 Tyrannosaurus Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex, sometimes just called T-Rex, is believed to be the largest

and most fearsome predator on Earth’s land ever to have existed.

This dinosaur once lived in the Cretaceous period approximately 68 to 65

million years ago. The T-Rex lived in a humid, semi-tropical environment, in open
forests with nearby rivers and in coastal forested swamps. The seasons were mild.

Tyrannosaurus Rex was up to 40 feet (12.4 m) long, about 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6

m) tall. The arms were only about 3 feet (1 m) long. Tyrannosaurus Rex was roughly 5
to 7 tons in weight.

As a carnivorous dinosaur, this giant predator most likely ambushed their prey,
and devoured them with jaws full of white sharp teeth. With it’s fast ability to run at an
astonishing speed of 32 mph (50 kmh), a perfect slim and stiff tail that gave it an
excellent balance and allowed it to make quick turns, equipped this gigantic predator
and made it even more deadly, like a killing machine.

3. Dominant 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;

- Linking verbs are used, eg. is, are, has, have, belong to, to give coherence.

- 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.

- Descriptive language is used that is factual rather than imaginative eg. color,
shape, size, body parts, habits, behaviors, functions, uses.

4. Example of Report Text :

 Anaconda

The anaconda is the biggest snake in the world. Also known as the Water Boa,
this giant, semi-aquatic meat-eater lives in swampy areas of tropical (warm) South
America. It spends a lot of time in shallow water, hidden from unsuspecting prey.
Anacondas are related to boa constrictors. They give birth to live young; 20 to 40 baby
snakes are born at one time.

Like all snakes, anacondas are cold-blooded; they are the same temperature as
the environment. They continue to grow all their lives, getting bigger and bigger each
year. The longest anaconda ever found was 37.5 feet (11.4 m) long, there are probably
even bigger anacondas that have not been seen. Anacondas are greenish-brown with a
double row of black oval spots on the back and smaller white markings on the sides.
