Pengertian, Structure, Ciri Explanation Text dan Contohnya

A. Pengertian Explanation Text

Sebelum mulai membahas tentang generic structure dan ciri-ciri explanation text dan contohnya, saya akan mulai dulu dengan definisi dari explanation text dalam bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia.

 

Explanation is a text which tells processes relating to forming of natural, social, scientific and cultural phenomena.

Explanation adalah sebuah teks yang berisi tentang proses-proses yang berhubungan dengan fenomena-fenomena alam, sosial, ilmu pengetahuan, budaya dan lainnya.

B. Tujuan Explanation Text

To explain the processes involved in the formation or working of natural or socio-cultural phenomena.
Tujuan komunikatif dari explanation text adalah untuk menerangkan proses-proses yang terjadi dalam pembentukan sesuatu yang terkait dengan fenomena-fenomena alam, sosial, ilmu pengetahuan, budaya, dan lainnya yang bertujuan menjelaskan bagaimana atau mengapa hal tersebut bisa terjadi.

C. Generic Structure Explanation Text

1. General statement
   tentang penjelasan umum tentang fenomena yang akan dibahas, bisa berupa pengenalan fenomena tersebut atau penjelasannya.
2. Squenced of explanation
   berisi tentang penjelasan proses mengapa fenomena tersebut bisa terjadi atau tercipta. A squenced of explanation berupa jawaban dari pertanyaan ‘why’ dan ‘how’ penulis ketika membuat sebuah Explanation text. Dalam squenced of explanation bisa terdiri lebih dari satu paragrap.
3. Closing
   Sebenarnya closing itu tidak tercantum dalam generic structure dari Explanation text, tetapi kebanyakan orang beranggapan bahwa paragrap terakhir dari sebuah Explanation text adalah closing, padahal itu merupakan bagian dari squenced of explantaion yang berisi tentang langkah akhir yang dijelaskan pada bagian squenced of explanation.

D. Ciri-ciri Explanation Text

1. Sebuah Explanation text biasanya berasal dari pertanyaan penulis terkait ‘why’ dan ‘how’ terhadap suatu fenomena yang ada.
2. Karena yang diangkat adalah fenomena maka fokus materinya bukan pada bendanya atau orangnya, melainkan pada kejadian atau peristiwa yang terjadi pada orang atau benda tersebut.
3. Menggunakan Simple Present tense.

E. Contoh Explanation Text dan Penjelasannya

Contoh 1:How Earthquakes Happen

Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it often happens in several regions. Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West Sumatra. It has brought great damages. Why did it occur? Do you know how an earthquake happens?

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves. It make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don’t just slide smoothly. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that’s built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.

During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake.

Penjelasan:

• Paragraf Pertama adalah tentang General Statement (pernyataan umum). Melihat dari teks tersebut tentu GSnya adalah an Earthquake happening.
• Paragraf kedua: Squenced of explanation adalah penjelasan tentang bagaimana Earthquake bisa terjadi. Gempa bumi bisa terjadi pada dasarnya adalah karena “rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault”. Penjelasan lainnya adalah tentang kronologi how rock underground breaks along a fault.
• Paragraf ketiga: closing yang menerangkan bahwa pergeseran lempeng bumi terus terjadi dan menerangkan bahwa titik di bawah bumi dimana batu mengalami patahan (where the rock breaks) disebut sebagai Focus of the eartquake dan tempat di atas titik tersebut disebut epicenter of earthquake.

Demikianlah Pengertian, Structure, Ciri Explanation Text dan Contohnya. Semoga bermanfaat. Jika kamu suka penjelasan tentang Explanation Text ini, mohon sumbangan like, twit atau meninggalkan komentar di bawah ini. Terima kasih.

Arguments	While I realise my leaded petrol car is polluting the air wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel through the country,where you only see 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 penalise older , leaded petrol vehicles and their owners donn’t seem to appreciate thet in the country there is no public transport to fall back upon and ones own vehicle is the only way to get about.
Recomendation	I feel that 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

Example of Hortatory Exposition

1. Watch your Kids While Watching TV

Television becomes one of the most important devices which takes place in almost houses. It can unite all members of the family as well as separate them. However, is it important to know what your kids are watching? The answer is, of course, absolutely “Yes” and that should be done by all parents. Television can expose things you have tried to protect the children from, especially violence, pornography, consumerism and so on.

