Definition of Report Text

Term report text often also known as informational report . Report, in the Concise Oxford Dictionary
10th edition , is defined as 1 ) an account is given of a matter after investigation or consideration . 2 )
a piece of information about an event or situation . If concluded , the language of the text is the text
of the report serves to provide information about an event or situation , after the holding of
investigation and deliberation .

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

Thus , the actual report and descriptive text have pretty clear difference , even though both are said
to appear as a " twin brother " though .
In essence , the report contains the text that is usually the facts that can be scientifically proven , OK
..

Generic Structure Report Text .

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

General Clasification ; public statements that describe the subject of the report , description , and
classification .

Description : Tells what the phenomenon under discussion ; in terms of parts , qualities , habits or
behaviors ; This section gives an overview of commonly occurring phenomena ; either of its parts , its
properties , habit , or behavior . The point is the elaboration of a scientific classification presented .

There is also some information on the generic text structure report , which includes :

General information

Bundles of Specific Information

General information is part of the general information of the themes mentioned posts . While
Bundles of specific information , is the translation of the general information .

I myself am more inclined to agree with both the generic structure , because it can make students
more aware of the way to write text report .

Aim Report Text

Each article must have a purpose why it was written . So is the report text . Some experts said that
the purpose of the report is the text :

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 .
If concluded , the purpose of the report is to convey information text observations and systematic
analysis . Report the information described in the text are usually general in nature, be it natural or
buata like mammals, planets , rocks , plants , state , cultural , transportation , and so forth .

Grammar patterns in Report Text

Each article must have its own characteristic language ; when recount text and narrative text tend to
have traits using simple past , then how to report text ? Okay here is the pattern that is commonly
used in the grammar text report , which includes :

Use of general nouns , eg hunting dogs , rather than particular nouns , eg our dog ;

Relating use of verbs to describe features , eg Molecules are tiny particles ;

Some use of action verbs when describing behavior , eg Emus can not 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 organisé bundles of information ; repeated naming of the
topic as the beginning focus of the clause .

Description :

General nouns , that is , an object ( be it alive or dead ) of a general nature . Just compare : Hunting
dogs > < My dog . Hunting dogs are general , while my dog is special .

Relating verbs , the grammar is also called linking verbs . Like to be [ is , am , are : present ] , seem ,
look , taste , and so forth .

Timeless present tense is one of the markers in the simple present time as " often, usually , always"
and others.

Technical terms , that is terms that include the text of the report . For example, on " music " then ,
the terms of music should exist .
