Today you will learn about the communicative purpose of a report text, the generic structure and the language features of the text. Are you ready for reading the explanation?
5
Report text is a type of written text that provides detailed and factual information about a particular subject or topic. The purpose of a report text is to describe something systematically and objectively, based on research, observations, or general knowledge.
6
General Classification: This section provides an introduction to the subject of the report. It typically includes a general statement about the subject and its classification (e.g., "Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates").
Description: The description part elaborates on the subject’s details, including characteristics, behaviors, appearances, and other relevant information. This section is usually divided into several sub-sections focusing on different aspects of the subject (e.g., "Physical Characteristics," "Habitats," "Behavior").
7
Generalized Participants: The subject is often generalized rather than specific (e.g., "Lions" instead of "The lion in the zoo").
Present Tense: Report texts typically use the simple present tense since they describe things that are generally true or universally accepted facts (e.g., "The sun rises in the east").
Technical Terms: Specific vocabulary related to the subject matter is often used, especially in scientific or technical reports (e.g., "photosynthesis," "mammals").
Descriptive Language: Adjectives and phrases are used to describe the characteristics, features, or behaviors of the subject (e.g., "tall trees," "sharp claws").
Passive Voice: Sometimes passive constructions are used to emphasize the information rather than the doer (e.g., "The process is known as evaporation").
8
Report Text: It covers a broad topic, providing information that applies to a whole group or class of things (e.g., “Cats” or “Temple”).
Descriptive Text: It narrows down to describe one specific person, place, or thing in great detail (e.g., “My Pet Cat” or “Prambanan Temple”).
