ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION

An analytical exposition is a type of spoken or written text that is intended to persuade the

listeners or readers that something is the case. To make the persuasion stronger, the speaker or writer gives some arguments as the fundamental reasons why something is the case. This type of text can be

found in scientific books, journals, magazines, newspaper articles, academic speech or lectures,

research report etc.

GENERIC STUCTURE

The generic structure of analytical exposition usually has three components:

(1)Thesis : Introduces the topic and shows speaker or writer’s position;

Outlines of the arguments are presented.

(2)Arguments : It consists about Point and Elaboration*Point : states the main argument

*Elaboration : develops and supports each point of argument

GENERIC STUCTURE

• An analytical exposition focuses on generic human and non human participants.

• It uses mental processes. It is used to state what the writer or speaker thinks or feels about something. For example: realize, feel, etc.

• It uses emotive and evaluative words, e.g. worried, alarmed etc

• It often needs material processes. It is used to state what happens, e.g. ….has polluted… etc.

• It usually uses Simple Present Tense and Present Perfect Tense.• Enumeration is sometimes necessary to show the list of given

arguments: Firstly, secondly …, Finally, etc.

The Importance of Education

I personally think that education is very important for us as Indonesian teenager who will take over values, good morals, culture and knowledge. We also bring the future of Indonesia nation in the middle of world global civilization.

The condition of education in Indonesia is terrible. Why do I say that? In fact, there are many regions that have not been reached by good education. If the condition is going like this, I am sure it is difficult for Indonesia to be a prosperous country. How can it be? As we all know, a prosperous country must have a good basic education, because by having good education, people will get job easily, good life. Due to this reason, it makes the country prosperous.

To improve education system in Indonesia, the government has tried to provide education evenly to all part of Indonesian and to apply suitable education system that can make people clever and civilized. So, Indonesian can life better in this modern and sophisticated era. By the existence of education in our country, we will be able to reach the degree of knowledge or science. Besides, the Indonesian human resources will be equal with people in all around the world.

In short, it is obvious that as young Indonesian generation, education is very important.

HORTATORY EXPOSITION

A Hortatory exposition is a type of spoken or written text that is intended to explain the listeners or readers

that something should or should not happen or be done. To strengthen the explanation, the speaker or writer needs some arguments as the fundamental

reasons of the given idea. In other words, this kind of text can be called as argumentation. Hortatory

exposition text can be found in scientific books, journals, magazines, newspaper articles, academic speech or

lectures, research report etc.

(1) Thesis : Statement or announcement of issue concern

(2) Arguments : Reasons for concern that will lead to recommendation

(3) Recommendation : Statement of what should or should not happen or be done based on the given arguments.

Internet for Student

Nowadays, in modern era, I think internet is very important for students.

As we all know internet has many function for supporting our life. They are, first, it gives us various information, news, knowledge etc. Students can search anything or something from internet. Take for example, they search about education, entertainment, knowledge etc that is in the world.

Second, they can add their friends in all countries in the world by internet. Chatting, e-mail, facebook, twitter, interpals are some examples of internet facility to have many friends. Besides, they can share, communicate, discuss and so on.

From my arguments above, as student, we should use internet facility well to get knowledge, friends, information etc.
