(HORTATORY 2 A & 2 B) Use HORTATORY when you want to state of what ought or ought not to happen

THESIS
When we buy a mobile phone, we have to consider some points. Doing so, we will be able to make a a wise decision.
ARGUMENT 1
If we decide to buy a mobile phone, we can start asking ourselves the usefulness of the equipment. We may ask, “Do we want it for our prestige or for its usefulness?”
ARGUMENT 2
After we decide to use a mobile phone, we should make a choice on the type of the mobile phone. With the various choices in the market, we should decide the one that meets our needs. We must know what we need.
ARGUMENT 3
As the consequence of its high operational costs, we have to pay more for a mobile phone compared to a fixed telephone. That is why we have to think carefully before we decide to use it. Therefore, we only use the mobile phone for important talks. It will not be wise if we use it for a chat with a friend.
RECOMMENDATION
With the consequences of the mobile phone, we indeed should give serious considerations before using it. They are:
  1. Ask yourself, “Do I really need it at the moment?”
  2. Buy the mobile phone that suits your budget?
  3. Prioritize the function of the mobile phone for you, rather than its features that may interest you.
  4. Use the mobile phone for important talks

HORTATORY 2b: Do you have any idea, opinion, or proposal for somebody especially one whose position is higher than you, for headmaster, village chief, or the local councel  consisting thesis, arguments and recommendation as exemplified by the letter written by Aryanto below?

Dear Sir,


On behalf of the residents of the city Cilegon,  I would like to express our concern at the unreasonable amount of pollution created by the steel works in our area.

The polution is increasing and causing many problem for the neigbourhood. The sulphur fumes cause breathing difficulties when the wind blows. The aslh from the stack makes the washing dirty. The coal trucks are ruining the road and making sleep impossible for shift workers.

We would like to suggest that an enquiry be held into the running of the steel mills and the impact on the local community.

We hope that you will give this matter serious consideration at your next meeting.

Your Sincerely,

Aryanto
