Four Different Types of

Writing Styles

Narrative Writing

 Narrative writing is a type of writing in

which the author places himself as a

character, or not, and narrates the story.

 Novels, short stories, poetry and

biographies can all fall into the narrative

writing category.

 Narrative writing often has situations like

disputes, conflicts, action, motivational

events, problems and solutions.

Expository Writing

Expository writing is a subject-oriented

writing style, in which the main focus of

the author is to tell you about a given topic

or subject, and leaves out their opinions.

This is one of the most common types of

writing styles, which you always see in

textbooks and “How To” articles.

Expository writing is usually in a logical

order and sequence.

Persuasive Writing

Persuasive writing, unlike expository writing,

contains the opinions , biasness and

justification of the author.

Persuasive writing is a type of writing which

contains justifications and reasons to make

someone believe in what the author

believes in.

In persuasive writing, the author takes a

stand and asks you to believe their point

of view.

The crew consisted of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. They landed on the moon in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969. The moonwalk took place the following day. On July 21, 1969, at precisely 10:56 EDT, Commander Neil Armstrong emerged from the spacecraft and took his famous first step onto the moon’s surface and declared, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” What a glorious moment in human history!

 Here is the perfect system for cleaning your room. First, move all the stuff that does not have a place to the center of the room. Get rid of at least five things that you have not used in the last year. Take out all the trash and put all the dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. Now find a place for all the items you put in the center of the room. For any remaining items, see if you can squeeze them in under your bed or stuff them in the back of your closet. See, that was easy!