Recently, a study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day or at bedtime often cause bed-time disruption, stress, and short sleep duration.

Another research found that there is a significant relationship between the amount of time spent for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of being aggressive.

Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and being inactive and overweight.

Considering some facts mentioning above, protect your children with the following tips:

• Limit television viewing to one-two hours each day
• Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their own bedrooms
• Review the rating of TV shows which your children watch
• Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening in the show

Notes on the Generic Structure of this Hortatory Exposition example

Firstly, we have to always remember that the social function of hortatory exposition text is driving the readers to act like the writer thought as stated in the text. Then the purpose of this hortatory is influencing and persuading the readers by presenting the supporting arguments. In many social activities, hortatory is applied for writing recommended thought, sales letter, advertising, speech campaign, and news advertorial.

Thesis: The writer’s thought is presented as thesis which is proven with several arguments. In the first paragraph, the writer points his thought about the importance of accompanying children while they are watching TV show. It is important to protect the children from the bad influences of TV show.

Arguments: The next paragraphs show the writer arguments in supporting his thesis. It is supported by various researches that there are a great relationship between watching TV and the watcher’s personality. One study describes that much time in watching TV can cause bed-time disruption. The others show the possibility of becoming an aggressive character because of watching television too much.

Recommendation: After stating the thesis and proving with various arguments, the text is completed with the writer’s recommendation on how the parents should protect the children from the bed effect of watching TV.

Basically, both hortatory and analytical exposition have the similar position. Both take place as argumentative essays. Both show how important idea of the writer to be known. However the last paragraph of the essay usually make the difference from hortatory and analytical exposition. If it is a hortatory text, it will be ended with a strong recommendation while for analytical exposition, it will be closed with restatement of the writer’s first paragraph.

1. More Dust Bins is Cleaner; example of hortatory

To improve comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be an increasing number of dust bins.

When we look at classroom, school corridors and schoolyard, there papers, mineral water cops, straws, and napkin everywhere. The condition of unseemliness really hinders learning and teaching environment. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for mosquito to spread out.

Anyway I notice that most of the students have responsibilities for their school environment. They put their litter on the proper place but some of them are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of the dust bins in the school are not enough. More dust bins should be put beside each step, outside of the classrooms and some along of the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.

When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not have problem of discomfort any more. So provide more dust bins and school will be very clean and become a very nice place to study.

1. Where should be after High School?; a hortatory text

The National examination result will be publicly enounced in next short time. Euphoria will flood for those who get success. In the other hand, It will be sorry to hear that there are some of them do not succeed in their national final examination. For those who succeed soon will think to decide; where will they be after graduating high school? Actually it will be easy to decide for those has been arranged and thought earlier but for those have not planed yet, it will be quite confusing.

Continuing study or looking for work is the primary choice among them. When they think about continuing study, they will think hard about the time and cost. How long the higher study will last? And how high is about the cost. In the same way, when they think about straightly seeking job, what skill and competence they have got is a big matter of questioning. So, doing both choices in the same time is an alternative.

Continuing study as well as seeking job is possibly done but it will be hard for them. Conventionally studying in the university needs much time to spend especially in the first year. It is true because they have to do and adapt a lot of things in their new higher school. it will be very hard to looking for job. Therefore it should come to their mind of continuing studying at higher school from their own home. As result, the available time will be more flexible for them. Then it will be very possible to seek job and get the appropriate one. This type of studying is publicly known as distance learning.

As the alternative method of studying, besides the conventional studying which students and the lecturer have to meet in the fixed time and place regularly, distance learning provides possibility to grow better. Possibly working and studying surely will create high quality graduate. Distance learning should appear as a considerable choice for them.

Example Of Spoof Text, Definition, Generic Stucture, And Purpose

Spoof text is a kind of text that that is the most enjoyable to learn. Why? Because with this one, at least the students who always frown when learning English can be cured. Try to ask your friends, is there your friends who “hated” English lessons? I’m very very very sure “there is”. However, with this spoof text, hopefully all of their hatred could be turned into love.

