Learn about It!

Exemplification is a common and effective way to show or


explain an idea or point (e.g., observation, opinion, belief). In
this pattern of development, the writer explains the main
idea by giving an extended example or a series of detailed
examples.

Colonial Mentality
Learn about It!

Guidelines in Exemplification Writing


1. State first the topic sentence.

Example:
● It has been over a hundred years since the Philippines
was freed from colonization by other countries, but
Filipinos still suffer from colonial mentality. It is
something which many can’t get rid of, and it is and has
been destroying lives since then.
Learn about It!

2. Support the topic sentence with examples.

Example:
● For instance, colonial mentality makes the Filipino people
sick physically, emotionally, and psychologically. For one,
because of the obsession to have fair skin, many want to
undergo skin bleaching, which can become life-
threatening if not done properly. In fact, many have been
reported to have experienced skin burns because of
bleaching.

3. Put a conclusion.

Example:
● You see, the colonial mentality is one practice that
Filipino people should let go of. It will be a long and
tedious process, but surely, it will be worth the effort.

4. Use transition words.

Example:
● For instance, colonial mentality makes the Filipino people
sick physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
● Another consequence of colonial mentality is bullying.
● Lastly, the colonial mentality kills the Filipino people’s
patriotism.

categories according to their common or shared
characteristics.

In writing a classification paragraph, the same guidelines of


writing exemplification paragraphs apply.

Just remember that in a classification paragraph, you provide


the categories and expand on each of them; while in

on the topic sentence.
