8. EXAMPLE
The harpsichord and the piano are closely related. Both are
keyboard instruments and both produce sound when jacks or
hammers attached to key strike metal strings. The piano is a direct
descendant of the harpsichord and takes its shape from that
instrument. In fact, many musical compositions played on one can
be adopted to the other. However, today the piano is the more
popular of the two instruments. It is capable of producing greater
volume and variety of tone, and it is more versatile than its
predecessor. Pianos provide accompaniment for vocalists both
classical and popular, and they are used in every instrumental group
from the small dance band to the grandest symphony orchestra.

9. Cause and Effect

essay by explaining why something happens.

10. Problem - Solution
It divides information into two main sections, one
that describes a problem and one that describes a
solution.
This pattern is typically used in persuasive writing,
where the writer’s general purpose is to convince
the reader to support a certain course of action.
