Contoh teks Review

Since the first production of ‘Private Lives’ in 1930,with the theatre’s two leading sphisticates Noel Coward and Gertrude Lawrence in the leads, the play has tended to be seen as vehicle of stars
QUT Academy of the Arts’ production boastedno’stars’, but certainly fielded potential stars in a sparkling performance that brought out just how fine a piece of craftmanship Coward’s play is. Evaluation
More than 60 years later, what new could be deduced from so familiar a theme ? Director Rod Wissler’s highly perceptive approach went beyond the glittery suface of Witty banter to the darker implications beneath.
With the shifting of attitudes to social values, it became clear that Victor and Sybyl were potentially the more admireable of the couples, with standards better adjusted than the volatile and self indulgent Elyot and Amanda. The wit was there, dexteously ping-ponged to and fro by a vibrant Amanda (Catherine Jones) and a suave Elyot (Daniel Kealy)
Julie’s Eckersley’s Sibyl was a delightful creation, and Phillip Cameron-Smith’s more serious playing was just right for Victor. Jodie Levesconte was a superb French maid. James Maclean’s set captured the Thirties atmosphere with many subtle.
All involved deserve the highest praise.

tlgin aku dong,,, kasi penjelasan tentang spoof,, tq ya..

Spoof is like a recount text, but the ending is usually funny.

The function is to retell an event with a humorous twist.

The generic structure of this text  is: orientation – event(s) – twists

This text uses past tense.


Example:
One day, two villagers went to Jakarta. They went to the biggest mall and saw shiny silver walls that could open and move apart and back together. They were amazed when an old lady rolled in to the small room and the doors closed. A minute later, the doors opened and a young beautiful lady stepped out.The father said to his son "Go, get your mother now."

tolong beri saya contoh report teks tentang teknologi dan hewan?

Contoh Report tentang hewan

Goannas

Goannas are large Australian lizards which belong to the reptile family.Goannas are yellowish-brown in colour and grow to about a metre in length.They live in burrows and eat insects, lizards, mice, eggs, and flesh of dead animals. To breed, the female goanna lays about six eggs in a termite mound.

Contoh Report tentang tekhnologi

Fax Machine

 

Fax, the short term for facsimile is a telecommunications technology used to transfer copies (facsimiles) of documents, especially using affordable devices operating over the telephone network. The word telefax, short for telefacsimile, for "make a copy at a distance", is also used as a synonym. The device is also known as a telecopier in certain industries. When sending documents to people at large distances, faxes have a distinct advantage over postal mail in that the delivery is nearly instantenous, yet its disadvantages in quality and its proprietary format have relegated it to a position beneath email as the prevailing form of electronic document tranferral.

saya mau minta tolong. tolong diterangin penjelasannya dengan menggunakan bahasa inggris.tentang 12 text yaitu :narrative,report, news item, recount, analytical expo, hortatory expo, dan strusnya.

 tolong diterangkan beserta generic structurenya dan contohnya.

 atas perhatiannya terima kasih. saya merasa sagat senang dan salut bila dijawab.

News Item

It is factual text which informs readers events of the day which are considered newsworthy or important.

And the generic structure of the text is: newsworthy event(s), background event (s), sources.

This text has language features such as: short, telegraphic information about story summarized in one sentence headline, use of material or action processes to retell story and it oftens dramatic use of participant structure.

Ciri Kebahasaan:   Menggunakan action verbs, misalnya eat, run; binatang, benda tertentu;   Disusun Menggunakan past tense; Menggunakan keterangan waktu dan tempat;  sesuai dengan urutan kejadian.

Contoh:
Russian Nuclear Catastrophe
(Elaborasi kejadian): Moscow-A Russian journalist has uncovered evidence of another Soviet nuclear catastrophe, which killed 10 sailors and contaminated an entire town.

(Komentar saksi kejadian): Yelena Vazrshavskya is the first journalist to speak to people who witnessed the explosion of a nuclear submarine at the naval base of Shkotovo-22 near Vladivostock.
The accident, which occurred 13 months before the Chernobly disaster, spread radioactive fall-out over the base and nearby town, but was covered up by officials of the Soviet Union. Residents were told the explosion in the reactor of the Victor class sub marine during a refit had been a 'thermal' and not a nuclear explosion. And those involved in the clean-up operation to remove more than 600 tons of contaminated materials were sworn to secrecy.

(Pendapat para ahli): A board of investigators was later to describe it as the worst accident in the history of the Soviet Navy.

 

Hortatory Exposition

 

The function of the text is to persuade the readers or listeners that something should or shouldn’t be the case.

 

The generic structure is thesis, arguments, recommendation.

 

Example:

Country Concern

Thesis

In all the discussion over the removal of lead from petrol (and the atmosphere) there doesn't seem to have been any mention of the difference between driving in the city and the country.

 

Argument

While I realize my leaded petrol car is polluting the air wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel through the country, where you only see the another car every five to ten minutes, the problem is not as severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads.

 

Argument

 Those who want to penalize older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don't seem to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back upon and one's own vehicle is the only way to get about.

 

Recommendation

I feel that the 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.

 

Analytical Exposition

 

The function of this text is to persuade the readers or listeners that something is in the case.

