Materi pokok & uraian konsep pembelajaran
Hortatory exposition texts aim to persuade readers or listeners that something should or should not happen or be done. In the context of global climate action, hortatory expositions mobilize communities toward sustainable energy practices, forest preservation, and single-use plastic reduction.
The text is structured into three main stages: Thesis (presenting the underlying ecological issue), Arguments (explicating the environmental, economic, and social justifications for action), and Recommendation (providing concrete actionable policies or behaviors).
Language features characteristic of hortatory writing include strong modal auxiliaries (*should*, *ought to*, *must*), evaluative adjectives, abstract nouns (*sustainability*, *biodiversity*), and imperative sentences urging collective environmental stewardship.