Spoof text is one type of English text that telling a funny story. Who would not smile if there are things that funny? That is stressful man huh? If the narrative text tend to tell a story with a variety of problems to be solved, and if the recount text more inclined to tell that person’s activities in a particular time sequence, spoof text is different from the two text, so what is?

Definition

Mentioned in the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary Online (wow), there are two meanings of spoof text. First, as a noun, the meaning is, “a funny and silly piece of writing, music, theater, etc.. That copies the style of an original work”. Being second, spoof as a verb, meaning, “to try to make someone believe in something is not true, as a joke.”  Spoof of the second meaning above, it can be concluded that the definition of spoof text is a text that contains humor though most of the text has been modified from the original.

Language Characteristiccs

There are several linguistic characteristics that can distinguish Spoof Text with English Text types (Types of Text) the other, there are :

1. Using the Past Tense; was, were, did, etc.

2. Using action verbs (action verb), did, went, walked, etc.

3. Using adverb of time and place adverbs.

4. Told chronologically.

The Generic Structure

Generic Structure (general arrangement) in a spoof text are :
» Orientation, provides an introduction to the characters, setting, settings etc..
» Events, provides even or events
» Twist, ending the story (the ending is considered funny, sometimes unexpected)

A description of the orientation and the event is oftenly discussed, especially on the subject narrative text and recount text. In any spoof text, orientation and the event was not much different from the one in the narrative and recount.

Looking for a twist, for those not used to writing a humorous story may be very difficult to understand the twist was hard enough, let alone making up their own …

Yes, to understand the twist, we need a sense of humor until we are able to digest what’s behind the humor contained in this twist. Because usually very difficult to predict, “what’s the punchline?” Let’s see the examples :

Absence

Joe’s Mother got angry because her son got a low mark on English test.

“Why did you get such a low mark on that test?” Asked mother angrily. Asked by his angry mother, Joe just kept silent and went out.

A few moment, Joe came back home and met his mother again. His mother asked the same question.

Joe answered steadily, “Because of absence.”

“You mean you were absent on the day of the test?” Mother wondered.

Joe replied, “No, but the kid who sits next to me was.”

So thats all..  I hope you can understand, what the orientation, events, till the twist. Finally, have a good study and good bye.

Pengertian, Generic Structure, Ciri Spoof Text dan Contohnya

A. Pengertian Spoof Text dan Contohnya

Para pakar bahasa Inggris mendefinisikan Spoof Text sebagai:

 

Spoof is a text which tells a factual story, happened in the past time with unpredictable and funny ending.

Spoof text adalah sebuah teks yang menceritakan sebuah cerita yang terjadi pada masa lalu dengan akhir cerita yang lucu yang tidak dapat diprediksi atau diperkirakan. Jadi biasanya berisi anekdot, permainan kata yang lucu atau bisa jadi gabungan kedua-duanya.

B. Perbedaan Spoof dan Narrative Text

Kedua genre ini, Spoof Text dan Narrative Text memiliki kesamaan dalam hal berisi kejadian yang terjadi pada masa lampau dan bertujuan untuk menghibur pembaca. Namun ada perbedaan mendasar di antara keduanya. Narrative text bertujuan menghibur pembaca dengan harapan pembaca dapat mengambil hikmah di balik cerita tersebut. Sementara Spoof memang bertujuan menghibur pembaca (entertaining readers) tapi lebih menekankan pada kelucuan cerita daripada pengambilan hikmahnya. Dan letak kelucuan ceritanya akan dijumpai pada akhir cerita. Jadi kata kunci untuk Spoof text adalah LUCU, jika tidak lucu maka bukan spoof text.

C. Tujuan Spoof Text

Dilihat dari pengertiannya, kita bisa mengambil kesimpulan sendiri bahwa tujuan komunikatif spoof text adalah untuk menceritakan sebuah cerita fiktif dengan gaya humor.

