Thesis
|
In all discussion over the removal of lead
from petrol ( and the atmosphere), there doesn’t seem to have been any
mention of the diffence between driving in the city and in the country.
|
Arguments
|
While I realise my leaded petrol car is
polluting the air wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel through the
country,where you only see another car every five to ten minutes,the problem
is not as severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads.
Those who want to penalise older , leaded
petrol vehicles and their owners donn’t seem to appreciate thet in the
country there is no public transport to fall back upon and ones own vehicle
is the only way to get about.
|
Recomendation
|
I feel that country people, who often have
to travel huge distances to the nearest town and who already spend a great
deal of money on petrol,should be treated differently to the people who live
in the city

Example of
Hortatory Exposition
Television
becomes one of the most important devices which takes place in almost houses.
It can unite all members of the family as well as separate them. However, is it
important to know what your kids are watching? The answer is, of course,
absolutely "Yes" and that should be done by all parents. Television
can expose things you have tried to protect the children from, especially
violence, pornography, consumerism and so on.
Recently, a study
demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day or at
bedtime often cause bed-time disruption, stress, and short sleep duration.
Another research
found that there is a significant relationship between the amount of time spent
for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the
possibility of being aggressive.
Meanwhile, many
studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and
being inactive and overweight.
Considering some
facts mentioning above, protect your children with the following tips:
- Limit television viewing to one-two hours each day
- Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their own bedrooms
- Review the rating of TV shows which your children watch
- Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening in the show
Notes on the Generic
Structure of this Hortatory Exposition example
Firstly, we have to always remember that the social function of hortatory
exposition text is driving the readers to act like the writer thought as stated
in the text. Then the purpose of this hortatory is influencing and persuading
the readers by presenting the supporting arguments. In many social activities,
hortatory is applied for writing recommended thought, sales letter,
advertising, speech campaign, and news advertorial.
Thesis: The writer's thought is presented as thesis which is proven with
several arguments. In the first paragraph, the writer points his thought about
the importance of accompanying children while they are watching TV show. It is
important to protect the children from the bad influences of TV show.
Arguments: The next paragraphs show the writer arguments in supporting his thesis.
It is supported by various researches that there are a great relationship
between watching TV and the watcher's personality. One study describes that
much time in watching TV can cause bed-time disruption. The others show the
possibility of becoming an aggressive character because of watching television
too much.
Recommendation: After stating the thesis and proving with various arguments, the text
is completed with the writer's recommendation on how the parents should protect
the children from the bed effect of watching TV.
Basically,
both hortatory and analytical exposition have the similar position. Both take
place as argumentative essays. Both show how important idea of the writer to be
known. However the last paragraph of the essay usually make the difference from
hortatory and analytical exposition. If it is a hortatory text, it will be
ended with a strong recommendation while for analytical exposition, it will be
closed with restatement of the writer's first paragraph.
To improve
comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be an increasing number of
dust bins.
When we look at
classroom, school corridors and schoolyard, there papers, mineral water cops,
straws, and napkin everywhere. The condition of unseemliness really hinders
learning and teaching environment. They can be filled out with water coming
from the rain. This can be placed for mosquito to spread out.
Anyway I notice
that most of the students have responsibilities for their school environment.
They put their litter on the proper place but some of them are not diligent
enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of the dust bins in the school are
not enough. More dust bins should be put beside each step, outside of the
classrooms and some along of the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in
every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can
find the dust bins easily.
When school is
equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not have problem of discomfort
any more. So provide more dust bins and school will be very clean and become a
very nice place to study.
The National
examination result will be publicly enounced in next short time. Euphoria will
flood for those who get success. In the other hand, It will be sorry to hear
that there are some of them do not succeed in their national final examination.
For those who succeed soon will think to decide; where will they be after
graduating high school? Actually it will be easy to decide for those has been arranged
and thought earlier but for those have not planed yet, it will be quite
confusing.
Continuing study
or looking for work is the primary choice among them. When they think about
continuing study, they will think hard about the time and cost. How long the
higher study will last? And how high is about the cost. In the same way, when
they think about straightly seeking job, what skill and competence they have
got is a big matter of questioning. So, doing both choices in the same time is
an alternative.
Continuing study
as well as seeking job is possibly done but it will be hard for them.
Conventionally studying in the university needs much time to spend especially
in the first year. It is true because they have to do and adapt a lot of things
in their new higher school. it will be very hard to looking for job. Therefore
it should come to their mind of continuing studying at higher school from their
own home. As result, the available time will be more flexible for them. Then it
will be very possible to seek job and get the appropriate one. This type of
studying is publicly known as distance learning.
As the
alternative method of studying, besides the conventional studying which
students and the lecturer have to meet in the fixed time and place regularly,
distance learning provides possibility to grow better. Possibly working and
studying surely will create high quality graduate. Distance learning should
appear as a considerable choice for them.
