 BAB II
PEMBAHASAN

A. Understanding
Before looking What is the definition of descriptive text as a whole, let us
understandwhat is meant by the word descriptive itself. Descriptive is an adjective that if
wemean in Indonesian means that the description (picture). If you were asked todescribe an
object, it means you have to describe the object in question both in thesize, color and so
forth. According to Wikipedia, is a Descriptive text is: "one kaedahdata processing effort into
something that can be expressed clearly and preciselywith the aim that can be understood by
people who do not directly experience it foryourself." So what is meant by descriptive text is an
article or text that describes theproperties inherent in something, be it humans, animals, plants, or
inanimate objectssuch as houses, cars and so forth.
B. Purpose Descriptive Text
Judging from the above understanding, then in fact we are able to understand whatis the
purpose of descriptive text. Another goal is to describe everything be it human,animal, plant or
inanimate objects with properties attached to it such as size, type,color, and so forth so that the
reader or the reader can figure out what something isout of the picture we convey even though he
has not never seen.

C. Structure Text (Generic Structure)

Descriptive text has its own rules in writing, including in the structure or compositionof
which must be written in order. If you are prompted to create descriptive text, thenmake sure the
structure is as follows

1. Identification: This section - in the first paragraph - the goal is to identifysomething to be

described or depicted. Explanation easy, Identification serves tointroduce the reader
about the object or something that we have described beforewe tell about its properties.
The goal is not to get one of those readers. We want todescribe a car, for example, but the
reader assumed motors. Example: you areasked to describe the new car, then the contents
 of his identification is: My dad justbought a new car. This car is long I craved, but only
now my father bought. (Meansto be portrayed is my car, not the car someone else)
2. Description: This section - in the second paragraph and so on - contains theproperties
inherent in something that you already introduced to the reader in the firstparagraph.
Example (continued on cars above): This is my new car is the latestsports car from
Toyota. Number bench only two, one for the driver and one for passengers, as well as the
door. This car can be sped up to speeds of 500 km / h,almost equal to the speed of Fokker
plane manifold.

D. Characteristics Descriptive Text

These characteristics are important for you to take into account when writing
thedescriptive text is not wrong. So make sure you use the following features whenusing
the genre will write descriptive text:

1. Using the Simple Present Tense. Why use the simple present tense? this isbecause we
will describe a fact or truth that is attached to something or someone. And one of the
functions of the simple present is to illustrate a fact or truth (eg fact:the sun is hot).
Therefore, you should always use the first form of the verb (verb-1).Your example will
illustrate the properties of your new car: The color of my car isblack, it can run up to 500
km / hour.
2. Because of its function is to describe something by explaining its properties,then the text
will be found many descriptive adjectives (adjective), as handsome,beautiful, tall, small,
big, or if the adjective is derived from the verb, then you will findadditional -ve, -ing, -nt
in tow,Example: Create (create)> creative (smart people make something).Interest
(interest)> interesting (something interesting
3. In the descriptive text we will often find Relating verb (copula) which is (as incharacterist
ic number 1). In Indonesian is often interpreted as "is". Because thepurpose or function
descriptive text is to describe, then definitely we will often findthe word was (is). His
name is Andy (his name was Andy), his height is 160 cm(height is 160 cm).
 E. Sample Descriptive Text and explanation.
