LEARNING ACTIVITY

Hello by beloved students,

How are you today? I do hope you are all fine. It’s very nice to meet you again in this
section. In this section, we are going to discuss something different from the previous
lesson.

1 | English Module for XI grade of Accelerated Class

 When reading newspapers, articles from the internet, books, and magazines you
can find writings or articles which are people’s opinion. The texts that you read may be
analytical exposition texts. Can you write that type of text effectively? Learn those and
more in this unit through challenging tasks.
But first of all you need to understand what analytical exposition text by reading
this text.

The Importance of English

I personally think that English is the world’s most important

language. Why do I say that?
Firstly, English is an international language. It is spoken by many
people all around the world, either as a first or second language. Secondly,
English is also the key which opens doors to scientific and technical knowledge,
which is needed for the economic and political development of many countries
in the world. Thirdly, English is a top requirement of those seeking jobs.
Applicants who master either active or passive English are more favorable than
those who do not.
From the fact above, it is obvious that everybody needs to learn
English to greet the global era.

The main purpose of the text is to convince the reader that English is the most
important language in the world. Here the writer states some argument to support the
thesis that English is important language. This writing is called as an analytical
exposition text.
An analytical exposition is a type of spoken or written text that is intended to
persuade the listeners or readers that something is the case. To make the persuasion
stronger, the speaker or writer gives some arguments as the fundamental reasons why
something is the case. This type of text can be found in scientific books, journals,
magazines, newspaper articles, academic speech or lectures, research report etc.
Analytical expositions are popular among science, academic community and educated
people.

2 | English Module for XI grade of Accelerated Class

 The generic structure of analytical exposition usually has three components:
(1) Thesis, (2) Arguments and (3) Reiteration or conclusion.

A. Generic Structure of Analytical Exposition

1. Thesis : Introduces the topic and shows speaker or writer’s position;
Outlines of the arguments are presented.
2. Arguments : It consists about Point and Elaboration
Point, states the main argument
Elaboration, develops and supports each point of argument
3. Conclusion : Reiteration (restatement), restates speaker or writer’s position

B. Generic Features of Analytical Exposition

1. An analytical exposition focuses on generic human and non human participants.
2. It uses mental processes. It is used to state what the writer or speaker thinks or
feels about something. For example: realize, feel etc.
3. It uses emotive and evaluative words
4. It often needs material processes. It is used to state what happens, e.g. ….has
polluted… etc.
5. It usually uses Simple Present Tense and Present Perfect Tense.
6. Enumeration is sometimes necessary to show the list of given arguments: Firstly,
secondly …, Finally, etc.

violence and availability of good and services.
The report ranked Jakarta second, just below lagos in Nageria and above Riyadh
Saudi Arabia, saying the threat of violence from extremest, in particular, was serious
drawback to living in Jakarta. Bombings targeting foreign interests in Jakarta, such as
the JW Marriot hotel bombing in 2003, have been repeated elsewhere in the city.
The report said despite problem common to many developing cities such as the
risk of disease, poor sanitation, and excessive pollution, Indonesia can be an enticing
location.

Corruption and Indonesian Culture

Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in
Indonesia for three reasons.
Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that corruptions
happen in many places. The daily newspapers, news programs on TV and radio have
reported corruptions are done everywhere, almost in all departments or public services
of this country. Corruptions happen in health, education departments and banks. When
we manage to get some documents in public service offices, we usually need much
money to pay. Manipulations happen everywhere.
The actions to eliminate corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems
not to come to an end when the responsible institutions who have to reinforce the
justice today commit corruption. This is the worst. Corruptions happen in police
department, courts where judges, public prosecutors, lawyers make deals to do
corruption. All of us also heard in the end of 2004, Probosutejo reported that he had
bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which becomes the highest level
where the justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to the local courts
and see what happen there. You will see practices of bribery and other kinds of
corruption. Therefore, we can say that corruptions becomes our culture. Do you like it?
The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the corruption. They create the
situations in which people have opportunities to do corruptions. The citizens like to

10 | English Module for XI grade of Accelerated Class

break the rules because they are not disciplined. For example, in the street when they
drive a car or ride motorcycle, they do not have the driving license or necessary
documents. Then, they are caught by the local policemen. To avoid more difficulties,
they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then. In other words, the citizens
and officers are the same, doing corruption together. If only the people were critical,
disciplined, and obey the rules, and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this country
will not be number one corrupting country in the world.
Conclusion Based on the reasons, we can conclude that corruption is becoming
a bad culture in Indonesia if it is not ended soon by all of us. It seems that there must
be more severe penalty for the Corruptors. Do we still care about the future of this
country?

January 5, 2011
Dear Sir,
I am a psychology student. I have the same ideas with you about mental illness
happened to student. However I don’t agree with your statement that it caused by the health
of students only. In my opinion, mental ilness can be caused by the personality of the
students
Firstly, students have inability to concentrate. They may have trouble focusing on one
task for extended period, reading and remembering materials during an exam or an exercise.
Second, they have difficulty in handling time preassure and multiple tasks. Thay may
habe trouble in maging their assignment and setting priorities. They do not know how to
decide which task to do first, or how to complete them by the deadlines.
Third, they have difficulty in interacting with others. They are difficult to talk to other
students, participate in the class or discuss the assignment. It means they are difficult to
make friends.
It can be conclude that mental illness can also be caused by the personality of the
students in facing their school activities.

Your Sincerely,
Annisah Hapsari

Into the Mouth of Babes

We are writing to you because we are concerned about the way food is being
advertised to children.
What we eat now affects our health in years to come. Bad dietary habits start
while we are very young. For this reason, your goverment supports health education
that encourages a balanced healthy diet. Australians are encouraged to get the bulk of
their nutrients from fresh fruits, vegetables, and wholegrain cereals, a lesser amount
from foods high in fat, salt and sugar.
TV advertising to children presents a completely different message. Nearly 80 %
of food pushes fatty snacks or sweets-the very foods that should be eaten least. To
make matter worse, these ads take up much of the advertising time. This must be
stopped.

15 | English Module for XI grade of Accelerated Class

 TV advertising is powerful and influential. Parents, however strong-will, find it
hard to resist pressures created by this advertising. Children are least able to
understand the tricks of the advertising industry.
The hours when children are the main audience, TV advertising of foods must be
made to reinforce, not undermine, the message about a ballanced diet. We appeal to
you, as Prime Minister, to take the lead in calling together the advertisers, TV
networks, consumers and public health bodies to decide how this is to be done.
Yours sincerely,

In Australia there are ‘three levels of government, the federal government,

state government and local government. All of these levels of government are
necessary. This is so for a number of reasons.
First, the federal government is necessary for the big things. They keep the
economy in order and look after things like defense.
Similarly, the state governments look after the middle sized thing. For
example they look after law and order, preventing things like vandalism in schools.
Finally, local governments look after the small things. They look after things
like collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have diseases.
Thus, for the reasons above we can conclude that the three levels of
government are necessary
