A. Pengertian Analytical Exposition

Analytical Exposition adalah salah satu bentuk argumentation text. Para pakar bahasa Inggris

elaborates the writer‘s idea about the phenomenon surrounding”. Jika diterjemahkan dalam bahasa
Indonesia yang dimaksud dengan analytical exposition text adalah sebuah teks atau tulisan yang
memaparkan pendapat penulis tentang fenomena yang sedang terjadi di sekitar kita.

E. Contoh Analytical Exposition dan Penjelasannya

GOLD COIN INVESTMENT

1. Gold has become a precious metal to mankind since it was the
dawn of civilization. The nature of gold is soft and malleable
which people can make and easily change to any forms, even it
is done just by a simple technology. The beautiful golden and
shiny color does not easily fade out. The form of gold can be as
jewelry, bar, or coin. Now days gold coin, such as gold IRA,
becomes an advantageous investment.
2. Gold is safe and profitable for investment. In uncertain situations, many people are turning to
gold because gold has a more stable value and regarded as currency without limitation assets. It is
secure and can be cashed out at any time we need. The Gold values tend to be stable; take a look an
IRA gold discussion. It is zero inflation effect. It is very rare that the gold prices fell. Even every
year, the gold price tends to increase.

3. Investments in the form of coins, it is famous as gold coin, is more profitable if it is compared
with the investment gold in the form of jewelry. Gold Coin, for example gold 401k which some
people call 401k gold, is very good when used as an alternative investment, whether it is for the
medium-term investment and long-term investment. Besides that gold coins need less cost in
production and manufacturing sot it is more lucrative than investing gold in the form of jewelry.

4. Moreover, some people do not just think gold as an investment, but also as collections. Because
the character is a collection so the uniqueness and rareness are the point. There might be coins that
cost up to more than a million because of the history variables, ownership, and perhaps an
important event when the coin is launched.

5. From the reason above, if we decide to make an investment, it could be useful to consider
investing gold coin or think about gold IRA transfer. It is really recommended.

Penjelasan:

 Paraghraf Pertama adalah Thesis, dimana penulis memperkenalkan topik yang ingin

dibahasnya, yaitu tentang betapa berharganya dan bernilainya emas. Gambaran tentang emas yang
dapat dibentuk menjadi apa saja sesuai keinginan karena bahannya yang lembut. Namun diakhir
kalimat paragraf pertama, penulis sudah membawa pembaca pada topik utamnya yaitu investasi
emas.

 Pada paragraf kedua yaitu argumen. Namanya juga analytical tentu tujuannya adalah

menganalisa topik dengan dua atau lebih argumen penulis. Pada paragraf ini, argumen pertama
penulis adalah bahwa berinvestasi emas sangat aman dan menguntungkan (save and profitable).
Argumen kedua emas harganya stabil karena dijadikan sebagai mata uang international dan juga
tidak terpengaruh adanya inflasi.

 Paragraf ketiga dan keempat masih berbicara tentang argumen penulis seperti berinvestasi emas
dalam bentuk coin lebih menguntungkan daripada berbentuk perhiasan jadi.

 Terakhir (paragraf kelima) adalah reiteration, yaitu penuangan kembali ide pokok pada
paragraf pertama yaitu bahwa berinvestasi emas itu lebih menguntungkan dan diakhiri dengan
rekomendasi penulis.

Analytical Text 2
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may
cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way
to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil
which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger
ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the
ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and
applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
