REPORT TEXT

 Pada kesempatan kali ini kami akan memberikan salah satu jenis dari genre text yaitu Report Text. Kalian tentunya sudah pernah atau bahkan sering mendengar atau membaca report text secara tidak langsung. Misalnya saat kita mendengar informasi fakta dari seseorang tentang sesuatu, dan lain sebagainya. Report text ini penting untuk dipelajari karena materi ini sering muncul umumnya di SMP atau SMA. Nah tanpa basa-basi lagi mari kita simak pengertian, generic structure, ciri-ciri, contoh, dan soal latihan report text.

Apa itu Report Text?

 Report text is a text which presents information about something generally, as it is. It is as a result of systematic observation and analysis

Report text adalah teks yang menunjukkan informasi tentang sesuatu pada umumnya dan apa adanya. Report text ini merupakan hasil dari observasi penelitian dan analisa sistematis. Namun terkadang orang-orang menganggap report text ini sama atau serupa dengan Descriptive Text. Lalu apa bedanya Report Text dengan Descriptive Text?

Berbeda dengan Report text yang menunjukkan informasi secara umum, Descriptive text menunjukkan informasi secara menyeluruh dan detail (khusus). Jadi kalian cukup ingat saja bahwa Report text = umum dan Descriptive Text = khusus.

Karena menunjukkan sebuah hasil penelitian ilmiah, maka report text ini biasanya merupakan hal seputar hal-hal ilmiah di sekitar kita, misalnya fenomena alam, tata-surya, planet, hewan, tanaman, kehidupan sosial manusia, negara, budaya, transportasi dan lain sebagainya.

Generic Structure Report Text

1. General Classification
   Tahap awal ini merupakan pernyataan mengenai apa yang sedang dibahas secara umum.

Contoh Report Text 1

Bicycle

          A bicycle, is called a bike or cycle, is a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. A bicycle rider is called a cyclist, or bicyclist.

          Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century in Europe and as of 2003, more than 1 billion have been produced worldwide, twice as many as the number of automobiles that have been produced. They are the principal means of transportation in many regions. They also provide a popular form of recreation, and have been adapted for use as children's toys, general fitness, military and police applications, courier services, and bicycle racing.

          The basic shape and configuration of a typical upright or "safety bicycle", has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885. But  many details have been improved, especially since the advent of modern materials and computer-aided design. These have allowed for a proliferation of specialized designs for many types of cycling.

          The bicycle's invention has had an enormous effect on society, both in terms of culture and of advancing modern industrial methods. Several components that eventually played a key role in the development of the automobile were initially invented for use in the bicycle, including ball bearings, pneumatic tires, chain-driven sprockets, and tension-spoked wheels.

Volcano

          A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. There are more than 500 active volcanoes in the world. More than half of these volcanoes are part of the “Ring of Fire,” a region that encircles the Pacific Ocean.

         An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls. In an eruption, gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods. Fresh volcanic ash, made of pulverized rock, can be harsh, acidic, gritty, glassy and smelly. The ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people, babies and people with respiratory problems.

         The sound of an eruption volcano can be quiet and hissing or explosive and booming. The loud cracks travel hundreds of miles and do the most damage, including hearing loss and broken glass. Volcanic lightning occurs mostly within the cloud of ash during an eruption, and is created by the friction of the ash rushing to the surface. Roughly 200 accounts of this lightning have been witnessed live.

Elephant

          Eagles are large, powerfully built birds of prey, with a heavy head and beak. Even the smallest eagles, like the booted eagle (Aquila pennata) (which is comparable in size to a common buzzard (Buteo buteo) or red-tailed hawk (B. jamaicensis)), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight – despite the reduced size of aerodynamic feathers. 

          Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from some vultures. The smallest species of eagle is the South Nicobar serpent eagle (Spilornis klossi), at 450 g (0.99 lb) and 40 cm (16 in). The largest species are discussed below. 

          Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large hooked beaks for ripping flesh from their prey, strong muscular legs, and powerful talons. The beak is typically heavier than that of most other birds of prey. 

          Eagles’ eyes are extremely powerful, having up to 3.6 times human acuity for the martial eagle, which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance.This keen eyesight is primarily attributed to their extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light. The female of all known species of eagles is larger than the male.