D. Generic Structure Spoof Text

Susunan umum Spoof text punya ciri tersendiri, dan ini juga yang membedakannya dengan Narrative text. Berikut generic structure pada spoof text:

1. Orientation: berisi pengenalan tokoh, latar, setting dll.
2. Events: berisi peristiwa atau kejadian.
3. Twist: ending cerita (akhir cerita yang dianggap lucu, kadang tidak terduga, dan biasanya plintiran atau plesetan)

E. Ciri-ciri Spoof Text

1. Biasanya menceritakan kejadian yang dialami seseorang: I, we, she, he, they etc.
2. Tenses yang digunakan adalah Past Tense.
3. Untuk menceritakan detail cerita, biasanya terdapat dialog sehingga pasti ada tanda: “…text dialog…”

F. Contoh Spoof Text dan Penjelasannya

Contoh 1: Sum Ting Wong.
Jacky Wong got married with Lia Wong. Both of them had a white skin and straight hair. They are really a well-matched couple.
One year later, Wong family got a new baby. A nurse brought them a son with curly hair and a black skin.
The nurse congratulated and said, “What name will you give to this son?”
With a confused face, Jacky Wong grumbled, “Sum Ting Wong!”

Penjelasan:

• Teks di atas tergolong Spoof karena dilihat dari sisi bahasa menggunakan past tense. Tapi itu belum cukup karena narrative juga menggunakan past tense.
• Orientation: paragraf (1) mengenalkan pelaku dan gambarannya. Narrative juga terdapat paragraf orientation.
• Event: pada paragraf (2). Dalam text Narrative, bisa saja event sama dengan complication.
• Teks tersebut juga menggunakan kalimat dialog. Tapi narrative pun begitu juga.
• Yang membedakan adalah adanya sesuatu yang lucu, berupa plesetan atau plintiran (TWIST) pada paragraf terakhir (4) pada kalimat “Sum Ting Wong” yang merupakan plesetan dari “some thing wrong” (ada yang salah), maksudnya ada yang salah dengan anak Jacky wong dan Lia wong. Wong dua-duanya putih kok anaknya hitam.

Penjelasan dan Contoh Analytical Exposition Text Terlengkap

 

Penjelasan dan Contoh Analytical Exposition Text Terlengkap. Kali ini saya akan bahas tentang Analytical Exposition, yang mana sebelumnya saya sudah membahas tentang Hortatory Exposition. Untuk lebih jelasnya silahkan simak penjelasan di bawah ini.

Definition of Analytical Exposition

Pengertian atau definisi analytical exposition text sebenarnya sangat mudah dipahami. Secara bahasa, “Analytical” bermakna, “examining or liking to examine things very carefully” (Cambridge). Artinya, (suka memeriksa / menguji sesuatu secara hati-hati). Sedangkan makna exposition sendiri yaitu “a comprehensive description” atau penjelasan secara luas. Dengan demikian, pengertian Analytical Exposition bisa dipahami sebagai text yang mencoba memberikan penjelasan secara komprehensif tentang suatu masalah dengan menampilkan pendapat-pendapat pendukung secara hati-hati.

Purpose of Analytical Exposition

Adapun tujuan utama analytical exposition text ini adalah, “ to attempt to persuade the reader to believe something by presenting one side of the argument.” Artinya mencoba meyakinkan pembaca agar mempercayai sesuatu dengan memberikan satu sisi pendapat saja.” Mengacu pada tujuan analytical exposition ini, hal ini tidak bermakna bahwa dalam analytical exposition berisi satu argumen saja, akan tetapi berisi berbagai argumen yang memiliki tujuan sama.

Generic Structure of Analytical Exposition

Perbedaan susunan antara hortatory exposition dengan analytical exposition hanyalah pada struktur terakhirnya saja. Jika hortatory exposition diakhiri dengan recommendation, analytical expostion diakhiri dengan conclusion. Untuk lebih jelasnya mari kita simak di bawah ini:

Thesis

Seperti pada jenis teks lainnya, thesis ini berisi pandangan penulis tentang suatu masalah secara lebih sederhana.

