SEXI

State - EXplain - Illustrate

SEXI example

State: Reading is one of the most important skills a person can develop.

Explain: It helps people expand their knowledge, improve their vocabulary, and develop critical thinking skills. By reading different types of books, articles, and essays, people are exposed to new ideas and perspectives that can shape the way they think.

Illustrate: For example, a student who reads historical fiction might better understand what life was like in the past, while someone who reads scientific articles can stay informed about the latest discoveries. Without reading, learning new things would be much more difficult, and people would miss out on opportunities to grow.
