DEFINITION OF REPORT TEXT

Definition text report is also almost similar to what is often mentioned in various
books of English at secondary level, "Report is a text the which present
information about something, as it is. It is as a result of systematic observation
and analyzes." [Report is a text that presents information on a case by what it
is. This text is the result of systematic observation and analysis.]

Its social purpose is presenting information about something. They generally


describe an entire class of things, whether natural or made: mammals, the
planets, rocks, plants, countries of region, culture, transportation, and so on.
Thus, the actual descriptive text of the report and have a fairly clear difference,
although both appear to be a "twin brother" though.
In essence, the report usually contains the text that the facts can be proved
scientifically.

B.

Generic Structure of Report.

As with descriptive text, text Report also only have two common structures
[generic structure], namely:

1. General Clasification; general statements that describe the subject of a


report, description, and classification.
2. Description: Tells what the phenomenon under discussion; in terms of parts,
qualities, habits or behaviors; In this section usually gives the phenomena that
occur; both its parts, its properties, habit, or behavior. The point is the translation
of scientific classification are presented with.

C. Language Features

Use of general nouns, eg hunting dogs, rather than particular nouns, eg


our dog;

Use of relating verbs to describe features, eg Molecules are tiny particles;

Some use of action verbs when describing behaviour, eg Emus cannot fly;


Use of timeless present tense to indicate usualness, eg Tropical cyclones
always begin over the sea;

Use of technical terms, eg Isobars are lines drawn on a weather map;

Use of paragraphs with topic sentences to organise bundles of information;


repeated naming of the topic as the beginning focus of the clause.

D. The structure pattern of reports


As stated, there is no one right way to write a report it depends on your subject
and on the purpose of and audience for the report. What we can say with
confidence is that reports are always divided (and often subdivided) into several
headed sections (and sub-sections). Here are some common sections that often
appear in reports:

An abstract (also called executive summary) that very briefly summarises


the whole report (and which should therefore be written last).

An introduction that describes the purpose of the report, explains why it is


necessary and/or useful, and sets out its precise aims and objectives.

A literature review that describes current research and thinking on the


problem or issue. (This section is often incorporated into the introduction.)

A methods (or methodology) section that describes and justifies the


methods used to collect data.

A results (also called findings) section that simply presents the results of
the research (so it may consist mainly of tables, charts, diagrams etc.)

A discussion (sometimes called analysis or interpretation) that analyses


the results. This is often the most important section of a report.

A conclusion that summarises the report, often revisiting the aims and
objectives.


Recommendations, where the writer uses the results and conclusions of
the report to make practical suggestions about the problem or issue being
discussed.

A bibliography (or reference list).

Appendices (Appendix 1, Appendix 2, etc.) where data (e.g. in tables) to


which the report refers is stored.
