By Larry Hughes


Expository essays help in explaining a particular topic in a straightforward and a logic manner. The writer uses facts to explain points without referencing his or her opinions and emotions. In general terms, expository writing activities aim at explaining, exposing or illuminating particular information. Other than essays, other writings placed under this category include magazine articles, encyclopedia articles, newspapers, textbooks and instruction manuals.

Expository essays are commonly used in academic world. They have introductory paragraph that is used to state the objective or idea of the assay. Body paragraphs follow. They explain more on what has been introduced in the introductory paragraph. Towards the end of this kind of an essay is the conclusion paragraph.

Most expository essays have five paragraphs. The uppermost section is referred to as introductory paragraph. The body part of the essay is made up of three paragraphs.

He or she does not only think on how to write the piece, but also he or she performs some research. One makes some short notes on the concerned topic.

The writer then makes a draft. A topic sentence can be placed anywhere within the first paragraph. It reveals the clear idea of a piece. This special sentence only talks about the thesis within the piece. It does not offer an opinion or an idea. The middle part is actually the body, in the general terms the three paragraph here talks more about what was introduced in the first paragraph. Each of the three paragraphs explains a different point. This helps in enriching a piece. Every sentence within the paragraph reveals the facts together with the examples.

The section helps in supporting the idea that had been introduced in the introductory part and explained within the middle part. This section helps in reinforcing the idea presented. During the last movements, the essay is revised so as to modify and also review it further.

Proofreading is done so as to correct grammar and other kinds of errors. Editing is done so as to improve clarity and style. A good essay is one that is concise, engaging, clear and lively.

Classification essays break down an idea into groups and categories. Other than explaining each category, the examples for each category are provided. Process essays help comprehend procedures of doing certain tasks.

Writings that explain differences and similarities between things, places and people are called comparative and contrast essays. Comparison helps informing how things being discussed are alike.