Series of Argument

Series of Argument berisi beberapa penjelasan lanjutan dari keterangan sederhana dalam thesis statement. Ketika menulis argument ini, diusahakan agar lebih teliti lagi karena pada bagian inilah sebuah tulisan bisa mempengaruhi pembaca. Jika perlu, sertakan pendapat menurut para ahli.

Reiteration/Conclusion

Conclusion sering juga disebut dengan reiteration. Pada bagian ini, kita hanya dituntut untuk menyimpulkan, atau lebih sederhananya kita mengungkapkan kembali apa yang dijelaskan pada thesis statement.

Grammar Used

Dalam sebuah Analytical Exposition Text, terdapat beberapa ciri-ciri kebahasaan seperti di bawah ini, yaitu:

• Menggunakan simple present
• Mengunakan reltional process
• Menggunakan internal conjunction
• Menggunakan casual conjuction

Example and Translate

The Unhealthy Fast Food

Thesis

Fast food nowadays is considered a normal eating venture. People are not just eating out on special occasions or weekends anymore. It means that all the time they mostly eat fast foods. However is fast food good for health?

Makanan cepat saji saat ini dianggap sebagai kegiatan makan yang biasa. Orang-orang tidak hanya makan makanan cepat saji pada acara-acara khusus atau akhir pekan lagi. Hal tersebut berarti bahwa sepanjang waktu mereka kebanyakan makan makanan cepat saji. Namun apakah makanan cepat saji baik untuk kesehatan?

Argument 1

Fast food has its popularity in the 1940’s. Within a few years, fast-food operations popped up everywhere. With the compelling rise in fast-food restaurants since the 1940’s, oddly it started the rise in obesity and cancer during that same time period.

Makanan cepat saji memiliki popularitasnya di tahun 1940-an. Dalam beberapa tahun, operasi makanan cepat saji muncul di mana-mana. Dengan kenaikan yang cepat di restoran cepat saji sejak 1940-an, anehnya itu lah mulanya kenaikan obesitas dan kanker pada periode waktu yang sama.

Argument 2

Fast food is highly processed with a wide array of additives. To ensure fast food’s low cost, the fast food products are made with highly-processed ingredients to give it shelf-life, to hold consistency, and to enhance flavor. Fast food is altered from its original healthy form.

Makanan cepat saji diproses secara cepat dengan beragam aditif. Untuk memastikan makanan cepat saji murah, produk-produk makanan cepat saji yang dibuat dengan bahan yang diproses dengan cepat untuk memberikan cita rasa, konsistensi rasa, dan untuk meningkatkan rasa. Makanan cepat saji diubah dari bentuk aslinya yang sehat.

Argument 3

It is not the calories in fast food which damage health and waistline. It is the chemical additives such as aspartame and MSG (monosodium glutamate). Studies show that the chemical additives lead to weight and disease issues.

Bukanlah kalori dalam makanan cepat saji yang merusak kesehatan dan menyebabkan obesitas. melainkan bahan kimia tambahan seperti aspartam dan MSG ( monosodium glutamat ). Studi menunjukkan bahwa bahan kimia tambahan mengakibatkan masalah berat badan dan penyakit.

Reiteration

So, there is absolutely nothing nutritional about fast food. Fast food simply feeds hunger and craving.

Jadi, sama sekali tidak ada gizi yang terkandung dalam makanan cepat saji. Makanan cepat saji hanya memuaskan rasa lapar dan kebutuhan.

Contoh Pertama

    The importance of learning English

Language is the mean of communication. Mostly groups of society have their own languages. Some of them appear the top global languages. Most people in the world hear about English, Arabic, and Mandarin. However English is the most global spoken language. Then if a man wants to catch a global goal, he has to master English.

Everyone recognize that English is an international language. English is used in writing and speaking by many people all over the world. It can be either as a first or second language. We even hear British, American, Australian, and even Singaporean English. Those various names of English are used as the first language in those countries. Furthermore, some countries have their own languages as a mother language but also use English mostly in daily communication.

