elements of text. These elements of text are:
The purpose of the text; why is the text made?, what is text made for by its
writer
The generic structure of the text; analyzing the used structure in
composing the text, in what way is the text constructed by its writer.
The language feature; taking a look at the linguistic characterizations of
the text, what kind of language feature is used to build the text by its
writer.

1. Analytical Exposition Text


What is Analytical Exposition?
1. Definition of Analytical Exposition

phenomenon surrounding. Its social function is to persuade the reader
that the idea is important matter.
2. Generic Structure of Analytical Exposition

Using Simple Present Tense

4. Examples and structures of the text


Cars should be banned in the city
Thesis

Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know,


cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and
other accidents.

Arguments

Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the


pollution in the world.
Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illnesses such as
bronchitis, lung cancer, and triggers off asthma. Some
of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from
them.
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander
everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the
city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads
biggest killers.
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you
may find it hard to sleep at night, or concentrate on
your homework, and especially talk to someone.

Reiteration

In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city


for the reasons listed.

Example of Analytical Exposition


A. Is Smoking Good for Us?
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About
50 thousands people die every year in Britain as direct result of
smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly
a quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we
smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung
cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the
risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of
bronchitis are people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half
times more likely to die of heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop
bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non smoker
breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked
fifteen cigarettes.

SMA Students Modul of English

SMA Students Modul of English

Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do


make much money from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good
for every body else.
Notes on the generic structure:
From the generic structure, what make big different is that analytical
exposition ends with paragraph to strengthen the thesis while
hortatory makes a recommendation for readers.
Thesis: This pre-conclusive paragraph states the writers point of
view about the topic discussed. Writer has show himself in clear
position of the discussed topic. Paragraph 1 is the thesis of this
analytical exposition text. It states the fact of the very fatal impact of
the smoking habit. Clearly the writer wants to say that smoking is not
a good habit.
Arguments: Presenting arguments in analytical exposition text is as
important as giving conflict plot in narrative text. The series of
argument will strengthen the thesis stated before. In this example of
analytical exposition text, paragraph 2 and 3 are the detail
arguments presented in a reporting fact to support that smoking is
not good even for smokers themselves. Furthermore, people who do
not smoke but they are in smoky area have the bad effect too from
the smoking habit.
Reiteration: This end paragraph actually is restating the thesis. It is
something like conclusive paragraph from the previous arguments.
The last paragraph of this example of analytical exposition points
again that smoking is not good for smokers and people around
smokers. However smoking is very good for Cigarette Companies
B. Opportunity in the Global Financial Crisis
US financial crisis and its contagion to Europe and the rest of the
world could also create new opportunity for Indonesia in term of
foreign direc investment and the development of basic infrastructure.
As the US, financial crisis has now spread to Europe, the oil-rich
countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Arab Emirate which have
accumulated hundreds of billion of Dollars in their foreign reserve, are
now reviewing their holding or investment vehicle. They are looking for
more diversified investment outside the US and Europe.
Because of unfavorable political developments in Thailand and
Malaysia over the past few months, Indonesia which has largely
Muslim population could become one of these oil-rich countries'
favorite place for foreign direct investment. That wil be true if the
conditions, legal and market infrastructures are conducive for Islamic
financial instruments.
The government had improved the legal framework with the
recent actment of laws on sharia banking and bonds. The long term
SMA Students Modul of English

SMA Students Modul of English

nature of Islamic bonds could make them the most suitable investment
instrument for Indonesia, as these bonds grant an investor a share in
an asset along with the cash flows and risks commensurate with such
ownership.
The financial crisis that has gripped the globe and weakening
economic growth in the rest of the world will serve to the government
to accelerate the investment reform measures in order to grab the
hidden opportunity in the global crisis.

