Hello, everyone.Thank you for paying attention to my first blog content!In this article ,I will give out my own interpretation of exposition,namely what is an exposition.
Firstly ,to put it into a big view, an exposition is one of four rhetorical modes of discourse, along with argumentation, description, and narration.An exposition means writing or speaking that sets forth facts and ideas,or expounds detailed explanations.
Secondly , in a more spercific way , there are two types of exposition.Nonfiction expositions and fiction exposition ones.Nonfiction expository writing consists of textbooks, receipts,business letters ,personal letters ,research reports ,encyclopaedia,etc.Fiction expository writing conveys information which is presented in the form of facts,explanation,opinion or development of character,theme,etc.
Furthermore,here are some of the features of language used in expository writing.First of all , use of present tense to state how the author feels.Then ,well-constructing with connecting words and phrases such as the,beacause,to begin with,compare to,and in conclusion .This can help the exposition proceed in a logical order,e.g.cause and fact.Next , strong words and phrases to help emphasize the points put forward.Lastly, the use of Passive Voice increases the exposiyory skills.
To conclude,exposition needs more literary techniques and should be expressed logically.There should be a series of arguments supported by examples or evidence to convince and ensure the audience.Each new paragraph introduces a new argument inn the topic statement.With a conclution that reinforces the writer`s point, the exposition is said to be well constructed.
