HORTATORY VS ANALYTICAL TEXT

Summary

This lesson compares two types of exposition texts: hortatory and analytical exposition. Hortatory exposition recommends actions or behaviors, often ending with a suggestion for what should or should not be done. Analytical exposition, on the other hand, persuades the reader that an idea is important, concluding with a reiteration of the thesis. Both share a similar structure, including a thesis, arguments, and a final section, but differ in their endings: hortatory text features recommendations, while analytical text presents a restatement of the main idea. The lesson emphasizes understanding these key differences through clear examples and language elements.
