Text types
are any pieces of writing that you read or create.
These can be anything from novels, newspaper
reports, and textbooks to recipes, movie reviews, and
game instructions. The kinds of words, phrases,
grammatical patterns, writing styles, and structures
you encounter differ. In other words, text types differ
in features and purpose.
In distinguishing text-type features through
enumeration, the writer presents information in a structure
that resembles an outline.
The signals that are often used in the enumeration are:
to begin, with, first, second, in addition, next, then, last,
finally, another, also, most important, etc.
Enumeration is a rhetorical device used for listing
details, and mentioning words or phrases step by step.
Writers use enumeration to clarify a topic and to make it
understandable for the readers.
By using enumeration, you emphasize certain ideas to
elaborate them further.
Example: Observe the proper way of taking a bath.
Then, enumerate the step-by-step process when
taking a bath.
First, you have to run the water to an ideal temperature.
Running water from the faucet will do. Second, do a quick
rinse to wet your skin before applying any soap. Next,
apply shampoo to your hair and a soap or body wash to
your body. Rinse off any soapy residue with a little more
water. Lastly, make sure to towel dry just a bit before
applying any moisturizer to your body.
