C. Analysis EXPOSITION

In writing, it is important to have a clear sense of purpose. This

purpose or reason for writing about a particular topic usually serves
as the basis of the structural elements, patterns of idea
development, and language features that a writer employs in
writing. In the previous lesson, you were introduced to the concepts
of argumentative writing where the author explains and justifies
his/her stand on a given proposition by presenting evidences to
support his/her claim. This is a characteristic you will not observe
in writing an exposition.

An expository text merely presents or provides information about a

particular topic or issue. This is also sometimes called
informational writing where the writer provides facts on a given
topic in a way that is educational and purposeful. Besides merely
providing facts, expository writing may also include providing
descriptions, citing reasons, presenting explanations, and
enumerating steps of a specific process.

Unlike in narrative writing, an expository text does not tell a story

and does not make use of emotion in presenting facts. It is fact-
based and seeks to educate the reader by presenting facts based on
reliable sources. Expository texts are generally clear, concise and
organized in terms of idea development.
Some of the most common examples of expository texts are
textbooks, news articles, instructional manuals, recipes, and self-
help books, among others.

There are times when different forms of writing seem to have

overlapping features and characteristics. This is truly possible as
there are writers who would sometimes combine these features and
characteristics in writing. In order to maintain the focus when
writing, remember that they differ in terms of purpose. An
expository text seeks to inform; a narrative text aims to entertain;
and an argumentative text’s goal is to persuade readers.

Key Structural Elements in an Exposition

While the facts in expository writing may be presented in various
ways depending on a number of factors, most expository texts
including expository essays generally include common elements,
such as follows:
1. A clear and concise thesis statement. Usually presented in the
initial paragraph, the thesis statement introduces the main topic or
idea and provides the overall direction for the text.
2. Clear transitions. The use of clear and proper transitions will
glue the introduction, the body, and the conclusion together.
 Without effective use of transitions, the exposition may seem like a
disjointed collection of sentences.
3. A body that contains evidences and support. While most
people might think of an expository text like an essay as something
that can be written even without due research and preparations, the
use of supporting evidences like examples and explanations forms a
huge part of a facts-based expository text.
4. An effective conclusion. It is essential to remember that a
conclusion is not only meant to summarize the ideas presented from
the introduction to the body. Instead, a conclusion should tie the
ideas altogether while highlighting the true essence of the main idea
in the text.

While most expository essays typically follow the introduction-body-

conclusion format, other forms and examples of exposition can take
other shapes and patterns depending on how the writer intends to
present his or her ideas. Expository texts typically follow one of the
following structures or patterns of idea development:
a. Cause and Effect. Here, the writer presents the information by
explaining how or why a certain event or occurrence happened
[cause] and what resulted from that particular cause or occurrence
[effect].
b. Comparison and Contrast. The writer presents the information
by providing details as to how things, concepts, or ideas are alike or
different.
c. Description. In this structure, the topic is presented by providing
descriptions about its attributes, features, and examples.
d. Problem and Solution. The writer may present a problem and
provide one or more solutions to the said problem.
e. Sequence. In this structure, information may be presented in a
way that follows numerical or chronological sequence either
explicitly or implicitly.
