FIVE TYPES OF INFORMATIONAL TEXT STRUCTURES

1. Description is a text structure that describes


something. It starts with an introduction and provides
descriptions of the subject, idea, or character in the text.
It makes use of vivid words.
2. Sequence is a text structure that covers few purposes
such as sequential instructions, chronological events,
and arguments that use evidences to support a claim.
3. Cause and Effect is a text structure that explains why
an action happened and provides the result of that
action. This structure becomes complex when the effect
has multiple causes or vice versa. This is usually
encountered in historical texts.
4. Compare and Contrast is a text structure that
involves a comparison of two or more persons,
animals, things, or concepts, revealing how they are
similar and how they are different.
5. Problem and Solution is a text structure that involves
two parts: the author identifies a problem and details a
solution.

her gumamela plant. As a result, the plant blooms and grows healthy. Her
neighbors love watching the growing plants.

I can tell about the favorite food of my friends, Ana and May. Based on
my observations, Ana loves to eat pasta and meat. However, May prefers rice and
vegetables. For dessert, both of them seem to like black sambo.

Example:
