Expository Text
Expository writing is a mode of writing in which the purpose
of the author is to inform, explain, describe, or define his or
her subject.
The expository essay is a genre of essay that requires the student to
investigate an idea, evaluate evidence, expound on the idea, and set forth
an argument concerning that idea in a clear and concise manner. This
can be accomplished through comparison and contrast, definition,
example, the analysis of cause and effect, etc.

Expository Text
An expository essay is one which is used to explain
something, in the most simple terms. The word expository
comes from the word expose, and this means to uncover
something so that other people are able to understand it for
what it is. This type of essay is therefore used as a way of
explaining or clarifying the subject for the reader.

Description
The Olympic symbol consists of five interlocking rings.
The rings represent the five continents - Africa, Asia, Europe,
North America and South America - from which athletes come to
compete in the games. The rings are colored black blue, green, red,
and yellow. At least one of these colors is found in the flag of every
country sending athletes to compete in the Olympic games.

Sequence
The Olympic games began as athletic festivals to honor the Greek gods. The
most important festival was held in the valley of Olympia to honor Zeus, the king of the
gods. It was this festival that became the Olympic games in 776 B.C. These games were
ended in A.D. 394 by the Roman Emperor who ruled Greece. No Olympic games were
held for more than 1,500 years. Then the modern
Olympics began in 1896. Almost 300 male athletes competed in the first modern
Olympics in the games held in 1900, female athletes were allowed to compete. The
games have continued every four years since 1896 except during World War II, and they
will most likely continue for many years to come.
17
Comparison
The modern Olympics are very unlike the ancient Olympic games. Individual
events are different. While there were no swimming races in the ancient games, for
example, there were chariot races. There were no female contestants and all athletes
competed in the nude. Of course, the ancient and modern Olympics are also alike in many
ways. Some events, such as the javelin and discus throw, are the same. Some people say
that cheating, professionalism, and nationalism in the modern games are a disgrace to the
Olympic tradition. But according to the ancient Greek writers, there were many cases of
cheating, nationalism, and professionalism in their Olympics too.

18
Cause and Effect
One problem with the modern Olympics is that it has become very big and expensive to
operate. The city or country that hosts the games often loses a lot of money. A stadium, pools, and
playing fields must be built for the athletic events and housing is needed for the athletes who come
from around the world. And all of these facilities are used for only 2 weeks! In 1984, Los Angeles
solved these problems by charging a fee for companies who wanted to be official sponsors of the
games. Companies like McDonald's paid a lot of money to be part of the Olympics. Many buildings
that were already built in the Los Angeles area were also used. The Coliseum where the 1932 games
were held was used again and many colleges and universities in the area became playing and living
sites.
