 EXPOSITORY WRITING
Exposition is a type of oral or written discourse that is used
to explain, describe, give information or inform. The creator
of an expository text can not assume that the reader or
listener has prior knowledge or prior understanding of the
topic that is being discussed.
It needs to be informative and highlight relevant details for
better understanding
There should be clarity and an expository writer should know
what they’re talking about
Well-written expository pieces continue to focus on the main
topic and list events in an organized manner
The use of the first-person narrative should be avoided;
instead, second-person instruction is much more effective
• It should steer clear of personal thoughts and opinions and
present an unbiased version of the information
EXAMPLE:-
Advances in science and technology have made
the use of “green” energy possible. In places
where climate conditions permit, people are able
to use solar energy or wind energy for power.
Solar energy is the use of sunlight for energy and
power. Humans are able to harness the energy of
the sun by installing solar panels on their homes
or businesses. Humans have also found ways to
harness the power of the wind by using wind
turbines to capture wind energy. Both of these
forms of “green” energy are being used more and
more.

particular political candidate.
 DESCRIPTIVE WRITING
Descriptive writing as a type of writing that gives a clear
and concise description of everything. It includes places,
people, object or an event. The primary objective of
descriptive writing is to provide a clear picture of the place,
people or thing in reader’s mind. The writer provides enough
details to evoke the senses. A reader can feel all their
senses working while reading any descriptive writing work.
Descriptive writing is used to draw vivid details in the
reader’s mind. The reader will use sensory details when
he/she reads the text. He can feel the environment of the
text through senses like seeing, hearing, smell, taste, and
touch. This form of writing will help the readers to go into a
world of the writer. You can find descriptive writing in
almost all forms of writing styles. These styles include a
journal, travel writing, biographies, poetry, diary writing,etc.
EXAMPLE:-
The library is my haven. Rows upon rows of
brightly col ored books are crammed onto the
towering bookcases, worlds of words waiting to
be raided. The musty pages waft veils of dust into
the air that tickle my nose and hint at long
forgotten adventures to be unearthed. The dead si
lence makes it the perfect place to immerse
yourself into the world of swash-buckling pirate
that can almost taste the salt in the air drying your
mouth and feel the jostling waves crashing
against the hull of the ship. The only thing that
dares break the silence is the squeaky wheel of
the librarian’s trolley. It’s the only thing that
doesn’t wilt under her harsh glare.
 NARRATIVE WRITING
Narrative writing can be broadly defined as story writing – a
piece of writing characterized by a main character in a
setting who encounters a problem or engages in an
interesting, significant or entertaining activity or experience.
What happens to this main character is called the plot.
The plot follows a beginning, middle, and end sequence. The
middle of the story is the largest, most significant part,
which we call the main event. The main event is really what
the story is all about and involves either a problem to be
solved or a significant life experience for the main
character.
Written forms of narration include most forms of writing:
personal essays, fairy tales, short stories, novels, plays,
screenplays, autobiographies, histories, even news stories
have a narrative.

Writing an architectural description, it is important to
focus on the construction, form, features, and finishes
that exist today, rather than a building’s historic
appearance. If current elements of the building are EXAMPLE:

- Descriptive essays can have one or more purposes: to

DESCRIPTIVE WRITING IN
Architectural analysis is the activity of discovering
important system properties using the system’s
architectural model. The analysis of architectural models
can have varying goals like early estimation of system size,
complexity and cost. It can include satisfaction of system
requirements-both functional and non-functional, evaluation
of opportunities for reusing existing functionalities etc.
-Analytical writing includes descriptive writing, but it gives
a new perspective on what is described. It doesn’t simply
present information but re-organises it, for example
comparing and contrasting categories, making new
groupings, dividing data into groups or types, or creating
new relationships.
-Analytical writing involves understanding relationships
between things. It therefore involves a greater ability to
think abstractly.
ANALYTICAL WRITING IN
ARCHITECTURE
EXAMPLE:
President Zuma’s firing of popular finance
minister, Gordhan drastically impacted
investor confidence. This led to a sharp
decrease in the value of the Rand. Such
devaluation means that all USD-based
imports (including petrol) will rise in cost,
thereby raising the cost of living for
South Africans, and reducing disposable
income. This puts both cost and price
pressure on Organisation X as an importer
of USD-based goods Y, requiring it to
consider doing Z. Furthermore, political
instability has the added impact of
encouraging immigration, particularly
amongst skilled workers whose expertise
is valued abroad (brain drain).
