1. How can you define writing for global communication?

Written communication varies around the globe because it is a part of

culture. Most of the communication customs and etiquette have developed over

time to fit the culture in which they are used. For example, understanding the

business communication of the new culture, a small knowledge of how their

language is structured, and how people properly respond to each other socially in

business situations will help you get your message across in a new culture. This

business may involve many organizations that have internal magazine

publications for employees. Items must be considered when writing such

publications to make them global in scope. When a person from one culture

writes about a culture which they are not familiar with, people from that culture

who read the article often feel like an animal in the zoo. It is important to have a

person consider the location and placement of stories because languages are

written in different directions on paper.

Writing tone and style are also essential in the intercultural business

communications which is dependent on their success. Most countries have a

more formal, traditional tone and writing style than is typical in the United States.

Directness is not valued in most cultures the way it is in the United Stater, and

this direct style may make a positive message be received negatively. When two

different cultures are doing business together, they must be able to read between

the lines. In order to read between the lines, you need knowledge of what proper

business communication is in the other culture. Differences, such as way the

appropriate way to being a U.S. letter, might be a nice gesture for a U.S. person

when writing to a Japanese businessperson. By using phrasing common in the

other culture, you are showing sensitivity to the writing style of the culture.

2. What is expository writing? What is its nature and scope?

Expository writing is the most common type of writing that explains and

analyzes a topic. The word expository is from the word “expose”, which means

“to reveal”. It is true and does not put in own opinions. It is also a nonfiction that

explains and describes a process or present facts, details, and background

information about past events and discoveries. This type of writing is often done

for writing assignments. Book reports, newspaper articles, research papers,

autobiographies and directions are all types of expository writing. Expository

writing is writing for real purposes and real audiences. These compositions must

be expressive and descriptive while also being informative and instructive.

Whether the paragraphs explain a simple procedure or provide detailed

descriptions of people, places, objects or experiences, a writer has to carefully

plan, research, organize, and revise the material before it is published. This type
 of writing is most commonly required in school, yet it is often the most difficult for

students to master. Although beginners cannot expect to be proficient with

expository writing.

Expository writing encompasses a wide range of essay variations such as

the comparison and contrast essay, the cause and effect essay, and the “how to”

or process essay. Because expository essays are based on facts and not

personal feelings, writers don’t reveal their emotions or write in the first person.

An expository essay also can take a form of instruction, a how-to manual or

explanation of a natural or technological process.

3. What are the elements of expository writing?

 Organization

The writer should take time to brainstorm about the topic and main idea.

Next, do research and take notes. Create an outline showing the

information to be presented in each paragraph. Organized in a logical

sequence.

 Topic Sentence, Thesis Statement, and Subtopics

sentence, which states the thesis or main idea of the essay. The thesis

should be clearly stated without giving an opinion or taking a position. A

good thesis is well-defined, with a manageable scope that can be

adequately addressed within a five-paragraph essay.

Each of the 3 body paragraphs should cover a separate point that

develops the essay’s thesis. The sentences of each paragraph should

offer facts and examples in support of the paragraph’s topic. The

concluding paragraph should reinforce the thesis statement and the main

supporting subtopics.

 Transitions

Use transitory words and sentences to make your essay flow

smoothly. Connect sentences with words like: however, for example, or

such as. Connect paragraphs by having the topic sentence refer back to

the preceding paragraph or the thesis statement.

 Evidence and Examples

Draws ideas and examples from a wide range of sources and

consider how they support, challenge or deepen your understanding of the

prompt statement.

 Conclusion

The conclusion should summarize the “big ideas” and angles on these that

you explore in your piece, without introducing any new ideas. It must
 remind the reader of the prompt idea and mentions some of the main

points in the response. No new examples or ideas are introduced.

4. What are the purposes and characteristics of each type of expository writing?

 Process Papers

Characteristic: A process paper explains how to make something, how to

do a specific task, or how something works with the goal of instructing the

reader. It is very detailed like a magnifying glass or microscope.

Sometimes called as “how to” essays.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is giving a context for the individual

steps that follow. Such a clear statement of purpose takes the place of the

thesis in a process paper. This will offer directions address the reader

personally by using the pronoun you.

 Compare-and-Contrast essays

Characteristics: This kind of essay explores the ways two or more things

are the same and the ways they are different. When you compare, you will

write about similarities. When you contrast, you will write about the
 differences. An essay question or prompt might ask you only to compare,

or only to contrast, or to do both.

Purpose: The purpose of a compare-and-contrast essay is to show how

two things are alike or different. Both sides are treated fairly, with equal

amounts of information given for each side. This strategy strengthens

students’ writing skills by providing a simple structure that helps them

organize information and develop their ideas with greater clarity and

precision.

 Cause-and- Effect essays

Characteristics: This essay explains how things affect each other and

depend on each other. The writer identifies a clear relationship between

two subjects, focusing on why things happen (causes) and/or what

happens as a result (effects). It also uses facts to prove that a certain

cause produces a certain effect.

Purpose: It is used to explore possible cause-effect relationships, mostly

as a hypotheses-generating tool. In epidemiology, this type of essay is

used to confirm evidence and demonstrate causality. It is used in other

articles based on the scientific method and experience.

 Definition essays

Characteristics: This essay explains the meaning of a word, term, or

concept. The topic can be a concrete subject such as an animal or tree, or

it can be an abstract term, such as freedom or love. This type of essay

should discuss the word’s denotation (literal or dictionary definition), as

mind.

Purpose: Definition essays clarify and deepen readers’ understanding of a

term- whether the term refers to something concrete or abstract. Effective

descriptive passages offer precise details that help readers thoughtfully

experience the topic through description and sensory details.

 Classification essays

Characteristic: This essay break down a broad subject or idea into

categories and groups. The writer organizes the essay by starting with the

most general category and then defines and gives examples of each

specific classification.

Purpose: This type od essay is of an observational nature to describe and

organize various subjects of interest in categories, scales, and other

groupings for a given purpose. In the field of epidemiology, observational

studies are the closest type of essay.
