Informative Essay
An informative essay educates your reader on a topic. They can have one of several functions: to define
a term, compare and contrast something, analyze data, or provide a how-to. They do not, however, present an
opinion or try to persuade your reader
The purpose of an informative essay is to give information on a particular topic. Such essay usually
educates or enlightens people about a topic. This essay neither attempts to argue nor persuade; it simply
presents information, facts, and figures.
The following are the techniques of informative essay:
 Be factual. When writing to inform should avoid biased information wherever possible. This is to make sure
that you are not manipulating the reader’s ideas or viewpoint in any way. You are simply providing them
with the information to form their own viewpoint.
 Be specific. Informative writing provides readers with key information linked to the topic, location, time
period, process and possible reasons why. A simple way to remember this is: what, where, when, how and
why.
 Clear polite and imperative language. The language that you choose to use when writing to inform should
be precise, and where required, imperative. This is language that instructs the reader and is often used in
recipes, directions and other texts used to inform.
Example:
How to Travel Solo Successfully
James Baldwin said it best. “I met a lot of people in Europe. I even encountered myself” (Baldwin, 2014).
Solo travel will not only reveal colorful new heights, it will also introduce you to yourself - your resiliency, your
sense of adventure, your independence. Learning how to travel solo is as intrinsic as tying your shoes, and it is
something that can be learned today.
The first, most obvious, way to travel solo successfully is to research your area. The number one indicator
of a tourist is someone stopped in the middle of the sidewalk scanning the GPS (Global Positioning System) on
their phone. According to World Travel News Report, four in fifteen tourists will be pickpocketed if they stand still
on a busy street (Parker, 2019). Arrive well-informed on the area. Understand the public transportation system
to the point where you can blend in as a local.
Also in line with safety, you may want to splurge on accommodations. You can stay alone in a hostel, but
read the reviews carefully. Make sure it is in a safe area and security is a priority for them. You might even want
to consider a private room, some of which include a private bath.
In terms of fun, pack for your lack of companionship. Bring a blank journal to record your adventures.
Pack a paperback to enjoy while you wait out a rainstorm in a coffee shop. World traveler Samantha Byrnes
says, “I never travel with friends. When I’m exploring a new continent, my journal is my only sidekick” (Byrnes,
2018).
This allows her to absorb her new surroundings, make new acquaintances, and focus on the act of
encountering herself. Byrnes (2018) continues, “We lost sight of ourselves in the day-to-day. We focus on work,
family, to-do lists, chores. Solo travel allows us to return to ourselves so that, when we resume our day-to-day
activities, we can give our all.”
Learning how to travel solo successfully is an achievable feat. You can stay safe if you remain
knowledgeable on the area and choose your accommodations wisely. Beyond that, you can experience true
transformation through the simple act of carrying a tattered old journal. What do you say? Will you explore solo
travel? Choose wisely, for it just might change your life forever.