C. Laptop as Students' Friend
Conventionally, students need book, pen,
eraser, drawing book, ruler and such other
stuff. Additionally, in this multimedia era,
students need more to reach their progressive
development. Students need mobile keyboards
to record every presented subject easily. Of
course it will need more cost but it will deserve
for its function.
First, modern schools tend to apply
fast transferring knowledge because the school
needs to catch the target of curriculum. Every
subject will tend to be given in demonstrative
method. Consequently students need extra
media cover the subject. Since there is a
laptop on every students desk, this method
will help student to get better understanding.
Secondly, finding an appropriate laptop is
not difficult as it was. Recently there is an
online shop which provides comprehensive

SMA Students Modul of English

SMA Students Modul of English

information. The best is that the shop has service of online shopping.
The students just need to brows that online shop, decide which
computer or laptop they need, and then complete the transaction.
After that the laptop will be delivered to the students' houses. That is
really easy and save time and money.
From all of that, having mobile computer is absolutely useful for
students who want to catch the best result for their study. Buying
laptop online is advisable because it will cut the price. This online way
is recommended since online shop also provides several laptop types.
Students just need to decide which type they really need.
D. Career in Translation

meaning and not the word. According to Nida, such translation is called
dynamic equivalence translation. It tries to bring the precise message
in different language.
Many people like to watch Hollywood movie but many get trouble
in understanding to the actors' dialogue. So the way they get the
understanding about the movie is reading the translating text running.
If Hindi translation is provided, it will bring the better understanding for
Indian moviegoer. Hollywood movie spread over other Asia countries.
Therefore, Arabic translation, Indonesian translation and Farsi
translation are widely needed and that is a big chance for English
master in that countries.
India is likely being an English speaking country. India translation
will grow better and. It seems Indonesia, Malaysia and Filipina will
reach that mark too soon. Translation job will be great in amount and
that is good development for translating job seekers.

Example of Narative
A. Queen of Arabia and Three Sheiks
Maura, who like to be thought of as the most beautiful and powerful
queen of Arabia, had many suitors. One by one she discarded them, until her
list was reduced to just three sheiks. The three sheiks were all equally young
and handsome. They were also rich and strong. It was very hard to decide
who would be the best of them.
One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the three
sheiks. As they were about to have dinner, Maura asked them for something
to eat. The first gave her some left over food. The second Sheik gave her
some unappetizing camels tail. The third sheik, who was called Hakim,
offered her some of the most tender and tasty meat. After dinner, the
disguised queen left the sheiks camp.
The following day, the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her
palace. She ordered her servant to give each one exactly what they had
given her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of delicious meat,
refused to eat it if the other two sheiks could not share it with him.
This Sheik Hakims act finally convinced Queen Maura that he was the
man for her. Without question, Hakim is the most generous of you she
announced her choice to the sheiks. So it is Hakim I will marry.

B. The Smartest Parrot


Once upon time, a man had a wonderful
parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The
parrot could say every word, except one
word. The parrot would not say the name of
the place where it was born. The name of
the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the
smartest parrot but he could not understand
why the parrot would not say Catano. The
man tried to teach the bird to say Catano
however the bird kept not saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to
the bird but then he got very angry. You
stupid bird! pointed the man to the parrot.

kill you. The bird kept not to say the word of Catano.
One day after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say
Catano, the man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the
parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There were four old chickens for
next dinner You are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them Said the
man angrily. Then he continued to humble; You know, I will cut the chicken
for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot. After
that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the
door and was very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the
chicken house. There were three death chickens on the floor. At the moment,
the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old chicken; Say

D. Cinderella 1
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived
with her step mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They
treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the
hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and
pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the other
hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many
handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the
kings son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and
spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day
of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help
crying after they had left.
Why are crying, Cinderella? a voice asked. She looked up and saw her
fairy godmother standing beside her, because I want so much to go to the
ball said Cinderella. Well said the godmother,youve been such a
cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do
go to the ball.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and
mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderellas
raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she
gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. Now, Cinderella, she said; You
must leave before midnight. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again
with the kings son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran
toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper
was left behind.

