Today,
I had a studying for a Discourse Approach in Reading. I learned about the Expository Text,
Expository text is written to inform the reader about a specific object. Generally speaking, expository text contains
and explicit or implicit topic sentence with the main idea and the supporting
ideas. These ideas are organized into
text structures. Text structures are
author’s arrangements or organizations of ideas in text. These organizations or patterns include listing
of ideas, sequencing of ideas according to a time order, comparing and
contrasting ideas, describing characteristics of ideas, discussing causes and
effects of ideas and addressing the problems certain ideas present as well as
their solutions. Often the writer
provides key or signal words that identify the structure of a paragraph. For example, a paragraph organized into
sequence stats its main idea in the topic sentence, and to support the main
idea the author sets out details in a specific order that carries the correct
meaning of the text. Key or cue words
include first, second. Third, etc., plus next, then, finally, last, after that,
etc.
The
teacher assigned me to do worksheet.
Text1:
Read the expository text and answer the questions, matched the topic with each
paragraph, wrote letter in the space provided. I think that this text is the
most difficult.
Text2:
Read about how to cope with insomnia, circle the letter next to the best
answer, chose a synonym for the word in bold type in each sentence, used
appropriate tenses for verbs and singular or plural forms for nouns and wrote
any appropriate preposition or verb completer in the blank spaces.
I felt
tired about this lesson because I didn’t know the vocabulary, it was very
difficult for me. I am worried about doing the exam coming soon.
