    Transactional texts are meant for direct communication of information, like letters, emails, and invitations. Their goal is to exchange ideas and opinions. Reflective texts examine ideas or events critically through emotions, memories, or thoughts, like novels or essays. While transactional texts use simple language and focus on the exchange, reflective texts use more technical language and aim to present ideas in an acceptable manner, though they may be more difficult to understand.
