Exercise 3

Read the following paragraphs and identify whether they are descriptive, narrative,

expository, or persuasive.

   1. "A balanced diet is essential for maintaining good health. It provides the body with the

      necessary nutrients, vitamins, and minerals needed to function properly. By eating a

      variety of foods, you can ensure that your body gets everything it needs to stay

      healthy."

   2. "Teachers should reduce the amount of homework assigned to students. Excessive

      homework can lead to burnout and reduce students' interest in learning. Moreover,

      students need time after school to relax, pursue hobbies, and spend time with their

      families."

   3. "The park was serene and peaceful, with tall trees providing shade and a gentle breeze

      rustling the leaves. Birds chirped melodiously as they flitted from branch to branch."

   4. "Yesterday, I went to the Zoo with my family. We saw lions, giraffes, and elephants,

      and even got to feed the giraffes. It was an exciting and memorable day for all of us."
