Methods of Developing Exposition in Expository Text: Steps in a Process

Police Officer with the K-9 Unit

1 Dogs and the officers who handle them are carefully trained from the start.

2 Dogs are obtained from the public, preferably between the ages of 6 months and 16

months.

3 They are, in the first instance, kept at the Dog Training Establishment for a period

verifying from one week to three weeks in order to access their health, physique and

working abilities.

4 On completion of this period, if found satisfactory, they are given to a handler, who

takes a five days’ course of instruction.

5 The dog is then taken to the home of the handler to begin a period of familiarization,

which is very important, as it is essential to build trust and understanding between

dog and handler before serious training is undertaken.

 

Test 14

Multiple Response

 

Find the sentences, identifying the analysis of parts or qualities.

Methods of Developing Exposition in Expository Text: Analysis of Parts or Qualities

Qualities of a Good Broadcaster

1 To help broadcasters decide which candidates to hire for a position in radio or

television, the National Association of Broadcasters drew up a list of qualities to

look for in job applicants.

2 The most successful broadcasters have most, if not at all, of these qualities.

3 One important trait is enthusiasm.

4 Another is a sense of public relations, since broadcasters must anticipate the needs

and interests of viewers and listeners.

5 Creativity is also a desired trait; developing entertaining programming amidst fierce

competition requires a lively imagination.

6 A balanced temperament and reliability are two other important qualities that go

hand in hand. The pressures in the field of broadcasting can be very strong, and a

person who can get the job done and work very well with others is very valuable.

7 While cooperation is important, so is initiative, since employees in responsible

positions are expected to monitor their own work schedules and progress.

8 Finally, a good broadcaster has a good business sense. Without the ability to

manage budgets and handle other financial matters, a broadcaster is not likely to rise

very high in the professional ranks.

 

Test 15

Multiple Response

Choose the sentences, identifying the Artificial Intelligence Definition.

Methods of Developing Exposition in Expository Text: Definition

Artificial Intelligence

1 Artificial Intelligence is the study of ideas that enable computers to be intelligent.

2 Note that wanting to make computers to be intelligent is not the same as wanting to

make computers simulate intelligence.

3 Artificial Intelligence seeks to uncover principles that all intelligent information

processors use, not just those made of wet neural tissue (human brains) instead of

dry electronics (computers).

4 Consequently there is neither an obsession within mimicking human intelligence nor

a prejudice against using methods that seem involved in human intelligence.

5 Instead, there is a new point of view that brings along a new methodology and leads

to new theories.