 

The generic structure is thesis/statement of position, arguments, reiteration or summing up/ reinforcement of position statement

 

This text has language features such as: focus on generic human and non human participants, reasoning expressed as verbs and nouns, use of material, relation and mental process.

 

 

SHOULD CHILDREN WEAR HATS AT SCHOOL?<br>

(Statement of position):<br>

I believe that you should always wear a hat at school when you are playing outside , to stop you from getting sunburn.<br>

(Argument 1):<br>

Firstly, if you don’t wear a hat, you will get sunburn ant the sunburn is painful.<br>

(Argument 2):<br>

Secondly, sunburn could lead to skin cancer. Sunburn can lead to health problems later in life. Many older people suffer from skin cancer which can kill them.<br>

(Reinforcement of position statement):<br>

In my opinion all school students should wear hats.<br>

 

 

SHOULD MUSIC BE COMPULSORY IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL?<br>

(Statement of position):<br>

I believe that music should be compulsory in Junior High School. Firstly, everyone likes music of some kind. Music is enjoyable.<br>

(Argument 1):<br>

Secondly, the music industry is very popular in our society and the music industry is a very big one. It is important to know something about it.<br>

(Argument 2):<br>

Thirdly, learning to play music and to play an instrument helps you with other subjects. Studies have shown this. Playing an instrument is interesting and enjoyable. Also, songs tell stories, help us with English and make us happy.<br>

(Reinforcement of position statement):<br>

In conclusion, for the above reasons, I believe that music should be compulsory inh Junior High School.<br>

 

Discussion

The function of the text is to present (at least) two points of view about an issue.

The generic structure of this text is: issue, arguments for and against or statements of differing points of view, conclusion or recommendations.

 This text has the similar language features as anal;ytical exposition.

Example:

Boxing

By Kerry Williams

There was a lot of disscusion about whether boxing should be banned.

The  people who agree with this idea, such as Sarah, claim that if they do carry on boxing they should wear something to protect their heads. They also argue that people who do boxing could have brain damage and get seriously hurt. A further point they make is that most of the people that have died did have families.

However, there are also strong arguments againts this point of view. Another group of people believe that boxing should not be banned. They say that why they ivent it if is a dangerous sport. They say that boxing is a good sport, people enjoy it. A furthermore reason is if they ban boxing it will ruin people’s careers.

After looking at the different points of view and the evidence for them i think boxing should be banned because five hundred people have died in boxing since 1884.

Explanation

 

The aim of an explanation is to explain the process involved in the formation or workings of natural or socio cultural phenomena.

 

The generic structure is a general statement to position the reader, a sequenced explanation of why or how something occurs.

 

This text has language features such as: focus on generic non-human participants, use of simple present, etc.

 

 

Example:

Carnivorous plants

These students wrote their explanations after watching a video about carnivorous  (fresh-eating) plants. These plants live in places that have very few nutrients in the soil. To survive in this hostile environment, they capture and eat live prey. Most eat insects, but some can swallow rats and small birds.

 

Venus Flytrap

The Venus Flytrap is an extraordinary plant. It is a carnivorous (flesh eating) plant which can digest flies and other insects.

 

When the ‘trap’ is open, it looks like a large seashell with sharp, spiky ‘teeth’. It has bright colours and a beautiful scent.

 

Insects are attraced to the plant because of its vibrant colours and its sweet-scented nectar. The insects land on small ‘trigger’ hairs of the trap and this pressure causes the trap to close. If the insect is too small, the chamber will not close, because there is not enough pressure. Once the trap has swallowed an insect it takes ten days to diggest it.

 

The Venus Flytrap prefers tropical weather and so it is found in places like South America. It is often used by people to catch the annoying insects that fly around their houses. In my opinion it’s very useful plant!

 

Bradley Aldous

 

 

The Picher of Death

You may have heard of a plant called the Picher of Death. As you can probably tell by its name, it kills and eats insects. If you want to know how, read on!

 

To catch flies and other insects, this  plant needs a bait and a trap. The bait in this case in nectar. The trap is the cup or ‘pitcher’ shaped leaves which have short hairs at the top to give the insect a sure foothold, but slippery hairs pointing downwards, so it can’t escape once it falls in. the other part of the trap is a digestive fluid inside the cup.

 

How it catches the insect is really quite simple. First the insect is attracted by the nectar. Then it slips on the smooth inner surface of the plant. Next it is forced downwards by the slippery hairs. Then it falls into the digestive fluid and is drowned.

 

An interesting fact about this plant is that the pitcher leaves can grow to the size of a fully grown adult’s hand.

A brief Summary of Speech Production

 

General statement to Position the Reader

Speech production is made possible by the speciallised movements of our vocal organs generate speech sounds waves.

 

Explanation

Like all sound production, speech production reguires a source of energy. The source of energy for speech production is the steady stream of air that comes from the lungs as we exhale. When we breathe normally, the air stream is inaudible, the air stream must vibrate rapidly. The vocal cords cause the air stream to vibrate.

 

Explanation

As we talk, the vocal cords open and close rapidly, chopping up the steady air stream into a series of puffs. These puffs are heard as a buzz. But this buzz is still not speech.

 

Explanation

To produce speech sounds, the vocal tract must change shape. During speech we continually after the shape of the vocal track by moving the tongue and lips, etc. these movements change the acoustic properties of the vocal tract, which in turn produce the different sounds of speech.
