C. Analytical Exposition
The Importance of Rainforests

3. Rainforests are one of the most complicated environments on Earth. They are recognised
worldwide as containing the richest source of plants and animals and are believed to contain nearly
three-quarters of all varieties of life on Earth. This is remarkable because rainforests cover only about
six percent of the earth’s land surface.
Rainforests are the oldest major ecosystem, having survivied climate changes for more than one
million years. They provide habitats for more species of plants, animals, insects and birds than any other
environment found on our planet. Scientists estimate that between 60 and 90 percent of all species of
life are to be found in rainforests. Unfortunately, the widespread destruction of many of the world’s
rainforests has caused a significant decline in the number of plant and animal species on Earth.
Rainforests are also able to absorb over 90 percent of the rainfall in their leaves and mosses. By
doing this, they are able to slow down water run-off by gradually releasing the water over time into
streams and rivers. This helps to control soil erosion and flooding.
1. Answer these questions carefully.
a. Why is the rainforests called as the oldest major ecosystem?
b.
What can rainforests do in absorbing the rainfall?
c. How many percent species that can be found in rainforests?
The Importance of Libraries
I personally believe that libraries are among humanity’s most important institutions for several
reasons. Firstly, most of humanity’s collective knowledge is stored in llibraries. Second, libraries protect and
preserve this knowledge. They also classify or group the material into logical and easily availabe divisions.
Furthermore, libraries make the material available to everyone and even provide librarians to help us find
what we need. Finally, libraries are our link to the past and our gift to the future. From the fact above, i
conclude that libraries are important institutions for humanity.
2. Identify the paragraph’s structure of Analytical Exposition from the text.

=
b. Arguments (write all)

c. Reiteration
