Report and descriptive text have the

Definition of a Report Text.
A report text is a text that describes something in general which is the result of systematic
observation and analyzes.
Social Function of a Report Text
The purpose of a report text is to present information about something in general. The
General Characteristics of a Report Text
A. Generic structures
 Title: A title of a report text indicates the topic of the text and it is a very general thing.
 General Classification: A general classification is a part that state classification of general
aspect of things, such as: animals, public places, plants, etc. It will be discussed in general.
  Description: This part gives describing of the things which will be discussed in detail, in
terms of: parts (and their function), qualities, habits and behavior.

Linguistic features
1. Focus on generic participant.
2. A report text always introduces group or general aspect and focus on
general nouns, such as: ‘Platypus’, ‘Bees’, etc.
3. A report text uses relating verb and action verb, for example:
Relating verb : Reptiles are scalyanimal,etc. Action verb : Birds fly in the sky, etc.
4. A report text uses of simple present tense
For example: Platypus lives in streams, male platypus does not need any burrow,
etc
5. The language used in a report text is a scientific language, for example: water
contains oxygen and hydrogen, etc.
6. A report text uses Conditionals and logical connectives, such as: but, in other
hand, etc.
7. Some report text use passive voice
8. Example
Title: Bird
General classification:
Birds are flying animals. They are vertebrate animals that are warm blooded. They
belong to the class Aves and they can be seen everywhere.

Description:
Birds breathe with their special breathing organ called air pocket. Beside as
respiration organ, air pocket also can add or reduce their weight when flying or
swimming. There are many kinds of birds in this world. They have different morphology
according to their food and their habitat. Some of them eat seeds, pollen, fish, or meat.
Female birds have specific duties. They lay eggs and feed their baby in their nests.

 Passive Voice
a. Functions of the passive voice
The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an
action rather than the person or object that performs the action. In other words, the
most important thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence.
Examples
 The passive voice is used frequently. (= we are interested in the passive voice, not in
who uses it.)
 The house was built in 1654. (= we are interested in the house, not in who built it.)
 The road is being repaired. (= we are interested in the road, not in the people who
are doing the repairs.)
Sometimes we use the passive voice because we don't know or do not want to
express who performed the action. Examples ;

 I noticed that a window had been left open.

 Every year thousands of people are killed on our roads.
 All the cookies have been eaten.
 My car has been stolen!
b. The form of passive voice
The passive voice in English is composed of two elements: 'to be' + past
participle’

Affirmative Negative Interrogative Wh Question

The house was built The house wasn't Was the house When was the house
in 1899. built in 1899. built in 1899? built?

These houses were These houses Were these When were these
built in 1899. weren't built in houses built in houses built?
1899. 1899?
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
 the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
 the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
 the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is
dropped)

The blue whale is not only the biggest whale living today; the blue whale is the
biggest creature ever to have lived on Earth. They are mind-bogglingly gigantic; much
larger than any of the dinosaurs. Blue whales and the other ocean giants live their whole
lives in seawater.

Blue whales commonly reach the colossal length of 29m, that’s roughly as long as
three London red double-decker buses parked end to end. Blue whales in the Southern
Hemisphere are generally larger than those in the Northern Hemisphere and female
blues are larger than males.

The longest blue whale on record is a female measured at a South Georgia whaling
station in the South Atlantic (1909); she was 33.58m. The heaviest blue whale was also a
female hunted in the Southern Ocean, Antarctica, on 20 March 1947. She tipped the
scales at 190 tonnes which is equivalent to about 30 elephants or 2500 people.

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, and they’re one of the most
unique-looking animals, too. With their characteristic long noses, or trunks; large,
floppy ears; and wide, thick legs, there is no other animal with a similar physique.

Most experts recognize two species of elephant: the Asian elephant (Elephas
maximus) and the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), who live on separate continents
and have many unique features. There are several subspecies that belong to one or the
other of these two main species, though experts argue over how many subspecies there
are and whether or not they constitute separate species.

African elephants live in sub-Saharan Africa, the rainforests of Central and West

Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Like all
mammals they feed their young ones milk. There are about
900 types of bats, that live all over the world except in
colder regions. You can often find them in groups, called
colonies. If you see one bat flying around there are probably
others nearby.
Bats can grow to be big or small. The largest
ones have a wingspan of up to 1.5 meters, others are only 15
cm wide. The mouth of a bat is similar to the one of a rat or
fox. They have large, pointed ears and grey or brown fur.
Bats have long arms and hands with especially long fingers.
These are connected to the legs with membranes that form
their wings. They have muscles in them which make it easy
for a bat to fly.
Bats sleep during the daytime and come out at
night in search of food. Flying around at night means
meeting fewer enemies and being able to catch more
insects than during the day because they don’t have to
compete with birds for food. Some bats eat insects, fruit
and pollen; others are meat eaters that feed on birds and
smaller bats.

