One of types of texts is expository writing. In these texts, the purpose of the author is to inform, explain, describe, or define his or her subject to the reader. Expository text is meant to 'expose' information and is the most frequently used type of writing by students in colleges and universities. Some examples are: how-to essay, such as recipes and other instructions; business letters; personal letters; press releases; reports; scientific reports; term papers; textbooks; and wills.
You can see that most clearly in the next text:
HOW TO MAKE A VODKA MARTINI
You'd think it should be very simple: a martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth; a vodka martini is a cocktail made with vodka and vermouth. But do you shake or stir your cocktail? Does it matter? And can a real martini be made with anything except gin as its base? As for particular vodka martini so beloved of James Bond, that's another cocktail altogether and we'll look at the recipe for that later on. Well, firstly, put the bottle of vodka in the fridge for a few hours before making these cocktails. Alternatively leave the bottle in the freezer for a short time.
Vodka Martini:
- 1 ½ shots vodka
- ¾ shot dry vermouth
Place vodka and vermouth in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well. Strain into a martini glass. Serve with an olive.
Cranberry Vodka
- 3 shots vodka
- 5 shots cranberry juice
- ½ shot vermouth
Place the vodka, cranberry juice and vermouth in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well. Pour into martini glasses. Serve with a slice of lime.
Now, the recipe of Agent 007's vodka martini:
Vesper (as specified by Bond in Casino Royale and named after the beautiful double agent)
- 3 measures Gordon's gin
- 1 measure vodka
- ½ measure Kina Lillet (today known as Lillet Blanc)
Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.