A few days later, the king son proclaimed that he would marry the girl
whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it
was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it.
In the end, the kings page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her
foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The kings son was overjoyed to
see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working in the field. The
tiger was very surprised to see a big animal listening to a small animal. The
tiger wanted to know more about the big animal and the small animal.
After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo; you are so big
and strong. Why do you do everything the man tells you? The buffalo
answered; oh, the man is very intelligent.
The tiger asked; can you tell me how intelligent he is?. No, I cant tell
you, said the buffalo; but you can ask him
So the next day the tiger asked to the man; Can I see your

Writing something for your business can be
pretty intimidating. Well, you don't have to.
Here's a simple checklist to follow. I'm not
saying that following these rules will make your
company the next Google, but it will help.
Firstly, take the topic of benefits, not features.
Your customers don't care about you. They want to
know "What's in it for me?"
Secondly, write your benefit like you talk it.
Use regular words. Read aloud what you've
written. How does it sound?
Thirdly, lose the weak words. Don't describe
how your company may, might or should help
customers but talk about how your company will.
Fourthly, Use a nice rhythm. Some sentences
are long and some are short. Mix them up and
keep things interesting.
Fifthly,re-read what you've done before
publishing. Edit it necesarily. It's so easy to make
mistakes which you don't notice the first time
through.

The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear


Power

Nuclear power is generated by using


uranium which is a metal mined in various
part of the world. The first large scale of
nuclear power station was opened at
Calder Hall in Cumbria, England in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines
have nuclear power plant for engine.
Nuclear power produces around 11% of
the world's energy needed, and produces
huge amounts of energy. It cause no
pollution as we would get when burning
fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear
plant are as follow:

It costs about the same coal, so it is not


expansive to make.

It does not produce smoke or carbon


dioxide, so it does not contribute to the
greenhouse effect.

Example of Explanation Text


A. Tsunami
The term of tsunami comes from the Japanese which means harbour
("tsu") and wave ("nami"). A tsunamigk is a series of waves generated when
water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and
vertically displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of
the earth's crust can occur at plate boundaries.
Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating
tsunamis, and occur where denser oceanic plates slip under continental
plates.
As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to
regain its equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by
the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea
keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area.
(simplified from www.panda.org)

B. How Day and Night Happen


The sun seems to rise in the morning, crosses the sky during the day
and sets at night. However the sun does not actually move around the earth.
Earth's turning on its axis makes it look as if the sun is moves.
The earth makes a complete turn on its axis for 24 hours. It is called as
rotation. It causes day and night. The earth also moves around the sun. It
takes 365 days or a year. This process is called revolution. The revolution
process causes the changes of the season

C. Why Summer Daylight is Longger than


Winter Daylight
In the summer, the amount of daylight
that we get is more than we get in winter. This
is not because as much people think we are
closer to the sun but because of the tilt of the
earth.
The earth is actually closer to the sun in
winter than it is in summer but you would be
forgiven for thinking that this can not be true
after looking out of your window on a cold and
frosty morning.
It seems strange that as the earth get
closer to the sun during its orbit then the
amount of daylight that we get decrease. But
that is the case. It is the tilt of the earth that
determine the amount of daylight that we get
and so the length of time that for us the sun is
above the horizon.

Thesis

In all discussion over the removal of lead from


petrol ( and the atmosphere), there doesnt seem to
have been any mention of the diffence between
driving in the city and in the country.

Arguments

While I realise my leaded petrol car is polluting the


air wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel
through the country,where you only see another car
every five to ten minutes,the problem is not as
severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads.
Those who want to penalise older , leaded petrol
vehicles and their owners donnt seem to appreciate
thet in the country there is no public transport to
fall back upon and ones own vehicle is the only way
to get about.

Recomendation

I feel that country people, who often have to travel


huge distances to the nearest town and who already
spend a great deal of money on petrol,should be
treated differently to the people who live in the city

A. Watch your Kids While Watching TV


Television becomes one of the most important devices which takes
place in almost houses. It can unite all members of the family as well as
separate them. However, is it important to know what your kids are
watching? The answer is, of course, absolutely "Yes" and that should be done
by all parents. Television can expose things you have tried to protect the
children from, especially violence, pornography, consumerism and so on.
Recently, a study demonstrated that spending too much time on
watching TV during the day or at bedtime often cause bed-time disruption,
stress, and short sleep duration.
Another research found that there is a significant relationship between
the amount of time spent for watching television during adolescence and
early adulthood, and the possibility of being aggressive.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids
who watch TV a lot and being inactive and overweight.
Considering some facts mentioning above, protect your children with
the following tips:
Limit television viewing to one-two hours each day
Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their own bedrooms
Review the rating of TV shows which your children watch
Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening in the
show
Notes on the Generic Structure of this Hortatory
Exposition example
Firstly, we have to always remember that the social function of
hortatory exposition text is driving the readers to act like the
writer thought as stated in the text. Then the purpose of this
hortatory is influencing and persuading the readers by presenting
the supporting arguments. In many social activities, hortatory is
applied for writing recommended thought, sales letter,
advertising, speech campaign, and news advertorial.
Thesis: The writer's thought is presented as thesis which is
proven with several arguments. In the first paragraph, the writer
points his thought about the importance of accompanying
children while they are watching TV show. It is important to
protect the children from the bad influences of TV show.
Arguments: The next paragraphs show the writer arguments in
supporting his thesis. It is supported by various researches that
there are a great relationship between watching TV and the
watcher's personality. One study describes that much time in
watching TV can cause bed-time disruption. The others show the
SMA Students Modul of English