Besides usage in daily interaction, English is also used as a key to open doors leading to scientific and technical knowledge. No wonder we find manual guides and instructions of many devices written in English. Even if we have a pack of instant noodle, we will see the cooking instruction also written in English. This transfer of science and technology will include many countries in economic, social and politics development. Finally, the most easily seen in the importance of learning English is that most top requirement in filling job opportunities is the ability using English; active or passive. Job applicants who master English are more favorable than ones who do not.

The above facts prove that everybody needs to learn English if he likes to greet the global era.

Contoh Kedua

The Dangerous of Using Drugs

Everybody must pay attention of drugs. Drugs are very dangerous for us. Why it is very dangerous for us? Because its can caused harm to our body.

In terms of health, many organs in our body can be harm because using drug. In general, the impact of using drug are can unconscious, make us hallucinate, can harm our nerve, and cause addictive effect. Beside that, using drugs can make the users depressed, liver disease, schizophrenia, blockage of blood vessels, dehydration, optic nerve damage, brain damage, and finally it can cause DEATH!
When viewed in terms of Islamic law, drugs are forbidden. Because it is cause badness, self harm, debilitate. And Islam proscribes all that can cause badness, self harm because it is included zhalim. Also if we using drugs, it means we already do the forbidden things in Islam, it means we sin. So, in terms of Islamic law, using drugs also dangerous.

Furthermore, if the users of drugs are teenagers, it can endanger their future, and endanger their homeland, their country. From the data, 32 percent of drugs users in Indonesia are teenagers, so, if many teenagers –in this case Indonesia- use drugs, it can be endanger this country, harm youth generation, whereas youths are nation expectation. If the youth using drugs, our nation can be destroy!

So, from now on we must pay attention of drugs, because it’s very dangerous, both in terms of health, religion (Islam), nationality and state.

Exercise

  Integrated Pest Management

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to control pests.

Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.

Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.

Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.

So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment.

Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.

1. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?

A. Plants

B. Ecology

C. Animals.

D. Environment.

E. Human Beings

2. What can you say about paragraph two and four?

A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.

B. Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.

C. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.

D. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.

E. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals mentioned in paragraph four.

3. One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is …

A. killing fish and bees.

B. increasing crops productivity.

C. creating balanced ecosystem.

D. causing the pests to become inactive

E. helping reduce pollutants in the environment.

4. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. (paragraph 3)

The word resistant in the sentence above means …

A. weak

2. Gold is safe and profitable for investment. In uncertain situations, many people are turning to gold because gold has a more stable value and regarded as currency without limitation assets. It is secure and can be cashed out at any time we need. The Gold values tend to be stable; take a look an IRA gold discussion. It is zero inflation effect. It is very rare that the gold prices fell. Even every year, the gold price tends to increase.
3. Investments in the form of coins, it is famous as gold coin, is more profitable if it is compared with the investment gold in the form of jewelry. Gold Coin, for example gold 401k which some people call 401k gold, is very good when used as an alternative investment, whether it is for the medium-term investment and long-term investment. Besides that gold coins need less cost in production and manufacturing sot it is more lucrative than investing gold in the form of jewelry.
4. Moreover, some people do not just think gold as an investment, but also as collections. Because the character is a collection so the uniqueness and rareness are the point. There might be coins that cost up to more than a million because of the history variables, ownership, and perhaps an important event when the coin is launched.
5. From the reason above, if we decide to make an investment, it could be useful to consider investing gold coin or think about gold IRA transfer. It is really recommended.

Another example

The power of music in our life

Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain role completing our day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is heard everywhere and anywhere.

Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music we’d listen to would be all about love. When we’re sad, we would go for music that is melancholic in nature and immerse ourselves in the sadness. When we’re happy, we’d choose songs with happy tunes too.

Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a powerful documentary. People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember details about songs they were familiar with. For example, an elderly woman who couldn’t even remember her husband’s name would remember the details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it made her feel and things about the song that made it especially memorable for her.

Further, music can unite people for a cause and changes the world. A song with good lyric and striking deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all people. We can see it in the case of the famous and legendary Michael Jackson’s Heal the World. It can arouse humanism of a lot people in this world.

