Writing techniques Exemplification: The word exemplification is derived from example, and a paragraph of exemplification uses examples, a kind of factual evidence, to support the point made in the topic sentence. Besides reasoning, exemplification is another approach widely used by writers to support themselves. Remember, facts speak louder than words. If we can find actual facts to support our ideas, readers will most probably believe in what we want to say. To give students a better idea of what can be used to support the point in the topic sentence, the following techniques can be used. Some reading and writing researchers classify supporting evidence into the following seven types: √ Statistics √ Expert testimony √ Examples √ Personal experience √ Shared knowledge √ Logic and reasoning √ Analogy The first four types are factual evidence, and the last three are nonfactual evidence. In English writing, these factual evidence are believed to provide stronger support than the nonfactual ones, so sometimes they are also referred to as hard evidence and soft evidence respectively. Of course, this does not mean that the first group is good evidence, and second group bad. In fact a bination of both is a better choice. Students may not be forced to use hard evidence, but they should know that hard evidence, esp. examples, will help to improve the power of their writing. C. Assignment 1.
