Trains
Tittle

General Classification A train is made up of railroad cars, hooked

together and pulled by a locomotive. Locomotives
are sometimes called engines. The types of
locomotive engines most used today are diesel-
electric. Engines that burn diesel fuel drive
generators that make electricity. Powerful electric
motors turn the wheels of a diesel-electric
locomotive. There are two types of train, freight
and passenger trains.

Description A freight train can have as many as 200 cars

hooked together. There are special railroad cars
for different kinds of freight. The boxcar has four
sides, a floor and a roof. It carries radios, television
sets and boxes of cereal. Refrigerator cars work
like your home refrigerator. They are boxcars that
are cool inside. Refrigerator cars carry meat, fruit,
frozen dinners and other food that must be kept
cold. The hopper car is open on the top. Hopper
cars carry coal, sand, gravel, and ore (rocks that
contain metals). A flatcar has no top or sides. It has
a floor on wheels. Flat cars carry lumber, steel
beams, huge pieces of machinery, and other big
items. Lifting machines called cranes load cargo
onto flat cars. Special flatcars carry cars, boats,
and trucks.
Passenger trains have seats in rows along each
side. They are made for long trips. They have seats

Robots
The word robot comes from the Czech word Robota which means labour
or work. A robot is known as a machine that does the work of a human
being.
Robots are usually used to do repetitive work which requires high
precision. For instance, robots are used to produce cars. Later, robots
may also perform surgical operations on humans. A computer could
direct the procedure with excellent precision. Meanwhile, human
surgeons could control the progress by monitoring the operation on a
large video screen.

Soon, robots may also do household chores, such as sweeping and

mopping. Robots may also be designed to do dangerous jobs like cleaning
the site of a nuclear accident.
Terjemahannya:
Robot

Kata robot berasal dari bahasa Czech kata Robota yang artinya tenaga kerja atau
kerja. Robot dikenal sebagai mesin yang melakukan pekerjaan manusia.

Robot biasanya digunakan untuk melakukan pekerjaan berulang yang membutuhkan

ketelitian tinggi. Misalnya, robot digunakan untuk memproduksi mobil. Nantinya, robot
juga dapat melakukan operasi pembedahan pada manusia. Komputer dapat
mengarahkan prosedur dengan presisi yang sangat baik. Sementara itu, ahli bedah
manusia dapat mengontrol kemajuan dengan memantau operasi di layar video besar.

Segera, robot juga dapat melakukan pekerjaan rumah tangga, seperti menyapu dan
mengepel. Robot juga dapat dirancang untuk melakukan pekerjaan berbahaya seperti
membersihkan lokasi kecelakaan nuklir.

Contoh Report Text Tentang Hewan dan Terjemahannya

Grasshopper
Grasshoppers are insects. People also call them short-horned
grasshopper because they do not have any nose. We can find about
10,000 different species in many different parts of the world.
Like most insects, they lay eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they change
into nymphs. They look like little adults, but don't have any wings and
reproductive organs. The outer layer of their body will get harder when
they grow older. Grasshoppers' colours are mostly green, brown, or olive-
green.
 A grasshopper's body is covered by a hard exoskeleton. It consists of
the head, thorax, and abdomen. Grasshoppers have a series of holes
located along the side of the body. They are called spiracles. Spiracles
help grasshoppers to breathe.
Grasshoppers are able to hop, walk, and fly. They hop with their long
hind legs. They use their short front legs to grasp their prey and to walk.
When grasshoppers rub their back legs together, they will make noise.
Grasshoppers eat plants. In the ecosystem, their predators include
birds, insects, and reptiles. Grasshoppers' eggs are also eaten by some
flies.
Terjemahannya:
Belalang

Belalang adalah serangga. Orang juga menyebut mereka belalang tanduk pendek
karena tidak memiliki hidung. Kita dapat menemukan sekitar 10.000 spesies berbeda di
berbagai belahan dunia.

Seperti kebanyakan serangga, mereka bertelur. Setelah telur menetas, mereka

berubah menjadi nimfa. Mereka terlihat seperti orang dewasa kecil, tetapi tidak memiliki
sayap dan organ reproduksi. Lapisan luar tubuh mereka akan semakin keras saat
mereka bertambah tua. Warna belalang kebanyakan hijau, coklat, atau hijau zaitun.

Tubuh belalang ditutupi oleh kerangka luar yang keras. Terdiri dari kepala, dada, dan
perut. Belalang memiliki sederet lubang yang terletak di sepanjang sisi tubuh. Mereka
disebut spirakel. Spirakel membantu belalang bernafas.

Belalang bisa melompat, berjalan, dan terbang. Mereka melompat dengan kaki
belakangnya yang panjang. Mereka menggunakan kaki depan yang pendek untuk
menangkap mangsanya dan berjalan. Saat belalang menggosok kaki belakangnya,
mereka akan membuat suara.

Belalang memakan tumbuhan. Dalam ekosistem, predatornya termasuk burung,

serangga, dan reptil. Telur belalang juga dimakan oleh beberapa lalat.

Contoh Report Text Tentang Tempat

Landmark
Landmark is a recognizable natural or artificial feature used for
navigation. This feature usually stands out from its near environment and
is often visible from long distances. In modern use, the term “landmark”
can also be applied to smaller structures or features becoming local or
national symbols.
Landmarks are usually classified into both natural landmarks and
man-made landmarks. Natural landmarks can be characteristic features,
such as mountains or plateaus. Examples of natural landmarks are Table
Mountain in South Africa, Uluru in Australia, and Mount Fuji in Japan.
Trees might also serve as local landmarks. Some landmark trees may be
nicknamed, examples being Queen’s Oak, Hanging Oak or Centennial
Tree.
In modern sense, landmarks are usually referred to monuments or
distinctive buildings, used as the symbol of a certain area such as the
Statue of Liberty in New York City, Eiffel tower in Paris, Big Ben in
London, etc.
Church spires and mosque’s minarets are often very tall and visible from
many miles around. Thus, these various buildings often serve as man-
made landmarks.
Terjemahannya:
Landmark

Landmark adalah fitur alami atau buatan yang dapat dikenali yang digunakan untuk
navigasi. Fitur ini biasanya menonjol dari lingkungan dekatnya dan sering terlihat dari
jarak jauh. Dalam penggunaan modern, istilah "tengara" juga dapat diterapkan pada
bangunan atau fitur yang lebih kecil yang menjadi simbol lokal atau nasional.

Landmark biasanya diklasifikasikan menjadi landmark alam dan landmark buatan

manusia. Landmark alam dapat berupa ciri khas, seperti pegunungan atau dataran
tinggi. Contoh landmark alam adalah Gunung Meja di Afrika Selatan, Uluru di Australia,
dan Gunung Fuji di Jepang. Pohon mungkin juga berfungsi sebagai landmark lokal.
Beberapa pohon tengara dapat diberi julukan, contohnya adalah Queen's Oak, Hanging
Oak atau Centennial Tree.

Dalam pengertian modern, landmark biasanya disebut monumen atau bangunan khas,
digunakan sebagai lambang suatu daerah tertentu seperti Patung Liberty di New York
City, menara Eiffel di Paris, Big Ben di London, dll.

Menara gereja dan menara masjid seringkali sangat tinggi dan terlihat dari jarak bermil-
mil. Karenanya, berbagai bangunan ini sering dijadikan landmark buatan manusia.

Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means
that unlike fish or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no
bones at all.

Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous
systems for sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are

is made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe
jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example, they may glow to scare
away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.
