What is Informative writing?
● Writing that is designed to inform the reader about the topic

● Sometimes called expository or explanatory writing, uses evidence and information from
credible sources to support a focused and logical explanation of the topic at hand
● When it comes to structure, an informative essay follows the same basic principles as
argumentative writing; the main difference between the two is the purpose
What is persuasive writing?
● Persuasive writing, also known as the argument essay, uses logic and reason to show that
one idea is more legitimate than another
● it attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action
● blends facts and emotion in attempt to convince the reader that the writer is “right” (often relies
heavily on opinion)
What is argument writing?
● Uses logic and evidence to build a case for a specific claim. Science and law use
argumentation
● offers the reader relevant reasons, credible fact, and sufficient evidence to support that the
writer has a valid and worthy perspective
Activity
Determine whether the following paragraph is an informative, persuasive or an argumentative one.

Then write at least 3 sentences as explanation to support your answer.
1. Although I disagree with much that those who oppose animal testing say, I fully endorse
their final conclusion that there are many better alternatives to animal testing. The Food
and Drug Administration has stated that they support the development and use of
alternatives to animal testing. Moreover many scientists have developed methods to test
cosmetics and other personal products that are faster, cheaper and more accurate than
traditional animal testing. In other words there are better alternatives to animal testing and
the FDA agrees. Some readers may challenge the view that animal testing can be done
away with. After all many believed that it is impossible to eliminate the need for animals in
research. Nonetheless , my discussion of alternatives to animal testing is in fact addressing
the larger issue of choice. If we don’t need to use animals, why should we?
1. Smoking is regarded as a fashion symbol in young boys. Despite the ill effects of smoking,
people still continue to smoke. Many young boys, who start smoking, feel that they look
broadminded and liberated if they smoke. Most often, the teenagers adopt this habit just
because of the company they enjoy. Sometimes, they take a puff from their friend’s cigar.
Later on, they develop the habit of smoking as an indispensible part of their lives. With the
passage of time, the followers of this bad habit turn into chain smokers. It must be kept in mind
that smoking is a toxic habit that may develop lungs’ cancer. Moreover, the other toxic
chemicals like arsenic, carbon Monoxide, methane, acetic acid, nicotine, butane and cadmium
present in cigarettes are also highly damaging for health.
2. A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without having breakfast.
Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they don’t have time for that,
and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone should eat breakfast before going to
their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of breakfast, especially for
students.
The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to school is for your health.
When you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking for a disease because it’s not
healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. It’s very important to have a meal and not let
your stomach work empty. All you are going to get is gastritis and a lot of problems with your
health if you don’t eat breakfast.
Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food to do well in your
classes. Your body and your brain are not going to function as good as they could because
you have no energy and no strength. When you try to learn something and have nothing in
your stomach, you are going to have a lot of trouble succeeding. A lot of people think that they
should not eat because they are going to feel tired, but that’s not true. Breakfast is not a very
big meal, and on the contrary, you’re going to feel tired if you don’t have breakfast because
you have spent the entire previous night without food.