zebras occur in south-western Africa with cape mountain zebras
in South Africa and Hartmann’s mountain zebras in Namibia and
Angola. Zebras are herbivorous and primarily eat at variety of
grassess.
Bears are mammals of the family Ursidae. Bears are classified
as caniforms or doglike carnivores, with the pinniped being their
closest living relatives. Although there are only eight living species
of bear, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of
habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the
Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found in the continents of North
America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
Common characteristics of modern bears include a large
body with short and solid legs, a long snout, shaggy hair,
plantigrade paws with five nonrestrictive claws, and a short tail.
While the polar bear is mostly carnivorous and the giant panda
feeds almost entirely on bamboo, the remaining six species are
omnivorous, with largely varied diets including both plants and
animals.
With the exceptions of courting individuals and mothers
with their young, bears are typically solitary animals. They are
sometimes diurnal, but are usually active during the night
(nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular). Bears are aided by an
excellent sense of smell, and despite their heavy build and
awkward gait, they can run quickly and are adept climbers and
swimmers.
An elephant is the largest and strongest animals. It is
a strange looking animal with its thick legs, huge sides
and backs, large hanging ears, a small tall, little eyes,
long white tusks and above all it has a long noise, the
trunk.
The trunk is the elephant’s peculiar feature, and it
has various uses. The elephant draws up water by its
trunk and can squirt it all over its body like a shower
bath. It can also lift leaves and puts them into its
mouth. In fact the trunk serves the elephant as a long
am and hand. An elephant looks very clumsy and heavy
and yet it can move very quickly.
The elephant is a very intelligent animal. Its
intelligence combined with its great strength makes it a
very useful servant to man and it can be trained to

Most cacti live in extremely dry
environments, even being found in the
Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on
earth because cacti can conserve water by
doing many adaptions. Almost all cacti have
thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water.
Most species of cacti have lost true leaves,
retaining only spines, which are highly
modified leaves. The spines help prevent
water loss by reducing air flow close to the
cactus and providing some shade.
Cacti are native to the Americas,
ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts
of western Canada in the north—except for
Rhipsalis baccifera, which also grows in
Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti have a variety
of uses: many
species are used as ornamental plants and
others for food (particularly their fruit).

animal remains from several miles away. They
also hunt other lizards as well as large
mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic.

1. Volcanic earthquakes happen exactly General Clasification
with volcanic activity. Volcanic
earthquakes are when the volcano
produces acidic lava, which drys
quickly, when it drys quickly it blocks
the top of the volcano. This make no
more magma can escape. Pressure
starts to build up and eventually the
acidic lava can no longer stand the
pressure. So the volcano is free to
explode, the pressure is released so fast
that an earthquake is caused. A
volcanic earthquake is usually kept
within 10-20 miles of the volcano.
2. Explosion earthquakes are the result Description
of the collapse earthquakes that are
small earthquakes occurring in
underground mines and caverns.
3. Earthquake often happens around us. It Description
brings great damages. Earthquake is
hard to be predicted and that makes lot
victims.

4. Tectonic earthquakes is most Description

common one. This kind of
earthquake happens while earth’s
crust rocks break because of the
geological strength created by
moving of the earth’s plates.
5. Actually there are three kinds of Description
earthquake. This kinds of earthquake
are commonly base on the factor and
geological area where the earthquakes
happen. These three kinds of
earthquake are tectonic, volcanic and
explosion.

Antarctica
Antarctica is the world’s fifth largest-continent. It is at the bottom of the earth,
in the Frigid Zone.

The weather on this icy land mass means that it is the windiest, coldest, and
driest place on earth. The highest temperature Antarctica has reached is -10 degrees
Celsius, while the lowest is -89 degrees Celsius. In thinner regions of Antarctica, there
are extremely cold temperatures which cause several months of darkness.

The Antarctica landform is unique because of its different shapes and sizes
which are formed by the wind and waves. Antarctica started to break up during the
Triassic period (between 205-240 million years ago). Antarctica used to be apart of a
larger land mass called Gondwanaland.

 Lavender
Lavender is a type of plant found on almost all continents. It has a purplish
colour. It has a colour named after it, called lavendar. Its Latin and
scientific name is Lavandula.
Lavenders are very popular among gardeners. Sometimes their petals are
dried and sealed in pouches for good scent, and sometimes put inside clothes
to prevent moths, who can damage the clothes.
Lavenders are also used in cake decorating, because the flowers can become candied. Sometimes they are
used in flavoring baked goods and chocolate desserts, and sometimes they use it to make a very delicious
"lavender sugar". Lavender flowers are also used to make tea. The French make lavender syrup, which is
used to make lavender scones and lavender marshmallows.
Lavenders are sometimes put in medicine, too, and sometimes to prevent infection - such as lavender oil, that
was used in World War 1 to disinfect walls and floors of the hospital. As the folk wisdom says, lavender oil
is also helpful to headaches when rubbed on your temple, and lavender tea helps you relax before bed time.
Lavender also is very helpful when applied to insect bites.
Sometimes, dried petals of lavender are used to throw confetti at a wedding.

