Explanatory writing is a style that objectively explains things, aiming at giving readers knowledge. The biggest headache for middle school students is expository writing, which is often entangled. In fact, expository writing is not what students are afraid of. As long as the messy things are sorted out, the reading expositions are combined with the writing expositions, and the reading texts are taken as examples of writing, and more observation, analysis and practice are made, you can gradually learn to choose the appropriate interpretation methods and explain the characteristics of things correctly and orderly. ?

First, to write expository texts, we must first distinguish between expository texts and narrative texts. Explanatory writing teaches people to know and understand, while narrative writing aims to make people emotional and emotional. Explanatory text only explains the characteristics of things, clarifies principles, introduces knowledge, and explanation is the means. The difference between expository writing and argumentative writing is that the purpose of expository writing is mainly explanation, while the purpose of argumentative writing is mainly reasoning; Explanatory writing requires that the actual things or abstract things themselves be made clear, while argumentative writing requires that personal views or opinions be put forward on the object of discussion. ?

Second, to complete an expository essay, you must memorize its characteristics. The characteristics of expository writing are mainly descriptive, knowledgeable, scientific and practical. Only by mastering these characteristics of expository writing can we write expository writing. ?

Third, the types of expositions should be clearly divided. From the content, expository essays can be divided into expository essays and expository essays, and from the way of expression, they can be divided into plain expository essays and scientific essays. ? Interpretation of things: taking specific things as the object of explanation, focusing on what things are, scientifically explaining the characteristics of things such as state, nature, function, structure, development and change. Explanatory text: Explanatory text that takes the occurrence, development and change of things and the reasons of their mutual relationship as the object of explanation, and makes clear' how' and' why' so that people can know not only why, but also why. ? Simple explanation: it refers to the objective explanation of the appearance, internal structure, function and species relationship of things in plain, concise and clear language. Generally speaking, words are not emotional and subjective, and descriptions are rarely used, let alone rhetorical devices. ? Scientific Essay: It is an essay full of love and words with scientific knowledge as its content and explanation as its main form of expression. Different from other expositions, this kind of expositions is very literary, which is a dual product of science and literature, and contains science in interest. ?

If you master the characteristics of the above types of expositions, you can face them easily. ?

Second, the writing method:

The general requirement of expository writing is to grasp the characteristics and essence of things. Everything has its own unique characteristics and is gradually explained; Secondly, it is often complicated to reflect the order of things themselves. To write its characteristics and essence, it is necessary to understand the order of things themselves and the relationship between parts; Introduce and explain the characteristics and functions of things in sequence; The text should be accurate, popular and simple, and the language of the text should be particularly accurate and thorough. Popularity and simplicity means that readers can better understand what you have written, make what you have written concrete and popular, and thus fly into the homes of ordinary people. ?

In addition to the above general methods, expository writing has its own unique interpretation methods, which is of great benefit to training writing at ordinary times. ?

Definition is to briefly explain the nature and characteristics of an object in the most concise language, so as to achieve the purpose of prompting the essential attributes of things. It has a relatively common format "what is what" or "what is what". The method of definition is generally used in popular science articles. Using this method, readers can have a clear concept of explaining the meaning of things. Will not be confused with other things. If this method is used at the beginning or end of an article, it can play the role of an outline or conclusion. When students use this explanation method, remember not to define it at will, so as not to make people laugh. ?

Classification: it is to divide things into several different parts according to their different characteristics. By using this method, readers can have a general understanding of the explained object and get a glimpse of it. It can also make the clues of the article clear and easy to be accepted by readers.
