direction for the text.
 KEY STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

2. Clear Transitions
INTRODUCTION
• The use of clear and proper Thesis Statement
transitions will glue the
introduction, the body, and
BODY
the conclusion.
• Without effective use of

CONCLUSION
may seem like a disjointed
collection of sentences.

3. A body that contains
INTRODUCTION
evidence and support Thesis Statement
While most people might think of an
expository text like an essay as
something that can be written even BODY

examples and explanations forms a
huge part of a fact-based expository CONCLUSION
text.
 KEY STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

4. An effective conclusion
Ø It is essential to remember that a INTRODUCTION
conclusion is not only meant to Thesis Statement
summarize the ideas presented from
the introduction to the body. BODY
Ø Instead, a conclusion should tie the Supporting Evidence
ideas altogether while highlighting
the true essence of the main idea in
the text. CONCLUSION
Structures and Patterns of
Idea Development in
Expository Essays
Cause and Effect:
• The writer presents the information by explaining
how or why a certain event or occurrence
happened [cause] and what resulted from that
cause or occurrence [effect].
Example: The surface of the Earth is divided into pieces called
“tectonic plates.” These plates move. When the plates rub
against each other, they do not move smoothly. When the
plates do not move smoothly, earthquakes result. Some parts
of the world get more earthquakes than other parts. The parts
of the earth that get most earthquakes are near the edges of
these plates.
Example: Students are not allowed to chew gum in my class.
There are many good reasons for this rule. First, some
irresponsible students make messes with their gum. They leave it
underneath desks, drop it on the floor, or put it on other people’s
property. Another reason why I don’t allow students to chew gum
is because it is a distracHon. When they are allowed to chew gum,
students are more worried about having it, popping it, chewing it,
and snapping it then they are in listening, wriHng, reading, and
learning.
Comparison and Contrast
• The writer presents the informa1on by
providing details as to how things, concepts,
or ideas are alike or different.
Example: “The iPhone vs. Android comparison is a never-ending
debate on which one is best. It will likely never have a real
winner, but we’re going to try and help you to find your
personal pick all the same. The latest version of both operaHng
systems—iOS 16 and Android 13—are both excellent, but in
slightly different ways. Many of their features overlap, but
design-wise they look quite different, aside from the basic
touchscreen-focused layout. … Owning an iPhone is a simpler,
more convenient experience. … Android-device ownership is a
bit harder. …”
Example: Apples and oranges are both fruits, which
means that they have seeds inside of them. Each
has a skin, but orange skins are thick and easy to
peel. Apple skins are thinner and do not peel easily.
Oranges also contain more acid than apples, but
both fruits are delicious.
Descrip@on
• The topic is presented by providing
descrip1ons about its aHributes, features,
and examples.
Example: Ibuprofen is an analgesic and anH-inflammatory
medicine indicated for the treatment of painful condiHons, with
significant inflammaHon, such as mild rheumatoid arthriHs and
osteoarthriHs or musculoskeletal ailments and for moderate
pain in the postoperaHve period, dental pain, dysmenorrhea
and headaches.
Problem and Solution
• The writer may present problem and provide
one or more solutions.
Example: The foremost problem with skilled professionals, such
as doctors and nurses leaving is that it deprives the country of
people who are necessary to its survival. A shortage of doctors
and nurses in hospitals could lead to them being severely
understaffed, even though they have the trained doctors and
nurses who are local and willing to work. Therefore, it must be
proposed that skilled professionals must enter first into
mandatory service in their origin country before being able to
migrate.
Example: Why the lawn mower was invented.
The Problem: Grass was growing too high and
was hard to get rid of.
The Solution: The lawn mower was invented to
easily allow people to shorten grass levels.

Problem Solu/on
Sequence
• In this structure, informa1on may be
presented in a way that follows numerical or
chronological sequence either explicitly or
implicitly.
Example: On making a great lemonade, first, cut it into two
equal halves. With the help of a squeezer, squeeze the lemon
juice into a glass from each half. Now add sugar, salt and
water. SHr it properly unHl the sugar and salt dissolve. Then,
Lemon juice is ready to be served. Serve cool with ice cubes in
insulated food jar.
• Example: How to Make Cookies. First, get
your materials. Then, make your dough.
Lastly, cook your dough at 400 degrees for 10
minutes.
