         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Topic:Apple behavior during covid-19.</strong></p><p>We chose the expository essay type because it allows us to focus on presenting and explaining information clearly. In our essay, we examined Apple’s behavior during the COVID-19 crisis by describing how the company transitioned employees to online work, closed international stores, and expanded digital services to new countries. The goal was not to argue that Apple’s actions were right or wrong but to provide a clear explanation of what the company did during this difficult period.</p><p>The organization, purpose, and thesis of this essay differ from other types. An expository essay follows a logical order: introduction, explanation of facts, and conclusion. Its purpose is to inform the reader with accurate and objective details. The thesis is neutral and descriptive. In contrast, an argumentative essay tries to convince the reader of a certain position, often using counterarguments and persuasion, while a narrative essay focuses on storytelling.</p><p>Expository essays are valuable in practical contexts, such as academic papers, workplace reports, or research projects, where the primary objective is to provide a detailed and accurate account of events, procedures, or data.</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Topic: Almaty-the cultural and natural capital of Kazakhstan&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>Of all the 4 main types of essays, we chose the descriptive essay because it seemed the most suitable for a group assignment. For an argumentative essay, you need to conduct a deeper research on the topic and provide a general opinion about it. Since we had a time limit (20-25 minutes), we wouldn't have had enough time to complete the assignment, and since there were three of us, it would have been difficult to reach a consensus on the topic. In an expository essay, you need to write the text in a more objective manner and rely solely on logic. We also wanted to describe the topic using our impressions and feelings. We didn't choose narrative essay because it needs a plot, characters, and choronology. It was difficult for us to choose a specific situation for the three participants in order to describe it in this way. We chose descriptive essay to create a certain picture in the reader's head while using our observations and sensory details, as well as we had more freedom when writing, unlike other types. One of the main advantages of this essay for us is flexibility and detail. Since Almaty City Day is being celebrated now, this topic is the most relevant. This essay can be used for cases such as: 1) articles in magazines/internet/newspapers, 2) for tourism purposes to introduce tourists to the city, 3) for educational purposes to learn the history and general information about Almaty. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>When choosing the type of essay, we opted for an explanatory essay, as this type appealed to us with its logical structure and how we can clearly and consistently cover the topic. </p><p>Compared to an argumentative essay, which tries to lead the reader to a single conclusion, an explanatory essay simply analyzes and explains facts. An argumentative essay is structured to include both pros and cons, counterarguments, and more. A descriptive essay has a less rigid structure, focusing on describing something, while a narrative essay tells a story from a single perspective, with elements such as a beginning, middle, and end. For example, our thesis directly shows the main goal of an explanatory essay is to show the situation from different angles and organize the main elements. </p><p>In real life, an explanatory type of essay can often be used for educational purposes, or when writing various reports and presentations, where it is necessary to convey objective information to the readers.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>(Blossom and Madina)</p><p>We sticked to write an expository essay, the topic is " How exercise boost mental health". <br><br>Life is full of stress, anxiety and overload. Yet one of the most effective mental helath boosters is exercising. Several researches we went through shows that people who exercise regularly have better mental health and emotional wellbeing, and lower rates of&nbsp;mental illness. <br><br>When you exercise , your body<br>reduces the production of stress hormones<br>like cortisol and andrenaline. At the same<br>time it increases endorphin, which is a<br>chemical that make you feel relaxed and<br>happy. Which means that in some cases physical movements reduces the risk of developing mental illness. It could help in treating some mental health conditions, like&nbsp;depression&nbsp;and&nbsp;anxiety. For example, for mild-moderate depression, research suggests physical activity can be as effective as antidepressants or psychological treatments like&nbsp;cognitive behavioural therapy. Exercise can also a valuable addition to other treatment options. <br><br>Individuals who went through this method of reabilitation state that it boosts self confidence and cognitive function. Achieving small fitness goal, like running longer or lifting heavier weights, builds a self of accomplishment. Physically better posture and more energy improves self-esteeem. For instance, students who exercise regularly reports better concentration and higher focus. <br><br>Overall, exercise is not only a tool for physical health but also a powerful way to improve mental well being by reducing stress and anxiety, lifts moods and build self confidence Incorporating regular movement into your routine is one of the simplest ways, most efective ways to care for both body and mind.<br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Topic: Memorable gift </p><p>We decided to choose to write a descriptive type of an essay because it lets us share a personal and emotional memory in a storytelling way, not just giving facts or arguments. This let us bring this memory to life. We are telling about how the gift made the character (one of us) feel and why it's still important to her. Writing about the necklace is meaningful because it carries memories and love from a family member.</p><p>Descriptive essay is organized differently from other types.&nbsp; Instead of proving a point with evidence or explaining a process, here we paint a picture with words. The thesis statement is more personal, showing feelings rather than logic or research. This writing is really useful in personal statements and even in speeches.</p>]]></description>