Example Of Report Text, Definition, Generic Structure and Purpose

In general, report text is one type of text that include into “factual texts” category. This text also have purpose, generic structure commonly. This text is often called a “twin brother” as descriptive text so there’s a lot of students are “confused” about how to distinguish between thoose texts.

Earlier, with just brief and simple I will explain about the differences between them next time; once again it was only a small difference, and almost all the students can understand it. Therefore, to learn what is the report text, let us consider together about Example Of Report Text, Definition, Generic Structure and Purpose :

DEFINITION

The report text often also known as informational report. “Report”, the Concise Oxford Dictionary 10th Edition, is defined as :

1) An account is given of a matter after investigation or consideration.

2) A piece of information about an event or situation.

So we can conclude, in a language view, a report text is used to serves to provide information about an event or situation, after the investigation and through the multi consideration.

Definition of text report is also fairly similar to what is often mentioned in various books in English at the intermediate level, “Report is a text roomates present information about something, as it is. It is as a result of systematic observation and analyzes.” [Report is a text which presents information about something as it is. This text is the result of systematic observation and analysis.]

Thus, the actual report and descriptive text have the distinction is quite clear, although they often called by a “twin brother”.

In essence, the report text is usually filled with facts that can be proven scientifically, OK ..

GENERIC STRUCTURE

As same as descriptive text,  A report text also has two common structures [generic structure], there are :

1) General Clasification » statements that describe the common subject of the report, common description, and classification.

2) Description » Tells what the phenomenon under discussion; in terms of parts, qualities, habits or behaviors; This section gives us an overview of commonly occurring phenomenon, either of its parts, its properties, habit, or behavior. The point is, presenting elaboration of scientific classification.

There is also some information on the generic text structure report, which includes :

1) General information, is the part that mentions the general information of the theme of writing.

2) Bundles of Specific Information, give us the elaboration of general information.

I’m personally more tended to agree with the second generic structure, why? because that can make students more understanding how to write a report text.

PURPOSE / SOCIAL FUNCTION

Eveyone knows that each article certainly have a purpose why the article was written. As well as a report text. Some experts say that the purpose of the report is the text is :

Its social purpose is presenting information about something. They generally describe an entire class of things, Whether natural or made​​: Mammals, the planets, rocks, plants, countries of region, culture, transportation, and so on.

So we can concluded, the purpose of the report is to convey information text observations and systematic analysis. The information described in the report text is usually general in nature, be it natural or artificial like a mammals, planets, rocks, plants, state, cultural, transportation, etc.

UPDATE: I updated my posts again… this time I update Examples Of Spoof Text, Definition and Purpose ……….

LANGUAGE CHARACTERISTICS

Each article must have its own language characteristics, if recount text and narrative text tend to have traits using simple past, then how about report text? Okay… here is a common grammar patterns used in the text report, which includes :

1) Use of general nouns, that is, an object (be it alive or dead) of a general nature. Just compare beetwen  “Hunting dogs” and “My dog”​​. Hunting dogs are common, while my dog ​​is more spesific.

2) Use of Relating verbs to describe features, the grammar is also called linking verbs. As to be [is, am, are: present], seem, look, taste, etc.

3) Some use of action verbs when describing behavior, eg Emus can not fly;

4) Use of timeless present tense to indicate usualness, is one time in the simple present markers such as “often, Usually, always” and others. eg Tropical cyclones always begin over the sea;

5) Use of technical terms, eg “Isobars” are lines drawn on a weather map; For example, on “music” then, the terms of the music should be there.

6) Use of paragraphs with topic sentences to organisé bundles of information; repeated naming of the topic as the beginning focus of the clause.

EXAMPLE OF REPORT TEXT

Venice is a city in northern Italy. It is the capital of region Veneto. Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area. Venice has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Water”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.

Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.

You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses (“vaporetti”) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.

You can see the amusing city’s landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Mark’s Cathedral or villas of the Veneto. The villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the Republic, are one of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside.

They are surrounded by elegant gardens, suitable for fashionable parties of high society. The city is also well known for its beautiful and romantic view, especially at night.

So thats all, a brief explanation and examples of the “Report Text”, if there are suggestions, criticism, comments, please be express in the comment form 🙂
