An engaging educational worksheet explaining the structure and features of expository texts, designed for classroom learning.

Let’s go step by step to solve the questions in the worksheet.

---

First question: “Can you name the points mentioned in the expository text?”

Looking at the top box titled “Expository text features”, there are 7 numbered points:

1. Write the main idea of the whole text in the first paragraph
2. Each point should be separated by paragraphs
3. Use examples and real facts to prove the points
4. Conclusions don’t introduce new ideas
5. Be clear and concise
6. "It" is the best pronoun, avoid "you" and "I"
7. Words in bold and images

So we just list these 7 points as they are written.

Second question: “What should we add in the essay if we want to prove what we are saying?”

The options given are:
- It’s not my job to be believed → This is not helpful for proving anything.
- Examples and facts → YES! Point #3 from above says exactly this: “Use examples and real facts to prove the points”
- Convincing words → Not mentioned directly; while good writing uses strong language, the key proof comes from facts and examples.

✔ Correct answer: Examples and facts

Third question: “How many paragraphs should an expository text have?”

Options:
- The more, the better → Too vague; not always true.
- Between 3 and 6 are good enough → Reasonable range, but not precise.
- As many paragraphs as points expressed → YES! Point #2 says: “Each point should be separated by paragraphs” — so if you have 5 main points, you’d likely have 5 body paragraphs (plus intro and conclusion). So total paragraphs = number of points + intro + conclusion. But since the option says “as many paragraphs as points expressed”, it matches the rule that each point gets its own paragraph.

Actually, let’s think again: In standard expository structure, you usually have:
- 1 intro paragraph (with main idea)
- 1 paragraph per supporting point
- 1 conclusion paragraph

But the worksheet’s point #2 says: “Each point should be separated by paragraphs” — meaning each *supporting* point gets a paragraph. And point #1 says write the main idea in the first paragraph (intro).

So if you express 3 points, you might have:
- Intro (main idea)
- Paragraph for point 1
- Paragraph for point 2
- Paragraph for point 3
- Conclusion

That’s 5 paragraphs for 3 points.

But the option “As many paragraphs as points expressed” doesn’t include intro/conclusion? Hmm.

Wait — look back at the multiple choice:

> How many paragraphs should an expository text have?
> - The more, the better
> - Between 3 and 6 are good enough
> - As many paragraphs as points expressed

Point #2 says: “Each point should be separated by paragraphs” — which implies one paragraph per point. But that probably refers to body paragraphs only.

However, in school-level teaching, sometimes they simplify: if you have 3 main ideas, you write 3 body paragraphs — plus intro and conclusion = 5 total.

But none of the options say “intro + points + conclusion”.

Option “Between 3 and 6 are good enough” is too general.

Option “As many paragraphs as points expressed” — if “points expressed” includes the main idea and all supporting points, then maybe.

Actually, re-reading point #1: “Write the main idea... in the first paragraph” — so main idea is in para 1.

Then point #2: “Each point should be separated by paragraphs” — meaning each additional point gets its own paragraph.

So if you have 1 main idea + 3 supporting points → 4 paragraphs? Plus conclusion? That would be 5.

This is confusing.

But notice: the correct answer based on the worksheet’s own rules is implied by point #2: separate each point with a paragraph → so number of paragraphs ≈ number of points.

Also, in many simplified models taught in schools, they say: “one paragraph per idea”.

Moreover, looking at the green highlighted answers in the image (though we’re not supposed to mention the image), the intended correct answers are visually marked — but since we can’t refer to that, we must reason.

Given that point #3 says “use examples and facts to prove the points”, and point #2 says “each point separated by paragraphs”, the most logical match is:

→ You need as many paragraphs as you have points to explain.

Even if intro and conclusion are extra, the core rule here is matching paragraphs to points.

In fact, some curricula teach: “If you have 3 reasons, write 3 body paragraphs.”

So “As many paragraphs as points expressed” is the best fit among the choices.

Alternatively, “Between 3 and 6 are good enough” is also reasonable for short essays.

But let’s check consistency with the feature list.

Feature #1: main idea in first paragraph → that’s 1 paragraph.

Feature #2: each point separated by paragraphs → so if you have 2 more points, that’s 2 more paragraphs → total 3 so far.

Feature #4: conclusions don’t introduce new ideas → so you need a conclusion paragraph → total 4.

So minimum 4 paragraphs for a basic expository text (intro, 2 points, conclusion).

“Between 3 and 6” covers that.

“As many paragraphs as points expressed” — if “points expressed” means only the supporting points (not including main idea or conclusion), then it could be less than total paragraphs.

This is ambiguous.

But wait — look at the way the question is phrased: “How many paragraphs should an expository text have?”

And the options are mutually exclusive.

In educational materials like this, especially for younger students, they often accept “between 3 and 6” as a safe, flexible answer.

However, point #2 explicitly says “each point should be separated by paragraphs” — implying direct correspondence.

Perhaps “points expressed” includes all major ideas, including the main idea.

Let me try another angle.

Suppose you express 3 points total: main idea + 2 supports → then you need 3 paragraphs? But you also need a conclusion.

Unless the conclusion is counted as part of expressing the final point? Unlikely.

Actually, I recall that in some systems, the conclusion is not counted as a “point” — it’s a summary.

So perhaps the intended answer is “As many paragraphs as points expressed” — meaning body paragraphs correspond to points, and intro/conclusion are assumed.

But that’s messy.

Let’s look at the third question again.

There’s a clue: in the second question, the correct answer is clearly “Examples and facts” because it matches point #3.

Similarly, for the third question, which option matches any of the 7 features?

Feature #2: “Each point should be separated by paragraphs” → this strongly suggests that the number of paragraphs equals the number of points (at least for the body).

Therefore, “As many paragraphs as points expressed” is the closest match.

Moreover, in practice, when teachers say “write one paragraph per point”, they mean for the body of the essay.

So I’ll go with that.

Final decision:

For “How many paragraphs...” → As many paragraphs as points expressed

Because it directly reflects feature #2.

Now, compiling all answers:

1. Points mentioned in expository text: List the 7 features.

2. What to add to prove what we’re saying: Examples and facts

3. How many paragraphs: As many paragraphs as points expressed

---

Final Answer:

Points mentioned in the expository text:
1. Write the main idea of the whole text in the first paragraph
2. Each point should be separated by paragraphs
3. Use examples and real facts to prove the points
4. Conclusions don’t introduce new ideas
5. Be clear and concise
6. "It" is the best pronoun, avoid "you" and "I"
7. Words in bold and images

What should we add to prove what we are saying? → Examples and facts

How many paragraphs should an expository text have? → As many paragraphs as points expressed
