So it can be said that exposition text is an open writing that can produce pros and cons for the author.
Writing that is classified as exposition text is sometimes also known as argumentative text, because this text will be dominated by the author's arguments and that is the characteristic that distinguishes the type of exposition text from other texts.
Exposition Text Type There are two types of exposition text in English that you can distinguish. Among others are:
Analytical Exposition
Analytical exposition is a type of exposition text that begins with a statement that shows the author's attitude, opinion, or position on the theme being discussed, then supported by various arguments and closes with an affirmation or restatement of the opinion stated at the beginning.
Hortatory Exposition
Hortatory exposition is a type of exposition text that begins with a statement containing the issue or problem that is raised as the theme of the writing. Then it is supported by various arguments and supporting evidence that can lead the reader to the author's point of view. Finally, the text will close with suggestions or recommendations from the author on what should be done or happened related to the problem or issue presented at the beginning.
Text Structure in Exposition Text To write exposition text, there are three structures that must be studied and applied in your writing. Among others are:
Thesis: This section will contain the issue or problem that will be raised, while in the analytical exposition this section will contain the position, opinion or attitude of the author.

Reitaration: Reiteration is a conclusion. The hortatory exposition will contain recommendations or suggestions from the author on the problem that is the theme of the writing. While the analytical exposition, this section will contain a re-statement from the author.
