The purpose of an expository text is to give information about a specific topic. It is not storytelling, but a straightforward discussion of a topic. The author of an expository text cannot assume that the reader has prior knowledge of the topic; therefore, the writer must use plain language and an easy-to-follow structure.

main idea
What's the main idea of Para. 2
In the 16th century, the nearby country of Wales was joined to the Kingdom of Enqland. Later, in the 18th century, the country Scotland was joined to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. In the 19th century, the Kingdom of lreland was added to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and lreland. Finally, in the 20th century, the southern part of lreland broke away from the UK, which resulted in the full name we have today: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Most people just use the shortened name:"the United Kingdom" or "the UK". People from the UK are called "British"which means the UK is also often referred to as Britain or Great Britain.

What's the main idea of Para. 4
The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history to explore, which can help you understand much more about the country and its traditions. Almost everywhere you go in the UK, you will be surrounded by evidence of four different groups of people who took over at different times throughout history. The first group, the Romans, came in the first century. Some of their great achievements included building towns and roads, Next, the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the fifth century. They introduced the beginnings of the Enqlish lanauage, and changed the way people built houses. The Vikings came in the eighth century,left behind lots of new vocabulary, and also the names of many locations across the UK. The last group were the Normans. They conquered England after the well-known Battle of Hastings in the 11th century. They had castles built all around England, and made changes to the legal system, The Normans were French, so many French words slowly entered into the English lanquage.
It helps understand the UK and its traditions better by exploring the history which was greatly influenced by four groups of people.

What does the author want to tell us in Para. 3 and Para. 5


The four countries that belong to the United Kingdom work together in some areas. They use the same flag, known as the Union Jack, as well as share the same currency and military defence. However, they also have some differences. For example, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have different education systems and Legal systems. They also have their own traditions, like their own national days and national dishes.And they even have their own football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
Para. 3
The four countries work together in some areas but keep different in some other areas.

Since Para. 3 doesn't mention “history”, is it necessary in the text Can we delete it
Although it doesn't mention any information about the history, it manages to show the work of “history”. In other words, the way the four countries work now is the result of the history. It's the history that shapes what it is now. Besides, it also helps solve the puzzle mentioned in Para.1.
