11. EXPOSITION TEXT
What is an exposition?
An exposition is a piece of text that presents one side of an issue. The purpose of the exposition is to
persuade the reader or listener by presenting one side of an argument, that is , the case or the case
against.
Exposition texts can be in the form of :
1. advertisements
2. spoken arguments
3. editorials
Features of an exposition
CONSTRUCTING AN EXPOSITION
An exposition text usually has three sections. The first section introduces the author’s point of view and can
preview arguments that may follow in the text. Next comes a series of arguments that aim to convince the
audience. The final section is a conclusion that sum up the arguments and reinforces the author’s point of view.
THE ARRANGEMENT of EXPOSITION
1. An introductory statement
1.1.The author’s point of view is called the thesis of the argument and this is given in the introduction.
1.2. The introduction can include a previews of the arguments that will follow in the next section of the text.
1.3. A question or emotional statement can be used to capture the audience’’ attention.

12. Firstly,our country is made up of many lands. We are surrounded by w
ater. It is not surprising that many people have growm to love the sea. In order to be able to spend more time
near the sea, they decide to work on it. Many of them spend their whole lives on the water.
Secondly, the many school dropouts in the country as well as those young men who have just finished their
education in school are looking for jobs at the same time. Competition for jobs is therefore great. Many fail to
get work in offce or factories, so these people turn to the sea as a last resort.
Thirdly, some young men face problem at home. They want to get as far away from these problems as
possible. The sea becomes a popular means of escape.
Finally, young people are naturally advantageous. They love to explore new places. They enjoy the excitement
that comes with this. By working on a ship, they are able to travel far and wide. Besides, food and lodging on
board the ship are free. Thus , many young men are attracted to maritime profession.
EXAMPLE 2:
Television is the most popular form of entertainment in any household. But I think Television tends to
have a tremendous influence on its viewers.
Firstly, based on the recent research, people of all ages use this medium to entertain themselves for an
average of five hours a day. Of course, constant exposure of TV will influence the viewers’ thinking and
attitude. This can be seen from the fact that many criminals are inspired from the scene on TV.
Secondly, people can be affected by constant watching television. This is due to the fact that they less in
physical activities, spend less time reading and working and see a work of violence that can affect their
own feelings of security.
Finally, comercial advertisement on TV can be a brain washing. Psychologically, constant show of
advertisement will shape one’s image about one product. No wonder people are easier to remember the
motto or slogan of one advertisement than to retrieve information that they have learned.
In short, TV will be a kind of monster can conquer one’s mind and attitude.
EXAMPLE 3
Cigarette smokers are said to have chance of getting various fatal diseases.But I think that other
people’s tobacco smoke seems to increase the chances of non-smokers getting a wide range of cancers.

13. First , although passive smokers inhale less tobacco smoke, the researchers point out that the smoke they
breathe in is richer in many toxic chemicals. There is an example, three times as much as benzo-
apyrene, six times as much loluene and more than 50 times as much dimenthyl nitrosamine. Of course
these substances will harm our body in the long run.
Second , the recent research reported that the risk of getting cancers not normally associated with
smoking also rose among passive smokers. The risk of leukaemia rose 6 – 8 times and the risk of
cervical cancer increased 3 – 4 times.
Third , past studies have found that by product of cigarette smoke such as coinine and thiocynate, turn
up in the blood, urine and saliva of non –smoking adults, children and fetuses that have been exposed to
smokers. These substances are the main causes of various cancers.
In short , the effects of exposure to the cigarette smoking of others are greater than has been previously
suspected. That is why passive smokers have more chances of contracting cancer than people with no such
expose.
Examples of Exposition
Exposition can be seen in music, films, television shows, plays, and written text. It is the writer's
opportunity to give background information to the reader or listener about the setting, establish the theme
and introduce the characters.
In music, the exposition is the first part in the sonata form which introduces the themes used in the
composition or the opening section of a fugue.
In a play, film or television show, exposition would be used anywhere in the work to give background
information on characters and other parts of the work.
Exposition in written texts also gives background and character information; but, it can be more difficult
to understand as a literary tool than exposition in music, plays or other visual entertainment since there
are so many ways to present the information in written text.
Ways to Present Exposition
The word “exposition” comes from the Latin and means “to place.” It informs, describes, and explains.
Regardless of the type of exposition you write, the writing needs to be concise and easy to understand.
There are several types of exposition:
Description exposition - The writer explains the characteristics of a topic, shows examples, and describes
features.

14. Example: The U.S. flag consists of thirteen alternating stripes of red and blue, representing the 13 original
states. In the top left of the flag there is a field of blue with fifty stars, one for each state.
Comparison exposition - The writer shows how two topics are alike or different.
Example: The alligator has a u-shaped, round snout and tends to live in freshwater swamps and streams.
The crocodile has a long, v-shaped nose and can live in saltier waters as well as freshwater habitats.
Cause and effect exposition - The writer explains the cause of an event and thoroughly investigates the
effects.
Example: The Civil War was caused because of conflicts between states on the subjects of states' rights
and slavery. Before the war the southern states relied on slaves to plant and harvest the crops. These
southern states wanted to make decisions separate from the northern states and banded together as "The
Confederates," threatening to leave the U.S. The northern soldiers were victories in the Civil War,
reestablishing that states in the south had to confirm to U.S. laws, including the abolishment of slavery.
Problem and solution exposition - The author sets forth a problem, and then explains possible solutions to
it.
Example: This family was a victim of a problem they could have avoided-a problem that, according to
Florida park rangers, hundreds of visitors suffer each year. "Several times a month," ranger Rod Torres of
O'Leno State Park said, "people get scared and leave the park in the middle of the night." Those people
picked the wrong kind of park to visit. Not that there was anything wrong with the park: The hikers
camped next to them loved the wild isolation of it. But it just wasn't the kind of place the couple from
New Jersey had in mind when they decided to camp out on this trip through Florida. If they had known
about the different kinds of parks in Florida, they might have stayed in a place they loved.”
Sequence exposition - The writer shows events in either chronological or numbered order.
Example: The timeline of the Civil War included these key timeframes:
1600s - States begin to adopt laws regarding slavery that are appropriate for their individual states.
1700s - Some states are beginning to express thoughts that slavery should be abolished.
1800s - Rebellion starts against slavery with seven states threatening to secede from the U.S. Lincoln was
inaugurated. The Civil War began which the north eventually won.
Exposition: The Way to Step into the Story
Exposition gives the reader or listener the full spectrum of the story. By adding more details the writer
can open the door and let the reader fully step into the story or the music.

15. Ketahuilah, bahwa sesungguhnya kehidupan dunia ini hanyalah permainan dan suatu yang
melalaikan, perhiasan dan bermegah- megah antara kamu serta berbangga-banggaan tentang
banyaknya harta dan anak, seperti hujan yang tanam-tanamannya mengagumkan para petani;
kemudian tanaman itu menjadi kering dan kamu lihat warnanya kuning kemudian menjadi
hancur. dan di akhirat (nanti) ada azab yang keras dan ampunan dari Allah serta keridhaan-Nya,
dan kehidupan dunia ini tidak lain hanyalah kesenangan yang menipu (QS. Al-Hadid:20).