35

SMA Students Modul of English

35

possibility of becoming an aggressive character because of


watching television too much.
Recommendation: After stating the thesis and proving with
various arguments, the text is completed with the writer's
recommendation on how the parents should protect the children
from the bed effect of watching TV.
Basically, both hortatory and analytical exposition have the
similar position. Both take place as argumentative essays. Both
show how important idea of the writer to be known. However the
last paragraph of the essay usually make the difference from
hortatory and analytical exposition. If it is a hortatory text, it will
be ended with a strong recommendation while for analytical
exposition, it will be closed with restatement of the writer's first
paragraph.
B. More Dust Bins is Cleaner; example of hortatory
To improve comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be an
increasing number of dust bins.
When we look at classroom, school corridors and schoolyard, there
papers, mineral water cops, straws, and napkin everywhere. The condition of
unseemliness really hinders learning and teaching environment. They can be
filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for mosquito to
spread out.
Anyway I notice that most of the students have responsibilities for their
school environment. They put their litter on the proper place but some of
them are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of the dust
bins in the school are not enough. More dust bins should be put beside each
step, outside of the classrooms and some along of the corridors. Probably
one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw
away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not have
problem of discomfort any more. So provide more dust bins and school will
be very clean and become a very nice place to study.
C. Where should be after High School?; a hortatory text
The National examination result will be publicly enounced in next short
time. Euphoria will flood for those who get success. In the other hand, It will
be sorry to hear that there are some of them do not succeed in their national
final examination. For those who succeed soon will think to decide; where
will they be after graduating high school? Actually it will be easy to decide
for those has been arranged and thought earlier but for those have not
planed yet, it will be quite confusing.

Continuing study or looking for work is the


primary choice among them. When they think
about continuing study, they will think hard about
the time and cost. How long the higher study will
last? And how high is about the cost. In the same
way, when they think about straightly seeking job,
what skill and competence they have got is a big
matter of questioning. So, doing both choices in
the same time is an alternative.
Continuing study as well as seeking job is
possibly done but it will be hard for them.
Conventionally studying in the university needs
much time to spend especially in the first year. It is
true because they have to do and adapt a lot of
things in their new higher school. it will be very
hard to looking for job. Therefore it should come to
their mind of continuing studying at higher school
from their own home. As result, the available time
will be more flexible for them. Then it will be very
possible to seek job and get the appropriate one.
This type of studying is publicly known as distance
learning.
As the alternative method of studying,
besides the conventional studying which students
and the lecturer have to meet in the fixed time and
place regularly, distance learning provides
possibility to grow better. Possibly working and
studying surely will create high quality graduate.
Distance learning should appear as a considerable
choice for them.

When the water is shallow enough for the
birds to reach the fish, the formation breaks up as
each bird dips its bill into the water to scoop up its
meal. As the bird lifts its head, the water drains
from its bill leaving the fish which are then
swallowed.
Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds,
Fossils of this genus have been found dating back
40 million years.

