 EXEMPLIFICATION

Exemplification is one of the most common and

effective ways to show or explain an idea or point.
In this pattern of development, the main idea is
explained by giving an extended example or a series of
detailed example.
Many writing assignments in various disciplines
require the use of exemplification. Argumentative and
exemplification essays, feature articles, reviews, reports,
and case studies often use examples to prove a point.
TYPES OF EXEMPLIFICATION

• EXAMPLES THAT ILLUSTRATE – use concrete

examples to illustrate an idea.
• EXAMPLES THAT EXPLAIN – give an explanation to
illustrate a concept.
• EXAMPLES THAT TELL A STORY – use a short story
to illustrate a point.
• EXAMPLES THAT DESCRIBE – use examples to help
the reader visualize a scene or a thing.
 EXEMPLIFICATION
• The action of giving examples
• Commonly used in academic writing
• There are several ways of referring to examples, not just
the expression for example or e.g. (although these are
the most common)
COMMONLY USED ABBREVIATIONS
•f.e. / e.g. – for example
•i.e. – that is (to say); in other words
•viz. – namely; it is/they are
•e.g. There are four language skills, viz. listening, speaking,
reading and writing.
 CRITIQUE

Today, men and women of all ages undergo surgery to

feel good about themselves. Three of the most popular
surgical procedures are liposuction, facelifts, and hair
transplants. First liposuction is a quick fix for those who find
good diet and exercise ineffective and time consuming. Next,
surgical facelifts promise men and women a younger and
fresher look. Lastly, hair transplants are now possible,
especially for balding men. Thanks to medical advances, men
can now avoid the harsh reality of losing their hair by
undergoing a long-lasting hair transplant procedure.
 CLASSIFICATION

Classification refers to sorting or arranging subjects

into groups or categories according to their common or
shared characteristic. The subjects can be grouped in
many different ways depending on your purpose.
Classification is commonly done in various
disciplines. Classifying historical events by year, popular
TV shows by genre, diseases based on mode of
transmission, cleaning products based on manufacturer,
and animals based on habitat are some examples of
topics in different disciplines.
 CLASSIFICATION

• Dividing something into groups, classes or categories

• Classification is normally made according to a criterion
or several criteria (e.g. age, size, number...)

AND CLASSIFICATION
You can use both exemplification and classification
in developing a paragraph. You can begin by classifying
some ideas and then explain each idea by giving
examples.
 CRITIQUE

Pollution of air, land, and water affects people’s health. Toxic

gases, particulate matter (e.g. smoke, soot, dust), and other
hazardous air pollutants can contaminate the air. If breathed, the air
causes or exacerbates serious respiratory problems, such as
asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and lung disease. Toxic wastes like
chemicals, garbage, pesticides, and heavy metals make the land
toxic. If people are exposed to such land, they can develop skin
problems, deformities, and certain types of cancer. Chemicals,
sewage, fertilizers, and other harmful substances can contaminate
primary water sources like the oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and
streams. Water from affected sources can cause stomach illness,
liver damage, certain types of cancer, and neurological problems in
people.
