Procedure
Procedures help/tell us to do a task or make something. They can be a set of instructions or directions e.g. step by step method to germinate seeds. The text below is an example of a procedure. The labels show the structure and language features of procedure text.
Procedures begin by outlining an aim or goal.
Sometimes there is a list of the materials and equipment needed.
The steps are then listed in order.
Writing procedures
When writing procedures you should:
• use present tense e.g. spray
• include technical terms when you need to e.g. friable
• use words that tell the reader how, when and where to perform the task e.g. fill, firmly.
Teks procedure adalah teks yang menyampaikan tentang tata cara melakukan sesuatu. Cara penulisannya pada umumnya dalam bentuk poin per poin.
Struktur dari teks procedure, yaitu:
1. Tujuan kegiatan
2. Bahan-bahan
3. Langkah-langkah

Example of procedure
How to Make Orange Tea

6. After pouring the orange tea in a glass, you can decorate the brim of the glass with left over orange pieces.
Recount
Recount adalah teks yang menyampaikan serentetan peristiwa/ kejadian /pengalaman yang terjadi pada waktu lampau. Kadangkala recount juga bermaksud untuk menghibur pembaca.
Generic structure:
Orientation - event (s) - reorientation.
Maksud dari event (s) adalah bahwa even yang terjadi bisa lebih dari satu, sedangkan Reorientation adalah optional (boleh ada boleh tidak).
Tenses yang digunakan selalu Past Tense. Kenapa? Tentu saja karena recount mencerikan peristiwa yang terjadi di masa lampau. Sudah jelaskan?.
Namun tidak semua peristiwa yang terjadi pada masa lampau adalah recount. Coba simak artike
Language features Recounts are written in the past tense.:
They can be written in the first or the third person
1st person It is happening to the person writing the recount i.e. I went to the park.
3rd person. An observer is telling it. Tom went to the park, there he saw a pond.
The connectives in a recount are often: Next, then, after that.

Report Text
Definition of Report
Report is a text which presents information about something, as it is. It is as a result of systematic observation and analysis

Generic Structure of Report
1. General classification: Stating classification of general aspect of thing; animal, public place, plant, etc which will be discussed in general
2. Description: Describing the thing which will be discussed in detail; part per part , customs or deed for living creature and usage for materials

Language Feature of Report
• Introducing group or general aspect
• Using conditional logical connection; when, so, etc
• Using simple present tense
The Differences between Report Text and Descriptive Text
Some text types are quite difficult to differ. Such report and descriptive text have the similarity in the social function and generic structure. However if they are analyzed carefully, the slight difference between the two text types will reveal.
The purpose of the two texts are to give the live-description of the object/participant. Both the report and descriptive text try to show rather than tell the reader about the factual condition of the object. Readers by themselves will catch the impressive point of the object through that showing writing style. What make different, between report and descriptive text, is the scope of the written object. If we talk about, eg: bicycle, it belongs to report text. It will talk about bicycle in general; its parts, physical strength, function for certain people or other general characters of bike. In the other hand, descriptive text will convey more focus, for example "my bicycle" with its specific characters; color, length, wheel style, etc.
In short, report text describes the way of certain things and frequently refer to phenomenon of nature, animal and scientific object. Mostly, report is written after getting careful observation. This scientific and technical sense make clearer difference from descriptive text. The way of descriptive text in showing thing is based on the objective fact of the thing. It describe the specific thing simply as the thing is.

example of report text
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 roam the Earth in the Creataceous period approximately 68 to 65 million years ago.

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.

translated
Teks report adalah teks yang menyampaikan informasi tentang sesuatu (objek, makhluk hidup, kejadian alam) secara apa adanya, sebagai hasil pengamatan yang sistematis dan berdasarkan fakta.

Ciri yang membedakan teks report dan teks descriptive adalah cara penulisannya. Teks report hanya menjelaskan topik teks secara umum, sedangkan teks descriptive menceritakan topik teks secara lebih terperinci.

Struktur teks report yaitu:
• General statement: Pernyataan awal yang menyampaikan pada pembaca mengenai topik teks secara umum
• Description: Deskripsi secara umum dari topik teks
• Pernyataan umum yang menerangkan subjek laporan, keterangan, dan klasifikasinya.(General Clasification)
• Deskripsi lanjutan dari General Classification (Description:tells what the phenomenon under discussion ; in terms of parts, qualities, habits or behaviors).

DEGREE OF COMPARISON ( PERBANDINGAN )

There are some rules to help you make comparisons in English.