two sons. They went to London. They saw their travel agent and booked their
tickets. They went to the British Embassy to get visas to enter Britain. They
had booked fourteen days tour. This includes travel and accommodation.
They also included tours around London
They boarded a large Boeing flight. The flight was nearly fourteen hours.
On the plane the cabin crews were very friendly. They gave them news paper
and magazine to read. They gave them food and drink. There was a film for
their entertainment. They had a very pleasant flight. They slept part of the
way.
On arrival at Heathrow Airport, they had to go to Customs and
Immigration. The officers were pleasant. They checked the document
carefully but their manners were very polite. Mr. Richard and his family
collected their bags and went to London Welcome Desk. They arranged the
transfer to a hotel.
The hotel was a well-known four-star hotel. The room had perfect view
of the park. The room had its own bathroom and toilet. Instead of keys for
the room, they inserted a key-card to open the door. On the third floor, there
was a restaurant serving Asian and European food. They had variety of food.
The two week in London went by fast. At the end of the 14-day, they
were quite tired but they felt very happy.

both recount and narrative text. In writer's point of view, the thing is an

experience. It can be what the writer has done,


hear, read, and felt. Composing recount and
narrative is retelling the experiences of the past
event to be a present event.
What does recount differ from narrative?
The easiest way to catch the difference is
analyzing the generic structure. Recount text
presents the past experiences in order of time
or place; what happened on Sunday, then on
Monday, the on Tuesday. In simple way, recount
describes series of events in detail. It does not
expose the struggle on how to make them
happen. The event happened smoothly. On the
other hand, narrative introduces crises and how
to solve them. Narrative text always appear as a
hard potrait of participant's past experience. It
reveals the conflict among the participants.
Cinderella's conflicts with her step mother and
sister are the example. The conflict is the most
important element in a narrative text. Narrative
without comflicts is not narrative any more.
C. Visiting Bali
There were so many places to see in Bali
that my friend decided to join the tours to see
as much as possible. My friend stayed in Kuta on
arrival. He spent the first three days swimming
and surfing on Kuta beach. He visited some tour
agents and selected two tours. The first one was
to Singaraja, the second was to Ubud.
On the day of the tour, he was ready. My
friend and his group drove on through
mountains. Singaraja is a city of about 90
thousands people. It is a busy but quiet town.
The street are lined with trees and there are
many old Dutch houses. Then they returned
very late in the evening to Kuta.
The second tour to Ubud was a very
different tour. It was not to see the scenery but
to see the art and the craft of the island. The
first stop was at Batubulan, a center of stone
sculpture. There my friend watched young boys
were carving away at big blocks of stone. The
next stop was Celuk, a center for silversmiths

D. My Horrible Experience
Let me remind you my experience during an earthquake last week.
When the earthquake happened, I was on my car. I was driving home from
my vocation to Bali.
Suddenly my car lunched to one side, to the left. I thought I got flat tire.
I did not know that it was an earthquake. I knew it was an earthquake when I
saw some telephone and electricity poles falling down to the ground, like
matchsticks.
Then I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by the
rock. Even I could not move my car at all. There were rocks everywhere.
There was nothing I could do but left the car and walked along way to my
house, in the town.
When I reached my town, I was so surprised that there was almost
nothing left. The earthquake made a lot of damage to my town. Although
nothing was left, I thanked God that nobody was seriously injured.

Last month my family and I went to Toraja to attend Grandpas funeral.
It was my first time to go to such a ceremony. We gathered there with our kin
in the ceremony.

Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It took about a week.


Several days before the ceremony was done, grandpas body was kept in a
series of houses arranged in a circular row around an open field called
tongkonan. His corpse was dressed in a fi ne wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First, we slaughtered the pigs
and buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we
wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed in a sandal wood coffin.
Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on an open platform
beneath the granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared the
wooden puppet and a funeral tower called lakian. The next phase of the
ceremony was held in this place. The coffin is borne from the house and
placed in the lakian. During the day, there were also buffalo matches. They
were great matches. In the night, we were feasting, chanting, and dancing.
On the last day, the grandpas coffin were lowered from the funeral
tower and brought up to the mountain side family graveyard. It was followed
by great shouting and excitement from the relatives and the guests. Finally,
we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other puppets
representing the members of a whole family were already there. The funeral
ceremonies made my family and me tired. However, we were grateful
because it ran smoothly.
Questions
1. When did the writer attend the funeral?
2. How long did the writer and his family hold the ceremony?
3. What did they do to the corpse before the funeral was done?
4. What did they do after the corpse was placed in a sandal wood coffi n?
5. What did they do on the last day of the ceremony?
Notes:
A recount text is a text that tells you a part of experience. A
recount text has an orientation, a series of events in
chronological order, personal remarks on the events and a
reorientation that rounds off the sequence of events. In the
text, you find words and phrases used to start, connect a
sentence with the next one, and end your composition. Those

