6 0

The people in Africa, sub-Saharan Africa more specifically, did not had their own written languages throughout their history. This meant that they were not able to preserve their cultural heritage in a written way, and that of course can be a problem on the long term. In order to preserve their culture, the African people used the oral way of keeping the traditions alive, mostly by telling stories to the younger ones, thus it was continuing from one generation to other. Also, the music and the dances where crucial for the preservation of their culture, by being able to see and hear the sounds and dances of their ancestors, they were able to easily accept and be interested in their culture, thus learn it, and continue to keep it alive.

Answer: Argumentative essays, as the name implies, is an essay in which you argue for something. Questions are often based on a selected issue like: “Is science important in our lives”, to which you will have a thesis and anti-thesis statement, supported with facts and reasoning. Most academic essays are in this format as well. Expository on the other hand is more like creative writing. As the name implies, you are trying to expose or express something. This can be a short narrative story to a question like : “What was your best birthday ever?” or a mock letter to the question of : “You bought something online and noticed that the product was damaged. Write a letter to the manager to seek for an exchange or refund.”