1 If the adjective (describing word) is one syllable, you can add -er.
For example, small – smaller; big – bigger; nice – nicer.
2 If the adjective has two syllables, but ends in -y, you can change the end to -ier.
For example, lucky – luckier; happy – happier.
3 With other English adjectives of two syllables and more, you can't change their endings. Instead, you should use more + adjective.
For example, handsome – more handsome; beautiful – more beautiful and so on.
4 When you compare two things, use 'than'.
"She's younger than me."
"This exercise is more difficult than the last one."
5 When you want to say something is similar, use 'as – as'.
For example, "She's as tall as her brother" or "It's as nice today as it was yesterday."
6 When you want to say one thing is less than another, you can either use 'less than' or 'not as – as'.
For example, "This program me is less interesting than I thought" or "This program me is not as interesting as I thought."
7 Remember that some adjectives are irregular and change form when you make comparisons.
For example, good – better; bad – worse; far – further.
Using qualifying expressions
You can vary the strength of the comparison by using "qualifying" expressions.
1. Comparing two things
You can use "a lot", "much", "a little", "slightly" and "far" before "more / less than":
"She's a lot more intelligent than him."
"This car is much faster than the other one."
"They are much less wealthy than they used to be."
"He's a little taller than his sister."
"She's slightly less interested in football than him.
"We are far more involved in charity than they are."
When you use these qualifying expressions in English, remember the rules about using -er. If the adjective is one syllable, or ends in -y, add -er:
"He's far taller than her." (NOT "He's far more taller…")
"I'm much lazier than you!"
When the adjective is two syllables and more, you need either "more" or "less":
"He's a little more prepared for the exam than she is." (NOT "He's a little prepared er…")
2. Saying how two things are similar
You can use "almost as … as", "not quite as … as", "(not) nearly as … as", "nowhere near as … as", "twice as … as" and "half as … as" to change the extent of the similarity.
"She's almost as good as you!"
"He's not quite as confident as Susie."
"I'm not nearly as intelligent as her!"
"This painting is nowhere near as famous as the first."
"She's twice as old as him!
"He's half as interesting as you!"

the translate in Indonesia

Ada beberapa peraturan untuk membantu Anda melakukan perbandingan dalam bahasa Inggris.