13. Review Text


What is review text
1. Definition
Review is one of text genres. This classification of text types is commonly
based on the structure which used by the writer to compose his text. Each
text type will have different form of generic structure. As I said in my
previous post, review text usually has generic structure as:
2. Generic Structure
Introduction: it is the highlight of the general description about what will
be reviewed. It can be product, services which want to be sold, or just a
site which want to be known publicly. Then it will drive more traffic into
the site.
Evaluation: the second phase is coming inside into the product in
details. It states the parts, uniqueness, quality of the product which will
be known publicly. However too much detail description will teach the
will-buyer and it does not sound good. Evaluating as far as necessary for
the targeted buyer is more genuine. The term of evaluation will not be far
from simple word of good or bad. In this phase reviewer will apply much
evaluative word, valuable, useful, worthy, etc.
Interpretation: after writing about the objective thing of the product, it
is the time for reviewer to write about what he thinks or impresses on the
product. Of course this phase can be done after getting enough
evaluation on the product. It is personal idea about the product.
Frequently to support and strengthen his idea or impression, a reviewer
describes a comparison to other similar product. He states in which side
the product has additional value or honestly admitted that the product
lacks value in certain side.
Summary: this phase is recommending conclusion for reader of the
product. After clearly explanation, a reviewer will make a final comment
whether the product is valuable or not for targeted buyer. This phase is
the worth of the review for reader.

4. Examples and structures of the text

Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix


Pengenalan /
Orientasi

I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the


books will always hold a special place in my heart.

Evaluasi 1

I have to say that of all of the books, however, this was


not my favorite.

Evaluasi 2

When the series began it was as much of a "feel good"


experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories
were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately
satisfying.

Tafsiran
(Interpretative
recount)

Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some


instances this works...you feel a whole new level of
intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end.
I was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book
just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping
pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and
parts of it do seem long, as if we're reading all about
Harry "just hanging out" instead of having his usual
adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an
old house, for example - housekeeping is still
housekeeping, magical or no, and I'm not very
interested in doing it or reading about other people
doing it.
A few other changes in this book - the "real" world
comes much more in to play rather than the fantasy
universe of the previous books, and Harry has
apparently been taken off his meds. I know that he had
a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a
teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character
seemed too drastic. He goes from being a warmhearted, considerate person to someone who will bite
his best friend's heads off over nothing. It just seemed
like it didn't fit with his character, like he turned into a
walking clich of the "angry teen" overnight.

Rangkuman

The "real" story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the


book, and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending
(and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch

SMA Students Modul of English

51

51

and it made me care about the story even more. Still a


really good book, with some editing it would have been
great.
Example of Review text

A. Zenni Optical; a site for eyeglasses


Eyeglasses will become more and more important. It is not only because
for protecting our eyes from the hot light but also for holding the trend.
There are a lot of online sites which provides products of eyeglasses but
Zenni Optical was on FOX news! is just the perfect one.
If we visit the site, we will easily catch various information about
eyeglasses. The site is quite simple but very informative. It is real, easy and
not complicated design. With quick loading this site will bring us quickly in to
what we want.

There is information about Variable Dimension


Frames From Zenni. Titanium, aluminum and rimless frame are available.
The eyeglasses are designed for different users. Eyeglasses for children,
woman and man are available choice. Again, what makes it different is this
site gives the Great Eyeglasses For Less cost. The product can be sold in
cheap price because it has cut the marketing link. It straightly goes to the
end user.

B. Good Translation
Translation is transferring not only words by word but also message to
message. In certain case, it will be quite difficult to make translation. How is
to make good Arabic translation from English phrase of as white as snow
meanwhile there is no snow in Arabian?
The basic requirement of a good translator is mastering resource and
target language with all non-linguistic aspect . If he is an English translator
and wants to make Hindi translation, he should understand well the
language and aspect of India. Similarly, if he works with Farsi translation, he
has to be familiar with linguistics and non-linguistics of Farsian.
However, translation providers can bridge that difficulty. The translation
experts, such as India translation will help to fix the problem. The experts
who have grammatical, lexical, sociolinguistics specialization will match in
transferring the message from one language to another language.

