Text types may be categorized in a number of ways.

The following lists the more


common text types you read almost every day.
1. Narrative – tells a story which can be fiction (made-up story) or non-fiction (real
events). Shorts stories and other traditional tales are examples of fiction, while
biographies are examples of narrative non-fiction.
2. Explanation - explains a particular subject or topic through ideas that support it. It
is a kind of factual text that explains how or why things are. It elaborates on how or
why something occurs or give information on how to do something.
3. Expository – are also informational texts that present factual data on a topic
through description, sequence, comparison and contrast, cause and effect, and
problem-solution.
4. Procedural text - lists a sequence of actions or steps needed to make or do
something. Some examples include recipes, science experiments, assembly manuals,
or instructions for playing games. This should not be confused with explanations on
processes, because procedural texts are more directive and imperative. They instruct
readers on how to go about processes.
5. Recount - retells past events which may either be personal or factual.

 Personal recount - retells past events that the writer was personally involved in.
Diary entries and short personal memoirs are examples of personal recounts

 Factual recount - retells events that also happened in real life but may not be
about the writer himself/herself. News reports and witness statements are examples
of factual recounting.

6. Persuasive text - intends to convince the readers/listeners to believe, perform a


certain action or change mind. Examples of persuasive text types include
advertisements, editorials, speeches, arguments, and persuasive
essays and speeches

Friendship Detour
by Clarit, Tresh
Aga’s fun afternoon was replaced with sadness. The moment he checked his timeline
on Facebook, Bobby was the topic. Aga was shocked that his best friend, Bobby died.
Five hours earlier, they ate chicken barbecue and enjoyed the view of their favorite
beach resort. After that, they proceeded to a nearby restaurant and ordered the best-
selling halo-halo. They saw other friends enjoying their meals, too. Aga just decided
to go home to rest for the next day’s trip. They both got into their motorbikes. That
was the last time Aga saw him.
Example 2. Explanation
Why Sleep is Important
Sleep is like food for your brain. Getting enough sleep is important for your physical and mental wellbeing.
Sleep lets your mind recharge and process information. It’s the only part of the day that your body gets to
rest and repair. Sleep can also help you feel better, think more clearly, and concentrate better. It gives you
energy to complete tasks and can make you more alert. Without enough sleep you may have problems
with thinking, concentrating, memory, reaction times and mood.

Example 3. Expository text


There are several characteristics which distinguish plants from animals. Green plants are able to
manufacture their own food from substances in the environment. This process is known as photosynthesis.
In contrast, animals, including man, get their food either directly from plants or indirectly by eating animals
which have eaten plants. Plants are generally stationary. Animals, on the other hand, can usually move
about. In external appearance, plants are usually green. They grow in a branching fashion at their
extremities, and their growth continues throughout their lives. Animals, however, are very diverse in their
external appearance. Their growth pattern is not limited to their extremities. It is evenly distributed and
only occurs in a definite time peri

Memories Last a Lifetime

experiences such as: riding on a carabao, climbing fruit trees, swimming in the river
and pounding pinipig rice. I could not forget also how my mother cooked her special
bibingka or rice cake for us. I felt that life in the farm was fun. It made me realize that
happiness cannot only be found at the city but also in the countryside.
