EXEMPLIFICATION Exemplification is one of the most common and effective ways to show or explain an idea or point. In this pattern of development, the main idea is explained by giving an extended example or a series of detailed example. Many writing assignments in various disciplines require the use of exemplification. Argumentative and exemplification essays, feature articles, reviews, reports, and case studies often use examples to prove a point.
TYPES OF EXEMPLIFICATION • EXAMPLES THAT ILLUSTRATE – use concrete examples to illustrate an idea. • EXAMPLES THAT EXPLAIN – give an explanation to illustrate a concept. • EXAMPLES THAT TELL A STORY – use a short story to illustrate a point. • EXAMPLES THAT DESCRIBE – use examples to help the reader visualize a scene or a thing.
EXEMPLIFICATION • The action of giving examples • Commonly used in academic writing • There are several ways of referring to examples, not just the expression for example or e.g. (although these are the most common) COMMONLY USED ABBREVIATIONS •f.e. / e.g. – for example •i.e. – that is (to say); in other words •viz. – namely; it is/they are •e.g. There are four language skills, viz. listening, speaking, reading and writing.
CRITIQUE Today, men and women of all ages undergo surgery to feel good about themselves. Three of the most popular surgical procedures are liposuction, facelifts, and hair transplants. First liposuction is a quick fix for those who find good diet and exercise ineffective and time consuming. Next, surgical facelifts promise men and women a younger and fresher look. Lastly, hair transplants are now possible, especially for balding men. Thanks to medical advances, men can now avoid the harsh reality of losing their hair by undergoing a long-lasting hair transplant procedure.
CLASSIFICATION Classification refers to sorting or arranging subjects into groups or categories according to their common or shared characteristic. The subjects can be grouped in many different ways depending on your purpose. Classification is commonly done in various disciplines. Classifying historical events by year, popular TV shows by genre, diseases based on mode of transmission, cleaning products based on manufacturer, and animals based on habitat are some examples of topics in different disciplines.
CLASSIFICATION • Dividing something into groups, classes or categories • Classification is normally made according to a criterion or several criteria (e.g. age, size, number...)

CRITIQUE Pollution of air, land, and water affects people’s health. Toxic gases, particulate matter (e.g. smoke, soot, dust), and other hazardous air pollutants can contaminate the air. If breathed, the air causes or exacerbates serious respiratory problems, such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and lung disease. Toxic wastes like chemicals, garbage, pesticides, and heavy metals make the land toxic. If people are exposed to such land, they can develop skin problems, deformities, and certain types of cancer. Chemicals, sewage, fertilizers, and other harmful substances can contaminate primary water sources like the oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and streams. Water from affected sources can cause stomach illness, liver damage, certain types of cancer, and neurological problems in people.