1 If the adjective (describing word) is one syllable, you can add -er. 1 Jika kata sifat (kata yang menggambarkan) adalah salah satu suku kata, Anda dapat menambahkan-er.
For example, small – smaller; big – bigger; nice – nicer. Sebagai contoh, kecil - kecil; besar - lebih besar; bagus - bagus.
2 If the adjective has two syllables, but ends in -y, you can change the end to -ier. 2 Jika kata sifat memiliki dua suku kata, tetapi berakhir dengan-y, Anda dapat mengubah akhir-IER.
For example, lucky – luckier; happy – happier. Sebagai contoh, beruntung - beruntung; bahagia - bahagia.
3 With other English adjectives of two syllables and more, you can't change their endings. 3 Dengan kata sifat bahasa Inggris lainnya dari dua suku kata dan banyak lagi, Anda tidak dapat mengubah akhiran mereka. Instead, you should use more + adjective. Sebaliknya, Anda harus menggunakan kata sifat lebih +.
For example, handsome – more handsome; beautiful – more beautiful and so on. Sebagai contoh, tampan - lebih tampan; cantik - lebih indah dan sebagainya.
4 When you compare two things, use 'than'. 4 Ketika Anda membandingkan dua hal, gunakan 'daripada'.
"She's younger than me." "Dia lebih muda dari saya."
"This exercise is more difficult than the last one." "Latihan ini lebih sulit daripada yang terakhir."
5 When you want to say something is similar, use 'as – as'. 5 Bila Anda ingin mengatakan sesuatu yang mirip, gunakan 'sebagai /mirip/seperti.
For example, "She's as tall as her brother" or "It's as nice today as it was yesterday." Sebagai contoh, "Dia setinggi saat kakaknya" atau "Ini hari baik seperti yang kemarin."
6 When you want to say one thing is less than another, you can either use 'less than' or 'not as – as'. 6 Ketika Anda ingin mengatakan satu hal yang kurang dari yang lain, Anda bisa menggunakan 'kurang dari' atau 'tidak - sebagai'.
For example, "This programme is less interesting than I thought" or "This programme is not as interesting as I thought." Misalnya, "adalah program ini kurang menarik daripada aku pikir" atau "Program ini tidak semenarik yang saya pikir."
7 Remember that some adjectives are irregular and change form when you make comparisons. 7 Ingatlah bahwa beberapa kata sifat yang tidak teratur dan mengubah bentuk ketika Anda membuat perbandingan.
For example, good – better; bad – worse; far – further. Sebagai contoh, baik - baik, buruk - buruk; jauh - lebih lanjut.
Using qualifying expressions Menggunakan kualifikasi ekspresi
You can vary the strength of the comparison by using "qualifying" expressions. Anda dapat memvariasikan perbandingan kekuatan dengan menggunakan "kualifikasi" ekspresi.
1. 1. Comparing two things Membandingkan dua hal
You can use "a lot", "much", "a little", "slightly" and "far" before "more / less than": Anda dapat menggunakan "a" banyak, "banyak", "sedikit", "sedikit" dan "jauh" sebelum "lebih / kurang dari":
"She's a lot more intelligent than him." "Dia jauh lebih cerdas daripada dia (dia-kata ganti miliknya)."
"This car is much faster than the other one." "Mobil ini jauh lebih cepat daripada yang lain."
"They are much less wealthy than they used to be." "Mereka jauh lebih kaya daripada dulu."
"He's a little taller than his sister." "Dia sedikit lebih tinggi daripada kakaknya."
"She's slightly less interested in football than him. "Dia agak kurang tertarik dalam sepak bola dari dia.
"We are far more involved in charity than they are." "Kami jauh lebih terlibat dalam amal daripada mereka."
When you use these qualifying expressions in English, remember the rules about using -er. Bila Anda menggunakan ungkapan-ungkapan kualifikasi dalam bahasa Inggris, mengingat aturan tentang penggunaan-er. If the adjective is one syllable, or ends in -y, add -er: Jika kata sifat adalah salah satu suku kata, atau berakhir dengan-y, tambahkan-er:
"He's far taller than her." "Dia jauh lebih tinggi daripada dia." ( NOT "He's far more taller…") (TIDAK "Dia jauh lebih tinggi ...")
"I'm much lazier than you!" "Aku lebih malas dari Anda!"
When the adjective is two syllables and more, you need either "more" or "less": Ketika kata sifat adalah dua suku kata dan lebih, Anda perlu juga "lebih" atau "kurang":
"He's a little more prepared for the exam than she is." "Dia agak lebih siap untuk ujian daripada dia." ( NOT "He's a little prepareder…") (TIDAK "Dia prepareder kecil ...")
2. 2. Saying how two things are similar Mengatakan bagaimana dua hal yang serupa
You can use "almost as … as", "not quite as … as", "(not) nearly as … as", "nowhere near as … as", "twice as … as" and "half as … as" to change the extent of the similarity. Anda dapat menggunakan "hampir sama ...", "tidak cukup sebagai ... sebagai", "(tidak)" hampir sama ..., "tempat dekat sebagai ... sebagai", "dua kali ... sebagai" dan "setengah ... sebagai" mengubah tingkat kesamaan.
"She's almost as good as you!" "Dia hampir sama baiknya dengan Anda!"
"He's not quite as confident as Susie." "Dia tidak cukup percaya diri sebagai Susie."
"I'm not nearly as intelligent as her!" "Aku tidak hampir secerdas dia!"
"This painting is nowhere near as famous as the first." "Lukisan ini adalah tempat dekat setenar pertama."
"She's twice as old as him! "Dia dua kali lebih tua seperti dia!
"He's half as interesting as you!" "Dia setengah menarik seperti Anda!"

NARRATIVE TEXT

NARRATIVE TEXT
Narrative Text adalah teks yang berisi tentang sebuah cerita atau dongeng (bisa berupa cerita rakyat (folktale), cerita binatang (fable), Legenda (legend), cerita pendek, dll). Di dalamnya terdapat konflik/puncak masalah yang diikuti dengan penyelesaian. Fungsi utama teks ini adalah untuk menghibur pembaca.

Generic Structure:
Orientation - Complication - Evaluation (optional) – Resolution

Orientation:
berisi pengenalan tokoh, tempat dan waktu terjadinya cerita (siapa atau apa, kapan dan dimana)

Complication:
Berisi puncak masalah/konflik dalam cerita. Sebuah cerita boleh memiliki complication lebih dari satu

Evaluation:
ini merupakan optional (boleh ada boleh tidak), biasanya dipakai untuk membuat jalan cerita lebih menarik.

Resolution:
Pemecahan masalah. Bisa berakhir dengan kegembiraan (happy ending) bisa pula berakhir dengan kesedihan (sad ending)

example of narrative:

The Little Jackal and The Alligator

The little Jackal was very fond of shell-fish. He used to go down by the river and hunt along the edges for crabs and such things. And once, when he was hunting for crabs, he was so hungry that he put his paw into the water after a crab without looking first, — which you never should do! The minute he put in his paw, snap ! — the big Alligator who lives in the mud down there had it in his jaws.

“Oh, dear!” thought the little Jackal; “the big Alligator has my paw in his mouth! In another minute he will pull me down and gobble me up! What shall I do? what shall I do?” Then he thought, suddenly, “I’ll deceive him!”

