- Conclusion 33 The sample of explanation text is written below: What causes weather? Weather is the physical condition of the atmosphere at a particular time. It includes temperature, air pressure and water content. Weather is produced when air moves from place to place. This moving air is known as wind. Winds are caused by warm air rising and cooler air moving in to replace it. Warm air is usually less denselighter than cool air; therefore, it creates low air pressure. Cool air is more denseheavier and creates high air pressure. Usually we have fine weather when the air pressure is high and clouds, rain or snow when the air pressure drops. 34

6. Exposition

Exposition is a kind of the text where the writer tries to explain and give information about something. In this kind of text the information given by the author is presented in one side, mostly supporting the idea of the author. Simply, the purpose of exposition is to persuade the reader to support the author’s idea. The construct of exposition text is divided into three 35 : - Introduction, contain author’s point of view. - Argumentation - Conclusion The sample of the exposition text is as written below: Drinking Coffee has Health Benefits Drinking coffee may not harm people. Tea, coffee and soda are few beverages which contain drug called caffeine. In its natural state, caffeine, a silky crystalline substance, is a white or yellow powder, which is bitter tasting and odorless. Why should I say that? I propose some arguments as follows: 33 Mark, op. cit., p. 82. 34 Ibid. 35 Mark, op. cit., p. 22. First, according to an old legend, ever since the third century, monks began using caffeine in order to help them stay awake during evening prayer services. Now, almost seventeen centuries later, we still use caffeine for the same purpose as well as other purposes. Second, caffeine is absorbed through the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream, it takes anywhere from fifteen to forty-five minutes to reach its peak levels. The blood flow through the kidney increases, which triggers urination. Third, some more therapeutic uses for caffeine are: to help analgesics work more efficiently, to relieve depression to drug addicts, to kill skin funguses, to improve the movement of sperm, and to keep people from having seizures during electroconvulsive therapy. Thus if we want to say that first, we may drink coffee, without feeling scare of bad impact of the caffeine; second, don’t drink too much; third, drink coffee for therapeutic purposes, at last we needn’t to addict to coffee. 36

7. Review

Review based one Oxford Dictionary is described as: A report in a newspaper or magazine in which somebody gives their opinion of a book, play, filmmovie. 37 In order to give a clear image about review here an example of review: 2012 illm 2012 is Roland Emmerich’s film which uses the Mayan calendar and other end of-days prophecies for their doomsday scenario. It images the world coming to an end 2012. 2012 film brings off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early on. It starts when Cussack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as fireways and skycrappers crumble all round him from the shock of a 10.5 R.S. earthquake. The preposterous flying sequence is equally thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the giant ark, when an equipment malfunction threatens almost the entire mission. Unfortunately, the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited with the necessary clarity. In 2012 film, Emmerich leaves us confused as to exactly what is happening to whom. However, Emmerich 2012 deserves credit for casting Cussack. 36 Herman, op.cit., p. 213. 37 Hornby, op. cit., p. 1141.
