ASSIGNMENT-3

FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF WRITING STYLES:

Narrative Writing:
A narrative essay tells a story. In most cases, this is a story about a personal experience you
had. This type of essay, along with the descriptive essay, allows you to get personal and
creative, unlike most academic writing. Writers use a narrator style to present their point of
view in a chronological manner. There are flashbacks and multiple timelines. Some of the
popular examples of narrative writing include essays, fairy tales, autobiographies and news
stories

Descriptive Writing:
Descriptive writing is writing in which the author's intent is to create a vivid image of what
he is describing in the mind of the reader. It relies on the author using detailed descriptions
that convey the sensory details of what he is describing, often with the use of specific
techniques. Descriptive writing uses vivid language to create the overall effect that the reader
is present in the story. Descriptive writing directly contrasts with concise writing. Where
descriptive writing requires the author to spend a great deal of time and words painting a
visual picture for the reader, in concise writing, the author's intent is to use as precise
language and as few words as possible to convey their meaning.

Expository Writing:
Expository writing is writing that aims to inform its reader. As we mentioned above, this
includes all types of factual writing, like textbooks, news stories, technical guides, and pieces
of business writing. Many journalistic pieces are pieces of expository writing, but not all
are—advertorials, opinion pieces, and many pieces of political writing are not pieces of
expository writing because their primary goal is something other than providing unbiased
facts.

Persuasive Writing:
Persuasive writing is a form of non-fiction writing that is written to persuade a reader of a
belief, opinion or idea. For students, persuasive writing can be a great way of expressing their
views and opinions on a subject. Practising persuasive writing using persuasive writing
devices is a great way to find out what your students are passionate about and give them the
opportunity to do research on subjects that they are interested in. This helps students be more
involved in their classwork.
