Cars should be

Thesis
|
Cars should be
banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of
road deaths and other accidents.
|
Arguments
|
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to
most of the pollution in the world.
Cars emit a deadly
gas that causes illnesses such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ off
asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.
Secondly, the city
is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians
in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest
killers.
Thirdly, cars are
very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night,
or concentrate on your homework, and especially talk to someone.

Reiteration
|
In conclusion, cars
should be banned from the city for the reasons listed.

Before we are going to
smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousands people die every
year in Britain
as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road
accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by
smoking.
Ninety percent of lung
cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times
more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty
cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people
who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half
times more likely to die of heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally, children
of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in
smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he
had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good
for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit.
Smoking however is not good for every body else.
Notes on the
generic structure:
From the generic
structure, what make big different is that analytical exposition ends with
paragraph to strengthen the thesis while hortatory makes a recommendation for
readers.
Thesis: This pre-conclusive paragraph states the
writer’s point of view about the topic discussed. Writer has show himself in
clear position of the discussed topic. Paragraph 1 is the thesis of this
analytical exposition text. It states the fact of the very fatal impact of the
smoking habit. Clearly the writer wants to say that smoking is not a good
habit.
Arguments: Presenting arguments in analytical exposition
text is as important as giving conflict plot in narrative text. The series of
argument will strengthen the thesis stated before. In this example of
analytical exposition text, paragraph 2 and 3 are the detail arguments
presented in a reporting fact to support that smoking is not good even for
smokers themselves. Furthermore, people who do not smoke but they are in smoky
area have the bad effect too from the smoking habit.
Reiteration: This end paragraph actually is restating the
thesis. It is something like conclusive paragraph from the previous arguments.
The last paragraph of this example of analytical exposition points again that
smoking is not good for smokers and people around smokers. However smoking is very
good for Cigarette Companies
