1 – The essay-argumentative text:
In this type, controversial issues are usually explored through the point of view of the writer, however, it is only necessary to write in 3rd person, what does this mean? We must never put expressions like “in my opinion”, “I think”, or any other expression that refers to the one who writes. Therefore, forms that refer to 'he (s)' should be used, so that the 'I' distances itself from the text, giving more credibility to the selected arguments.
This text should basically present: an introduction with the thesis that will be explored according to the proposed theme; the development with the exploration of the arguments to support the presented thesis; and, finally, a conclusion, in which it is necessary to present an intervention proposal to the theme.
Within this textual type we have some examples of textual genres, they are: journalistic articles, review, scientific articles, monographs, master's and doctoral dissertations and the famous essay of the ENEM.
2 – The descriptive text:
In this textual type, facts, objects, places and characters involved are described. Usually, these texts end up having too many adjectives, since they are exposing things and people. Unlike the essay text, it is possible to prepare a text of this type describing something or someone in third person or talking about yourself in the first person.
