Expository
Writing: is the type of writing that is used most in everyday
life. It is the base of all forms of writing – narrative, persuasive,
descriptive etc. Its main purpose is to explain processes, give instructions
and information and describe.
All the types of
exposition include the use of appropriate transition words and phrases. These words/phrases
are like little helpers; they move the sentences/paragraphs smoothly in the
right direction, giving them unity. For example: then, after, next, at the same
time, etc.
Explaining a process is
when someone is told how to do
something.
Giving information is
when someone is told about something.
When instructions are
given someone is given orders, direction, commands or advice.
When one describes,
he/she uses adjectives, sensory details – smell, sight, hearing, taste, feeling
– to allow the reader a vivid image of the item, place, etc. that is being
described.

Nothing ruins my day like a bloodsucking mosquito.
