summary
Expository writing, as its name implies(暗示), is writing that exposes(呈现) facts. In other words, it’s writing that explains and educates its readers, rather than entertaining or attempting to persuade them. When you read a scholarly(学术的) article, a textbook page, a news report, or an instructional(指导的) guide, you’re reading expository writing.
