
molecules to form small bubbles (micelles).The bubbles have a head that points outward and
a tail that is tucked inside.Viruses are nano-sized particles that have a weakness in the form
of a lipid bilayer (fat).
Soap has the ability to dissolve fat membranes. So that the virus will be destroyed and die or
rather inactive because of the fat content in the soap.This also applies to the Covid 19 virus.
So it can be stated that the way soap works is effective in killing the Covid 19 virus.
 Reaffirmation of opinions
From the explanation above, we know that soap has the ability to kill (kill) the Covid 19 or
Corona virus.Simply wash your hands using running water and apply soap to all parts of
your hands. And attention to at least wash hands for 20 seconds.This method has been
effective in killing viruses and bacteria that are on the hands so that it can prevent the Covid
19 virus from entering the body.