C. Recording Mommy Journey


Life itself is a journey. For Rosemarie, a pretty
young Filipino single mother for 2-year kid, the daily
activities are worthily documented. The site is her
effort to record of what she did, does and will do
daily.
The site consists of several topic; family,
motherhood, shopping, money, love fashion and
shopping. These topics are close related to her own
life. She is not only young but also pretty and she
has a kid. These topics will be useful to her.
Rosemarie is also interested with making money,
internet, business, computer, loan and other
interesting stuff. She is a widely knowledge mom.
The template design of her site is very girly,
pink centered. She has arranged her site very
attractive, fresh and bright. Again, this physical
appearing site must represent her personal mood
because she is a young and pretty mom. I like this
site and you, young mothers, surely will like the site
too.

E. Recommended Software Applications


Software application have grown to their density. A lot of softwares have
been offered to us. They claim that they are the best product. A buyer is
really a king. He/she has so many choices to select which he/she likes most.
In one side, this phenomenon present us comparable software products but,
in the other hands, it make us complicated to choose.
Due to this complex phenomenon of consumer, a review site is
necessary. It will be a recommending bridge between consumer and
producer. A good reviewer will place hes/her self in the middle arena. He/she
will not tend to specially software producer or absolutely consumer. He/she
just presents the real description of the product. He/she will observes to find
the good and bad side of the product. In the last, he/she will recommends
whether the reviewed products deserve to choose or not. That is really
helpful for consumer.

14.Writing job application letters


The job application letter's sole purpose is to get the recipient to read your CV. It should be
clear, concise and straight to the point. Here you are simply telling the employer that you are
worth having a look at.
The application letter should be brief, no more than one page in length. It should be easy to
read and flow through. It should include only the absolute necessary information. Like most
other things, there is a formula that works extremely well for preparing job application letters.
Following we discuss each paragraph and give you some guidelines.

Addressing job application letters:


The style you choose is not important, there are many different styles of job applications and
professional letters, this comes down to personal preference. However somewhere on the top,
whether it is on the right or left hand sides, there should be your address and the date. Following
this, on the left hand side you should address it. Ensure you include the name of the person,
their title, company name, address and any position reference number. This is probably obvious,
but ensure that you spell their name correctly, nothing worse than receiving a letter incorrectly
addressed or misspelled. It gives a poor first impression.

The Introductory Paragraph:


The first paragraph should simply state why you are writing to them. If it is an advertised
position, mention the position title and where it was advertised. If you are "cold calling" a
company then you should specify that you are applying for any current or future employment
opportunities.
An easy way to start this paragraph is with the following statement: " Please find enclosed my
CV, which I am forwarding to you as an application for the position of......."
SMA Students Modul of English

54

SMA Students Modul of English

54

The main body of job application letters:


The main body of the letter should be two to three paragraphs at the most. Here is where you
tell them what you have to offer and why they should read your CV. This is a good time to read
the job advertisement again. In one paragraph (two at the most) you need to summarise your
experience and skills, at the same time, you need to respond to the position requirements as per
the advertisement.
Analyse your career and summarise it in a few sentences, highlight what you specialise in, or
how many years in the industry you might have, or even the level that you have reached. This
paragraph should direct the reader to your CV and should sell you on some unique points that
you might have.
A good way to start this paragraph is with a statement like this: "You will see from my enclosed
CV...." then go ahead and tell them something about your career which will immediately get
their interest.
The next part of the body of the letter should be a brief description of your personal skills.
Again read the advertisement and respond to their needs. If they are asking for someone with
good co-ordination skills, then ensure you mention something to that effect. If it is
communication or perhaps leadership skills they value, then tell them that you have these. Use
adjectives like "demonstrated ability", "well developed", "strong".

Job Application Letters Closing Paragraph:


The closing paragraph should ask for some action from the recipient. This is where you ask for
an interview. It should also state where and how they can reach you, and it should thank the
recipient for giving you the opportunity to apply. You can include things like "should you
require further information....." .
Finish the letter by adding a closing remark, either "yours sincerely", "yours faithfully' or
whatever you feel comfortable with and obeying general letter writing etiquette. Leave a few
spaces for your signature and then place your full name.
Before you mail the application letter, read it over again, making sure that it is perfect. Special
attention should be placed to ensure the letter:

It is not too long.

