Dear student…..
A little bit confused mempelajari teks description and report??  Don’t worry, now you’ll read the difference between them.  Check it out.

Description adalah jenis teks yang berisi uraian tentang sesuatu. To describe yang artinya menggambarkan, maka jenis teks ini menceritakan sesuatu dengan jelas, sehingga tanpa melihat objek yang diceritakan, pembaca atau pendengar seolah-olah bisa melihat dengan jelas objek tersebut. Hampir mirip dengan teks bergenre REPORT. Namun tentu saja ada perbedaannya. Report menceritakan sesuatu secara umum, tetapi teks Descriptive hanya menceritakan satu objek tertentu.

 

 

Coba perhatikan contoh teks berikut:

Text 1

I have a pet. It is a dog and I call it Brownie. It is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy, and cute. It has got thick brown fur. When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Brownie doesn’t like bones. Everyday it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread. (Bergenre DESCRIPTIVE karena menceritakan tentang seekor anjing yang bernama Brownie)
Text 2
A kangaroo is an animal found only n Australia, although is has a small relative, called a wallaby, which lives on the Australian island in Tasmania and also in New Guinea.(Bergenre REPORT karena menceritakan tentang Kangaroo secara umum)
Coba perhatikan lagi contoh berikut:
CAT belongs to mammal… (report)
MY CAT has thick fur…. (descriptive)

Perhatikan juga susunan berikut:
Genre : Descriptive
Social Function : To describe a particular person, place, or thing
Generic Structure :
1. Identification (identify phenomenon to be described)
2. Description (describe parts, qualities, characteristics)

Bandingkan dengan:

Genre : Report

Social Function : To describe the way things are (for example a man-made thing, animals, plants).

 

Text organization :

1. General Classification (Introduce the topic of the report such as: the class or the subclass)

2. Identification (tell the shape/form, parts, behaviour, habitat, way of survival)

 

Well, must be clear enough ya.  Kalau masih belum jelas, boleh nanya ko.  Reply aja.

CHAMELEONS

            There are 80 different types of chameleons in the world, most of which are to be found in Africa, south of the Sahara desert. The common chameleon ranges from the Middle East, along the North African coast to southern Spain.

            The chameleon is a slow-moving lizard which hunts for insects among trees and undergrowth. One of its peculiar features is its eyes, which are set in two conical sockets and can move independently of one another. This enables the chameleon to look behind with one eye and in front with the other.

            Chameleons are well-known for their ability to change color. The skin and body markings can change color to match the surroundings. Among the plants, for example, the chameleon is very difficult to spot among foliage.

            When the chameleon spots an insect which it thinks would make a fine meal, it shoots out a long, sticky tongue and draws its prey back into its mouth.

     

Pertanyaannya adalah:

Which of the following ideas is NOT mentioned in the text?

a.   Distribution of chameleons

b.   Description of chameleons

c.   Chameleons’ ability to make a fine meal

d.   Chameleons’ ability to change color

Yg betul A / C ya, Pak/Bu?

It must have been about two in the morning when we returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the door bell, but she was fast asleep.
