How many types of articles?

As in my previous article on "how to write a good article?” Now I will try to explain "how many does the kind of article?” Well, each article will be written to have different features and characteristics. This difference is usually dependent on the type of articles to be written, and the writing style of the author's own.

The following are the kinds of articles according to Mulyono is divided into 5 kinds:

1. Descriptive 

According to its title, this article gives new information about a problem that is happening somewhere. This article was made for readers to be aware of new information. Therefore, descriptive article contains no discussion or detail cause of the problem

2. An Explanatory 

This article aims to explain at once to discuss an issue based on multiple viewpoints. Especially the viewpoint of the author alone. This is done to give the reader a better understanding of the details of the problem

3. Persuasive 

The article aims to encourage, suggest, or persuade the reader to do or avoid anything associated with certain problems. The point of this article will help us in addressing a problem

4. Predictive 

As the name suggests, this article contains about the problems at the moment and try to predict what will happen in the future. This article usually also contains suggestions about how to deal with the problem

5. Explorative

This article reveals the facts that exist in the opinion of the author. This article is very suitable to write about the new discoveries, such as the discovery of ancient human fossils in Africa

Based on the description above, the article can be divided based on their contents. Hopefully writing about this can help you in understanding the types of articles.
