**Expository Genre** When you write about the work of others you are making an analytical, critical or evaluative response. Such writing is another form of analytical exposition that allows the writer to communicate an opinion to readers. To do this effectively, you need to read carefully the work under review, remember the content, understand what you have read, and be able to appreciate the qualities of the writing. Avoid making broad generalisations about these works and be sure to make appropriate use of quotation or illustration to support your analysis, criticism or evaluation. Make sure that you address the topic/question specifically, this should be the basis of all of your points/arguments.

It is important to analyse the question to be answered and to ensure that all aspects are covered in the answer. Introduce the topic directly in the opening paragraph. As with argumentative and persuasive writing, avoid introductions in the form of 'I am going to...', let your ideas speak for themselves. This paragraph should indicate what will be discussed subsequently. Be sure that the topic is then kept in mind throughout the body of the essay. The conclusion should sum up and refer back to the topic.
 * Generic Structure**

The style of writing is formal, as with argumentative and persuasive writing. Colloquial language and contracted words are not appropriate.
 * Style**

These are articles of interest that do not have a newsworthiness that requires them to be used immediately. Feature articles can be classified as an expository genre rather than report genre, for (unlike news reports) they usually contain analysis and explanation of events and issues.
