Analytical Exposition is a text that elaborates the writer‘s idea about the phenomenon
surrounding. Its social function is to persuade the reader that the idea is important matter, and
to analyze the topic that the thesis/opinion is correct by developing an argument to support it.

arguments may vary, but each argument must be supported by evidence and
explanation.
c. Reiteration: Restating the writer’s point of view / to strengthen the thesis. We can use
the following phrase to make conclusion in reiteration.

Street Furniture

In towns, they were very few bus shelters until about thirty years ago. Since then they
have appeared everywhere, probably because most people no longer wear the kinds of clothes
that protect them from the wind, cold, and rain. Country bus shelters have been with us for a
good deal longer. Before the Second World War, many of them were paid for by rich local
people, often in memory of a member of their family. Some were well built and very
attractive, to fit in with the surroundings.

By the 1870’s public lavatories were being installed all over Britain. May of them, for
gentlemen only, were made of iron, highly decorated and often in the shape of Indian Greek
temples. A little later in the 1880’s, more solid structures of brick or stone were being built,
with accomodation for ladies and gentlemen. Some of these looked like cottages or medieval
castles.

Public drinking fountains are to be found everywhere. Most of them were built in the
ninetheenth century and some are very grand. The old type of drinking fountains was note
very hygienic. It usually had an iron drinking cup, fixed to a chain, and everyone used it.
They were built for three reasons. Firstly, they provided people with pure water to drink, at a
time when much of the drinking water available, especially from wells and pumps, was
dangerous to health. Secondly, they were memorials to local resident. Finally, they were
intended to persuade people to drink water, instead of beer or sprites.

The Polar Bear

The Polar Bear or white bear is distinguished for his tremendous ferocity. They are
very numerous in the polar seas. There it is seen not only on land and fixed ice, but on
floating ice several leagues out at sea. At sea, the food of this animal is fish, seals, and the
carcases of whales; on land, it preys upon deer and other animals, and will, like the Black
Bear, eat many kinds of berries. In winter, it beds itself deeply under the snow or eminences
of ice, and awaits, in a torpid state, the return of the sun. The Black Bear lives in the woods of
the United States, and it is not as large as the Polar or Brown Bear, but lives very much like
the Polar bear.
