Expository Writing (How Music Affects Your Life)
Examples:
Writing Patterns It is important for a writer to know the types (patterns) of writing. Generally speaking, all writing has been divided into several forms. These are: exposition, description, narration, and argumentation and persuasion. Exposition:
In exposition writing, the writer attempts to present the reader with information and at the same time attempts to explain this information. Exposition has several patterns: a-
In the example pattern, the writer makes a statement and then gives examples in an attempt to support his/her statement. By doing this, the writer is helping the audience to understand his/her point of view. In most writing, it is encouraged to give in support of the viewpoint presented. b- Process:
The process pattern refers to a series of steps to be carried out in some order; for example, how do you make coffee? With this pattern, the writer describes step by step how something is done, made or repaired, as in a recipe book or a maintenance manual. c- Cause and effect:
Using the cause and effect pattern, a writer tries to describe why something happens, or what results of an occurrence are or were.
This particular form of writing is crucial because it is integrated in most other forms. d- Comparison and contrast:
To compare two things is to find in which way or ways they are similar. To contrast them, on the other hand, is to examine in which way or ways they are different. We sometimes need to compare and contrast two elements or things in order to understand each of the two more clearly. You will often be asked to write paragraphs and/or essays comparing and/or contrasting two things or two people. And you will often find yourself having to compare or contrast two things, ideas, etc., within other writing patterns. If we try to explain what we mean by a particular term we use, we are defining it. Although we use definition constantly in our every day conversations,
