 Exposition Text

 Hello everyone, Im Frizt Reynara. I will explain about Exposition Text.  

 

 

Exposition Text is divided into two, namely hortatory exposition and analytical exposition.

Hortatory Exposition :

Hortatory Exposition is a type of exposition text that begins with a statement containing the problem/issue as the theme of a writing, then supported by various arguments and supporting evidence that can lead the reader to the authors point of view and closes with suggestions or recommendations from the author what should have been done or happened in relation to the problem or issue presented at the outset.

Analytical Exposition : 

Analytical exposition is a type of exposition text that begins with a statement that shows the attitude, opinion, statement or position of the author on the theme being discussed which is then supported by various arguments and closes with an affirmation or restatement of the opinion stated at the beginning.

Social Function : 

The purpose of an exposition text is to persuade your audience to look an issue with your perspektif.

Generic Structure :

Thesis : in the hortatory exposition this section will contain the issue or problem to be raised while in the analytical exposition this section will contain the position, opinion or attitude of the author. 

Argument : contains opinions / arguments that the author began to present. Both the hortatory exposition and the analytical exposition have the same explanation in this section. 

Reiteration : reiteration is a conclusion. The hortatory exposition will contain recommendations or suggestions from the author regarding the problem that is the theme of the writing, while in the analytical exposition, this section will contain a re-statement from the author.
