Example of Hortatory
Exposition Text
Mobile Phones Should Not be Banned in
School [Tittle]
Mobile phones is not used just for
calling, but sending text, taking pictures, accessing internet, and much more.
Many students bring their phones to school. For them, mobile phone has many
uses. So, mobile phones should not be banned in school. Why do I said
that? [Thesis]
Firstly,
students call their parents for other needs. By mobile phone, student can call
or their close relative if they need something to be brought to school. In
addition, mobile phone can be used to call their children when one of their
family were hit by disasters suddenly. And then, student can called their
parent to pick her up when want to go home. [Arguments]
Secondly,
increased of knowledge among students. When trying to find answer of difficult
task at school, mobile phone can be used as a connecting to search the answer
through GPRS or WiFi networks. [Arguments]
Finally,
expand the network of friendship among students. School is the right place to
find friend. Average, student been at school about 7 hours or more. So that, a lot
of students found their friend in the school environment . Therefore,
communication between friends should be kept on of which using a mobile phone. [Arguments]
So,
I think mobile phone should not be banned in school. But, use your phone in the
time and right place so that no one was disturbed. [Recommendation]

the axis. This is also called as a histogram, bar graph is useful when there is a numerical comparison.

parts that make up a whole. They can be useful for comparing the size of
relative parts.

15. So, Too, Either, Neither , Etc
1. “So and “too”. The
words ‘so; and ‘too’ are used combine two positive statements with
identical predicates to form a compound sentence. An auxiliary must be
included in the second part of the sentence.
However, there is a difference while using ‘so and ‘too’.
-so + auxiliary verb + subject
-subject + auxiliary verb + too
Subject 1 + to be/verb+ object/complement+and+so+aux+subject 2
Example:
Snow White was beautiful
The Queen was beautiful
(Snow White was beautiful and so was The Queen)
Examples:
I likes playing guitar. Fandy also likes playing guitar.
- I likes playing guitar and so does Fandy.
- I likes playing guitar and Fandy does too.
2. TOO
Subject 1 + to be/verb+ object/complement+and+subject 2+aux+too
Example:
Snow White was beautiful
The Queen was beautiful
(Snow White was beautiful and The Queen was too)
2. ‘Either and ‘Neither‘.
The word ‘either and ‘neither’ are used to combine two negative
statements with identical predicates to form a compound sentence. The
predicate is not repeated completely in the second part of the compound
sentence. An auxiliary must be included in the second part of the
sentence.
There is a difference while using ‘either’ and ‘neither’.
-subject + auxiliary verb + not + either
-neither + auxiliary verb + subject
Either
Subject 1 + verb+ object +and+neither+aux+subject 2
Example:
Hima can not sing a song
Shela can not sing a song
(Hima can not sing a song and neither can Shela)
Neither
Subject 1 + verb+ object+and+ subject 2+aux+not+either
Hima can not sing a song
Shela can not sing a song
(Hima can not sing a song and Shela can not either )

-Jeremy is not doing his homework now. Aji is also not doing his homework.
-Jeremy is not doing his homework and Aji is not either.
-Jeremy is not doing his homework and neither is Aji.
14. Definite and Indefinite Pronoun
Definition of Definite and Indefinite Pronoun :
An indefinite pronoun does not refer to any specific person,
thing or amount. It is vague and "not definite". Some typical
indefinite pronouns are:
all, another, any, anybody/anyone, anything, each,
everybody/everyone, everything, few, many, nobody, none, one, several, some,
somebody/someone.
Note that many indefinite pronouns also function as other parts of speech. Look at "another" in the following sentences:
He has one job in the day and another at night. (pronoun)
I'd like another drink, please. (adjective)
Most indefinite pronouns are either singular or plural.
However, some of them can be singular in one context and plural in another. The
most common indefinite pronouns are listed below, with examples, as singular,
plural or singular/plural.
Notice that a singular pronoun takes a singular verb AND
that any personal pronoun should also agree (in number and gender). Look at
these examples:
Each of the players has a doctor.
I met two girls. One has given me her phone number.
Similarly, plural pronouns need plural agreement:
Many have expressed their views.

* Some people say that "none" should always take a singular verb, even when talking about countable nouns (eg five friends). They argue that "none" means "no one", and "one" is obviously singular. They say that "I invited five friends but none has come" is correct and "I invited five friends but none have come" is incorrect. Historically and grammatically there is little to support this view. "None" has been used for hundreds of years with both a singular and a plural verb, according to the context and the emphasis required.