A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land, a deluge. It is usually due
to the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, exceeding the total capacity of
the body, and as a result some of the water flows or sits outside of the normal perimeter of the
body. It can also occur in rivers, when the strength of the river is so high it flows right out of the river
channel, usually at corners or meanders. These of course, are not applicable in such instances as sea
flooding.

A flood occurs when an area of land, usually low-lying, is covered with water. The worst
floods usually occur when a river overflows its banks. Floods happen when soil and vegetation
cannot absorb all the water. The water then runs off the land in quantities that cannot be carried in
stream channels or kept in natural ponds or man- made reservoirs.

Periodic floods occur naturally on many rivers, forming an area known as the flood plain.
These river floods usually result from heavy rain, sometimes combined with melting snow, which
causes the rivers to overflow their banks. A flood that rises and falls rapidly with little or no advance
warning is called a flash flood. Flash floods usually result from intense rainfall over a relatively small
area, as happened in 2007 with the Sudan floods. Coastal areas are occasionally flooded by high
tides caused by severe winds on ocean surfaces, or by tsunami waves caused by undersea
earthquakes.

Earthquake often happens around us. It often brings great damages. Earthquake
is hard to predict and that causes a lot of victims. Actually there are three kinds of
earthquake. The different types of earthquake are commonly classified according to
its causes and the geological area where the earthquakes happen. The three kinds of
earthquake are tectonic, volcanic and explosive.
Tectonic earthquake is the most common one. This type of earthquake occurs
when rocks in the earth's crust break due to geological forces created by movement
of tectonic plates.
Volcanic earthquakes occur in conjunction with volcanic activity. Volcanic
earthquakes occur when the volcano produces acidic lava, which dries quickly. When
it dries quickly it blocks the top of the volcano so that no more magma can escape.
Pressure starts to build up and eventually the acidic lava can no longer stand the
pressure. This makes the volcano explode. The pressure is released so fast that an
earthquake occurs.
Explosive earthquakes result from the explosion of nuclear and chemical devices.
Explosive earthquakes are generally small earthquakes.

A. The most common type of earthquake

Hurricanes are giant, spiraling tropical storms that can pack wind speeds of
over 160 miles (257 kilometers) an hour and unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons (9
trillion liters) of rain a day.
Hurricanes begin as tropical disturbances in warm ocean waters with surface
temperatures of least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.5 degrees Celsius). These low
pressure systems are fed by energy from the warm seas. If a storm achieves wind of
38 miles (61 kilometers) an hour, it becomes known as a tropical depression. A
tropical depression becomes a tropical storm, when its sustained wind speeds top 39
miles (63 kilometers) an hour. When a storm's sustained wind speeds reach 74 miles
(119 kilometers) an hour, it becomes a hurricane and earns a category rating of 1 to
5 on the Saffir-Simpson.

2. If a storm achieves wind speeds of 74 miles an hour, it becomes a…

A. hurricane C. low pressure system
B. tropical depression D. tropical storm
 Bees fly from flower to flower, sipping nectar and collecting grains of pollen.
Bees have a special tongue that sucks up the nectar and a crop in their throat for
storing it until they get back to the hive, where it is turned into honey to use as food.
Many plants depend on bees to spread pollen, helping them to reproduce.
Flowers that attract bees are usually yellow, blue, or purple. Many bees specialize in
one plant species. In areas where different flowering plants bloom at the same time,
keep different bee species from fighting over the same flower!
Honeybees and bumblebees live in colonies or hives. All the bees in the colony
work together for the good of the hive. Each has a job to do: the queen lays the eggs
and the workers build the honeycomb, care for the larvae and collect the food

The following text is for questions 1 to 4

CACTI

Cacti or cactuses are member of the plant family Cactaceae. The word "cactus"
derives from the ancient Greek, kaktos, a name for a spiny plant whose identity is not
certain. Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Most cacti live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama
Desert, one of the driest places on earth because cacti can conserve water by doing many
adaptions. Almost all cacti have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Most species
of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves. The
spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus and providing some
shade.

Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of
western Canada in the north—except for Rhipsalis baccifera, which also grows in Africa and
Sri Lanka. Cacti have a variety of uses: many species are used as ornamental plants and others

Bears
Bears are mammals of the family Ursidae. Bears are classified as caniforms, or doglike
carnivores, with the pinniped being their closest living relatives. Although there are only eight
living species of bear, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout
the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found in the
continents of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

Common characteristics of modern bears include a large body with short and solid
legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonrestrictive claws, and a short tail.
While the polar bear is mostly carnivorous and the giant panda feeds almost entirely on
bamboo, the remaining six species are omnivorous, with largely varied diets including both
plants and animals.

With the exceptions of courting individuals and mothers with their young, bears are
typically solitary animals. They are sometimes diurnal, but are usually active during the night
(nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular). Bears are aided by an excellent sense of smell, and
despite their heavy build and awkward gait, they can run quickly and are adept climbers and
swimmers.

The following text is for questions 9 to 10

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as
lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).

Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along.
Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their
skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.

Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are
cold-blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up. Most snakes
live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most live on
the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.

A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The
Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with
their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The
flying snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its
