What is expository?

Explanatory writing is a style that introduces the shape, nature and structure of objective things, and explains the causes, functions and relationships of things, with explanation as the main expression. Explanatory texts can be divided into concrete expository texts and abstract expository texts.

Linguistically speaking, it can be divided into simple exposition and literary exposition (also called scientific essay).

What is the essay? I have never heard of it.

The so-called expository article is an article that gives people knowledge by explaining things and explaining things as the main expression. It makes people understand the shape, structure, nature, types, causes, functions, relationships or concepts, characteristics, sources, evolution, similarities and differences of things through the explanation of physical things or the explanation of abstract arrangement, so as to obtain relevant knowledge. Giving priority to explanation is a sign that explanatory writing is different from other styles in expression.

Among all kinds of article styles, descriptive style is a relatively independent category. In people's social life, expository text shows its important role and practical value. Real life fully shows that expository writing is not an insignificant article form, but a common style widely used, which is closely related to people's production, work and life, and due to the needs of social life, expository writing is emerging in large numbers.

With regard to the classification of expository texts, people now have different classification methods from different angles according to their own standards. According to the expression of expository texts, we can generally divide them into three categories: one is explanatory expository texts; Second, narrative explanatory text; Third, literature expository.

Explanatory exposition that explains things and things from several different aspects is called explanatory exposition. Texts or teaching materials about history, geography, physics, chemistry, animals and plants, science and health, language and literature, scientific experiment reports, and instructions on the use of utensils all belong to this category.

A descriptive exposition that introduces things through a simple overview or plot is called a narrative exposition. Synopsis of various operas in movies and TV series, abstracts of literary works such as novels, explanations of comic books or some photographic photos, etc. All fall into this category.

An expository article that introduces and explains things in an intuitive way is called a literary expository article. This kind of expository writing is more literary. Knowledge sketch (or scientific sketch), scenic spots and historical sites and descriptions of cultural relics all belong to this category.

Generally speaking, the first two writing methods are relatively plain, focusing on the detailed description of things or things. The latter style is lively and interesting, and mostly adopts literary style.