So he put on a very cheerful voice, as if nothing at all were the matter, and he said, –

“Ho! ho! Clever Mr. Alligator! Smart Mr. Alligator, to take that old bulrush root for my paw! I hope you’ll find it very tender!”

The old Alligator was hidden away beneath the mud and bulrush leaves, and he couldn’t see any thing. He thought, “Pshaw ! I’ve made a mistake.” So he opened his mouth and let the little Jackal go.

The little Jackal ran away as fast as he could, and as he ran he called out, –

“Thank you, Mr. Alligator! Kind Mr. Alligator! So kind of you to let me go!”

The old Alligator lashed with his tail and snapped with his jaws, but it was too late; the little Jackal was out of reach.

After this the little Jackal kept away from the river, out of danger. But after about a week he got such an appetite for crabs that nothing else would do at all; he felt that he must have a crab. So he went down by the river and looked all around, very carefully. He didn’t see the old Alligator, but he thought to himself, “I think I’ll not take any chances.” So he stood still and began to talk out loud to himself. He said, –

“When I don’t see any little crabs on the land I most generally see them sticking out of the water, and then I put my paw in and catch them. I won der if there are any fat little crabs in the water to-day?”

The old Alligator was hidden down in the mud at the bottom of the river, and when he heard what the little Jackal said, he thought, “Aha! I’ll pretend to be a little crab, and when he puts his paw in, I’ll make my dinner of him.” So he stuck the black end of his snout above the water and waited.

The little Jackal took one look, and then he said, — “Thank you, Mr. Alligator! Kind Mr. Alligator! You are exceedingly kind to show me where you are! I will have dinner elsewhere.” And he ran away like the wind.

MEMBEDAKAN NARRATIVE DENGAN RECOUNT

Keduanya memakai simple past tense, yang membedakan untuk recount akan ada series of events saja yang berupa urutan kegiatan yang dilakukan, sementara dalam narrative yang ada complication dimana disana ada konflik antar tokoh dalam cerita.

Pahami isinya dulu. Nah, di dalam teks Narrative, ciri khasnya selalu ada konflik dan penyelesaian di dalamnya. Tanpa adanya konflik, sebuah narrative tidak bisa lagi disebut sebagai narrative.

Contoh konflik dalam hal ini adalah seperti apa yang dialami cinderella degan ibu tirinya. Sedangkan dalam Recount hanya berisi tentang kejadian-kejadian yang datar, seperti apa yang terjadi 4 jam lalu kemudian 3 jam lalu terus 2 jam lalu dan seterusnya, hanya series of events atau rentetan peristiwa saja.

Tapi baik narrative atau recount sama-sama menggunakan Past Tense dan atau teman-temannya (past perfect tense dan past continuous tense)

MEMBEDAKAN DESCRIPTIVE DENGAN REPORT


Ada kesamaan mendasar antara kedua jenis teks tersebut, yaitu sama-sama menjelaskan suatu keadaan dari dari suatu objek. Namun perbedaan diantara keduanya juga sangat jelas, dimana descriptive lebih detail dan spesifik. Secara teknis perbedaan tersebut bisa kita lihat dengan mudah pada judul teksnya.


Misalnya: sebuah teks dengan judul “Hospitals”

Dari judulnya saja kita dapat menentukan bahwa teks ini adalah report. Yaitu report tentang rumah sakit–rumah sakit pada umumnya. Berbeda halnya jika judulnya adalah “Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital” teks ini tidak akan menjelaskan situasi rumah sakit pada umumnya, namun spesifik menjelaskan RSCM (RS. Cipto Mangunkusumo). Have you got it? Gampang bukan?.

Jika kalian masih ingin mendapatkan pemahaman lain mengenai keduanya, simaklah ilustrasi berikut:

Katakanlah saya sedang ingin menulis tentang kucing kesayangan saya. Kemudian saya memberi judul pada tulisan tersebut “Blecky, My Cat” (Kucingku si Blecky). Dalam tulisan tersebut saya menjelaskan secara detail keadaan kucing saya seperti warnanya, berat dan tinggi badannya, jenisnya, serta ciri-ciri khusus yang ada pada Blecky misalnya memakai kalung warna pink, dan sebagainya. Sehingga orang yang membaca tulisan saya itu akan mengenali si Blecky yang ia jumpai di jalan sebagai si Blecky kucing saya. Walaupun mungkin ia belum pernah melihat kucing saya itu. Nah tulisan saya itu bergenre (bertipe) descriptive.

Berbeda halnya jika saya ditugasi guru Biologi untuk mendeskripsikan binatang kucing secara umum. Maka saya akan menulis teks tentang kucing dalam bentuk report dengan judul "The Cats". Yang pasti kalung warna pink seperti punya si Blecky tidak akan saya tulis dalam tulisan kali ini.
