 EXPOSITORY WRITING
Expository writing is writing that
seeks to explain, illuminate or
'expose' (which is where the word
'expository' comes from). This
type of writing can include
essays, newspaper and
magazine articles, instruction
manuals, textbooks,
encyclopaedia, articles and other
forms of writing, so long as they
seek to explain.

EXAMPLE OF EXPOSITORY
WRITING
For example, if you wanted to describe
what chocolate chip cookies are like, you
might write: 'Chocolate chip cookies are
one of the most popular desserts in the
world. They can either be crispy or soft
and have a sweet smell to them
reminiscent of a bakery. They taste rich
and melt in your mouth. When they bake,
they 'wrinkle' up in the oven, and the
combination of the nooks and crannies in
the dough with the mouth-watering
chocolate chips on top make them hard to
resist.' These several sentences have
aptly described chocolate chip cookies
using sight, smell, taste and touch.
DESCRIPTIVE WRITING . EXAMPLE OF DESCRIPTIVE
WRITING
Descriptive writing is a literary
My dog’s fur felt like silk against my
device in which the author uses
skin and her black coloring shone,
details to paint a picture with their
absorbing the sunlight and reflecting
words. This process will provide
it back like a pure, dark mirror.
readers with descriptions of
people, places, objects, and
events through the use of suitable
details

comfortable bed you’ll ever sleep on.

your home, remove the mattress, and
refund you in full. You’ve got nothing to
lose. Give it a try today.
NARRATIVE WRITING
A narrative is a form
of writing that tells a
story. Narratives can be essays,
fairy tales, movies, and
jokes. Narratives have five
elements: plot, setting, character,
conflict, and theme. Writers use
narrator style, chronological
order, a point of view, and other
strategies to tell a story.

EXAMPLE OF NARRATIVE
WRITING
Novels that you read
are narratives. For example
the Harry Potter series is a set of
books that relate the story of
Harry's education as a wizard at
Hogwarts, and his fight against
the evil voldemort.
