Hi everyone, this time we will learn about the Generic structure of report text. Beforehand, we must first understand what is report text? let's look at the following explanation:
GENERIC STRUCTURE OF REPORT TEXT
Report text is a text that aims to provide an overview about something. Subjects that are described can be objects as living things, such as plants, humans, animals, etc. and also can in the form of inanimate objects and not natural.The report text consists of two parts, namely general classification and description. OnGeneral classification section, there is information about the introduction of matters become the subject of discussion in the report text. This section can be brief introduction, and can also be a brief definition. While in the description section, you can find information about the description of things which is the subject of discussion. The description can be parts, quality, habit or behavior if that is the subject of discussion is a living creature, and the use if that is the subject of discussions not a living being.
The following is an example of a report text as a reading exercise
SNAKE
Snakes are a group of legless and long-bodied reptiles that are widespread throughout the world. Scientifically, all types of snakes are grouped in one suborder, namely Serpentes and are also members of the order Squamata (scaly reptiles). Many species of snakes can swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly flexible jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca.
Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on smaller land masses. Additionally, snakes which inhabit sea are widespread throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. More than 20 families are currently recognized, comprising about 500 genera and about 3,400 species. They range in size from the tiny, 10.4 cm-long thread snake to the reticulated python of 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length.
Most species are nonvenomous and those that have venom use it primarily to kill prey rather than for self-defense. Some possess venom can cause painful injury or death to humans. Nonvenomous snakes usually swallow their preys alive or kill by constriction.
Below is a division of the structure of the report text:
