1. WHAT IS AN EXPOSITORY ESSAY
Created by Essay-Academy.com

2. AN EXPOSITORY ESSAY IS AN
ESSAY TYPE WHERE YOU
EXPLAIN SOME INFORMATION
TO THE READERS.

3. 1. CHOOSING A TOPIC
The first step is choosing a topic for
your expository essay. Think about the
most interesting themes and problems
for you. You have to be a master in
your issue, as you write an expository
essay.
For example, if you are interested in
folk studies, you may write an
expository essay on the topic “What
Are The Folk Texts?”.

4. 2. THINKING ABOUT THE AUDIENCE
Thinking about the audience is a
very important item, if you write an
essay (especially, in the case if you
write an expository essay).
Suppose your potential readers are
the doctors of philological sciences.
In this case you shouldn’t start your
expository essay with a definition of
the folk texts like this: “Folk texts
are oral and traditional texts”.

5. Such a definition of the folk texts is
appropriate for boys and girls in primary
school.
Instead of it, you may say: “The thought
that the folk texts are only the texts of folk
origin is wrong. The origin of the text is
not so important for the folklorists; the
main thing they pay attention is the
transformation of the text. For example, if
a song has a concrete author, but we
know different variants (transformations)
of this song, we may interpret it as a folk
text…”.

6. 3. READING THE LITERATURE
CONNECTED WITH YOUR ISSUE
Even if you know how to make
a good explanation of the
subject of your essay, it will be
useful for you to read some
literature on your topic.
Anyway, you will learn a lot of
new and interesting
information for you.

7. You may compare some old and
new (including recently published)
textbooks, monographs, articles,
etc. Try to make a conclusion how
an understanding of the folk texts
was changing during the certain
period of time. You also can make a
comparative analysis of the
definition of the term “the folk texts”
in different countries of the world.

8. 4. WRITING AN EXPOSITORY ESSAY
An expository essay usually has
a structure like a five paragraph
essay. This essay type has, as
you can guess, five paragraphs:
an introductory paragraph, the
first body paragraph, the
second body paragraph, the
third body paragraph and a
concluding paragraph.

9. While writing an expository essay,
remember the golden rule: you have
to give your reader some new
information, so avoid banal and
general phrases.
You may choose an interesting topic
for your expository essay right now!
