Analytical exposition text is one of the text genres studied in senior high school

introduce several ideas that support the main idea of the writer and deliver it to the

C. The Text Structure of Analytical Exposition Text

Regardless of what the text is about most analytical exposition usually has the same
structures, they have an introduction, main body and conclusion. The process of arranging
this structure may be different for everybody but the series of some basic step are the
same. Gerrot and Wignell (1994:197) explain the most common used of analytical
exposition’s generic structures are:
1. Thesis.
It introduces the topic of the text and indicates writer’s position in the text.
2. Arguments.
Each of the argument consists of two divisions. The first one is point. It restates the
main argument outlined in preview. This means that each point is an idea that supports
the statement of the thesis. The second one is elaboration. Elaboration is the part
where the writer develops and support each point with evidence, prove
or even analysis.

You Tube as a significant platform for brands.

What has one billion users and doubles as the second largest search engine on the Internet? The
answer is YouTube. This search engine has been an incredible tool for most businesses.
Unfortunately, not many businesses make use of it. I want to share why YouTube is such an
significant platform for your brand.
It is said that YouTube is the second largest search engine, while its parent company Google is the
first. Do you know what it means? It means Google gives search engine priority to YouTube videos.
Try to search for a “how to” on Google, then the results come back with several videos related to the
“how to”. The videos may have even been the first results on the page even though some of these
videos date back several years, to 2011 and before!
Even without relying on Google, your chance of getting discovered on YouTube alone is very high. By
using the right keywords for your videos (actual phrases that your customers will use to locate your
content), you can increase the odds of discovery.
Furthermore, you can use YouTube to keep the audience’s attention. Ultimately, you can turn your
audience from leads into customers by building trust. Consequently, you need to also provide
something valuable to your audience so that they remain interested in what you have to say. That
value could be a how-to, a product demo, or a freebie found on your site.
Based on the arguments above, I believe that YouTube is beneficial to promote and expand your
businesses. So, what are you waiting for? Make one now.
