Most texts that are longer than a few sentences are organised in a certain way, otherwise they would not make much sense. text has a different function:

 

Introduction

An introduction is the first part of a text. The function of an introduction is to introduce the topic of the text and to capture the attention of the readers so that they will keep on reading.

 

Body

The body is the main part of the text. It can consist of any number of paragraphs. The body of a text presents the various points of information, ideas or arguments the writer wants to get across.

 

Conclusion

The conclusion can be a summary of the main part of a text. But it can also be an opinion, a recommendation, a prediction, a comment, a call for action or a piece of advice based on the information that was discussed in the body of the text.

Types of books

• Books can be two types: fiction and non-fiction.
• Non-fiction books have just factual information, such as biographies and history books.
• Fictional books are stories that are made up by the author.
• Every book has a type of genre. For example, comedy or horror.
