Contoh Teks Hortatory Exposition:

Thesis: Plastic waste has become one of
the most critical environmental issues. It is
essential that we take immediate actions to
reduce plastic waste before it causes more
harm to the planet.

Arguments: Firstly, plastic is non-
biodegradable, which means it does not
decompose easily. As a result, it can
remain in the environment for hundreds of
years, leading to land and water pollution.
Secondly, many animals, particularly
marine creatures, mistakenly ingest plastic
waste, leading to health problems or even
death. Thirdly, the production of plastic
requires a significant amount of fossil
fuels, contributing to global warming and
resource depletion.

plastic waste. This can be done by promoting the use of biodegradable materials, implementing
stricter regulations on plastic production, and encouraging the public to recycle and reduce
plastic usage.
