part of the main types of essays, and it is
called descriptive essay. But before we go
to the main types of essays let’s first
define the essay. Any idea what an essay
is?”.

“Exactly! An essay is a type of literary

 piece that focuses on a particular topic and
frequently expresses the author's personal
viewpoint. An essay is a short piece of
writing that is intended to inform or
persuade the reader, and the essay is
divided into an introduction, body, and
conclusion:”

4 Main types of Essays

1. Argumentative Essays
An argumentative essay is a piece of writing that
presents a extended, evidence-based case. It
necessitates a strong thesis statement a well-
defined position on your subject. Your goal is to
use evidence (such as quotations) and analysis to
persuade the reader of your position.
(The example will be present in PPT)

2. Expository
-An expository essay is a piece of writing that
provides a balanced analysis of a subject. In an
expository essay, the writer uses facts, data, and
examples to illustrate or clarify a topic.
Expository writing includes a variety of essay
types, including comparison and contrast essays,
cause and effect essays, and “how to” or process
essays. Expository essays do not show emotions
or write in the first person because they are based
on facts rather than personal feelings.
(The example will be present in PPT)

3. Narrative Essays
- A narrative essay is a piece of writing in which
the author narrates a tale about a personal event.
(The example will be present in PPT)

4. Descriptive Essays
- A descriptive essay uses words to create a
picture, or it paints a picture with words. It gives
a sensory description of something in precise
detail. A writer might describe a person, a place,
an object, or even a memorable memory. The
goal of a descriptive essay is to convey a deeper
meaning through description. Through the use of
vivid language and sensory elements, the writer
should show, not tell, in a descriptive essay. The
 finest descriptive essays appeal to the reader's
emotions, producing an evocative effect.
