Example of Hortatory Exposition text:
In all the discussion over the removal of lead from petrol (and the
atmosphere) there doesn't seem to have been any mention of the difference
between driving in the city and the country. While I realize my leaded petrol
car is polluting the air wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel through
the country, where you only see the another car every five to ten minutes, the
problem is not as severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads. Those
who want to penalize older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don't seem
to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back
upon and one's own vehicle is the only way to get about. I feel that the
country people, who often have to travel huge distances to the nearest town and
who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should be treated
differently to the people who live in the city.
