2. Purpose of Exposition Text
Exposition texts have several main purposes that

underlie their creation. Here is an elaboration of each of
these purposes:
a. To Clearly Inform the Reader About Information
One of the main purposes of an expository text
is to provide clear and accurate information to the
reader. This is important so that the reader gains a
correct understanding and no misunderstandings

occur. In an expository text, the writer strives to
present facts, data, and explanations in an objective
and structured manner. Thus, this text minimizes
differences in information reception among readers.
For example, in an expository text about climate
change, the writer will present scientific data and

explanations about the phenomenon to give the
reader a comprehensive and accurate picture.
b. To Make the Reader Interested in Continuing to
Read the Text
Expository texts are also designed to attract the
reader's interest. The writer uses various techniques
such as an engaging writing style, relevant
examples, and the presentation of interesting

information. The goal is to make the reader feel
interested and continue reading the text to the end.
For instance, in an expository text about the benefits
of exercise, the writer might start with an intriguing
anecdote or a rhetorical question that piques the
reader's curiosity.

c. To Explain Specific Information with the Hope of
Enhancing the Reader's Knowledge
