Exposition Text

 EXPOSITION TEXT

Text exposition is a text that discusses an issue or problem and discusses it from one point of view. Expositions can be divided into 2 types, namely: analytical and hortatory.

analytical exposition is text exposition that is not accompanied by suggestions (only includes opinions and arguments),so text hortatory exposition is text that is accompanied by suggestions.

An analylical exposition text is a from of an essay or an argumentative text. The social function is to persuade the reader or listener that something is the case (good, bad, necessarry, harmful, needs to do, benefical, etc). So, it is also called a persuasive text.

EXAMPLES :

• Why books are important for us?
• Cars should be banned from cities.
• Nuclear energy is very hazardous.
• Smoking is not a good habit.
• Smoking is dangerous for your health.

THE ANALYTICAL EXPOSITIONS ARE ORGANIZED IN THREE STAGES:

1. Thesis : It indicates the topic you are talking about. The paragraph should ended with the expressions of reasoning or proving the statement.
2. Argumen : It list several reasons, gives facts or statistic or provides several examples.
3. Reiteration : It restates the statement that has been stated in the thesis or makes conclusion based on the arguments.

Smoking in Restaurant	Title
Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is rude, harmful to others and dangerous for the smokers.	Thesis
Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects all people and can turn them off their food. People pay to taste good food and not to be put off by foul smelling smoke.	Argument 1: Point and Elaboration
Another reason, smoking should not be allowed in restaurant is the harm it can do to others. Passive smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a smoker can lead to asthma attacks and even cancer.	Argument 2: Point and Elaboration
Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health risk to the smokers. Cigarettes cause heart and lung disease, then people should not smoke to keep healthy.	Argument 3: Point and Elaboration
Therefore, smoking in restaurants is impolite, harmful to others and a health risk to the smokers and must not be allowed in any restaurants.	Conclusion (Reiteration)

HORTATORY EXPOSITION TEXT:

Rock Rocks!!	Title
Rock music has been one of the most powerful music in the world.Rock does not only concern with the music but also the life and fashion style of the rockers.	Argument 1
Firstly, there are those who do not approve of the way rockers dress and behave. Some go further and accuse rockers of Satanism. For example, Ozzy Osbourne, a famous rock star, often bit the head off small animals and drank their blood on stage. Many people considered such acts affiliated with Satanism.	Argument 2
Secondly, there are also occasions where teen commits suicide after going to a concert or listening to music. Such cases strengthen the conviction of many people that rock music, such as heavy metal and underground music is truly a bad influence.	Argument 3
Finally, for those reasons, I think the rockers should give positive examples to the listeners because the listeners tend to listen to their idols instead of other people.	Recommendation