There are no grammar or spelling errors.

That you have answered the job requirements.

The application letter flows and is easy to read.

You might have to type and edit the letter many times before you are happy with it, but just
remember that the job application letter is just as important as the CV itself. The letter should
invite the recipient to read the resume, in turn the resume should raise enough interest for them
to want to interview you. The Interview is where you will demonstrate your skills and abilities.

15.Similarities and differenties


A. The Differences between Report 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 strengh, 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; colour, lengh,
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.

B. Between Explanation and Procedure Text


Seeing the social function, both procedure and explanation texts
have the similarity in which both describe how to make or done
something. They give the detail description on something, phenomena,
goods, product case or problem.
To see the differences between explanation and procedure, we have
to analyze the dominant language feature and how the texts are used.
Procedure, this text type is commonly called as instruction text. It
uses pattern of commend in building the structure. It use the to infinitive
verb which is omitted the to. It is a kind of instruction text which uses
full commend verb. Procedure is commonly used to describe how to make
something which is close to our daily activity. For example how to make a
cup of tea, how to make a good kite, etc is the best example of the
procedure text. It is such word; first boil water, secondly prepare the cup,
and so on.
Explanation, it is commonly used the passive voice in building the
text. Explanation is such a scientific written material. It describes how

certain phenomenon or event happen. How a tornado form, how tsunami


works are the best example of explanation text. It uses passive pattern in
describing the topic.

C. Between Recount and Narrative


Something which happened in the past is the main resource to
compose both recount and narrative text. In writer's point of view, the
thing is an experience. It can be what the writer has done, hear, read, and
felt. Composing recount and narrative is retelling the experiences of the
past event to be a present event.
What does recount differ from narrative?
The easiest way to catch the difference is analyzing the generic
structure. Recount text presents the past experiences in order of time or
place; what happened on Sunday, then on Monday, the on Tuesday. In
simple way, recount describes series of events in detail. It does not
expose the struggle on how to make them happen. The event happened
smoothly. On the other hand, narrative introduces crises and how to solve
them. Narrative text always appear as a hard potrait of participant's past
experience. It reveals the conflict among the participants. Cinderella's
conflicts with her step mother and sister are the example. The conflict is
the most important element in a narrative text. Narrative without
comflicts is not narrative any more.

Then what is the basic


difference between analytical
and hortatory exposition. In
simple word. Analytical is the
answer of "How is/will" while
hortatory is the answer of "How
should". Analytical exposition
will be best to describe "How
will student do for his
examination? The point is the
important thing to do. But for
the question" How should
student do for his exam?" will be
good to be answered with
hortatory. It is to convince that
the thing should be done

Dust Bin

EXERCISES;
a) Analytical exposition

To improve comfort and cleanliness


at our school, a number of dust bins
should be increased.

SMA Students Modul of English

SMA Students Modul of English

When we look at classrooms,


school corridors and school yard, there
are paper mineral water cups, straws, and
napkins here and there. The condition of
uncleanliness and discomfort really
hinders
learning
and
teaching
environment. Litters thrown carelessly
cause disease, especially empty plastic
cup or glasses. They can be filled out
with water coming from the rain. This
can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to
spread out. Besides, these rubbish can
deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall
and green school yard do not mean
anything litters are scattered everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the
students
in
our
school
have
responsibilities
for
the
school
environment. They put their litters on the
proper places. But some are not diligent
enough to find the dust bins. The
numbers of dust binds in our schools are
not enough. Ore dust bins should be put
beside each of steps, outside of the
classrooms, and some more also the
corridors. Probably one dust bin should
be in every ten meters. So when
students want to throw away their litters,
they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with
sufficient dust bins, we do not have
problems of freak and discomfort any
more. Our school will be very clean and
become a nice place to study.

Learning English
Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix
pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to
your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why
we use songs in language learning.

SMA Students Modul of English

64

SMA Students Modul of English

64

Firstly, the song stuck in my head Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the
last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both
enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the
idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of
repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are
effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually
simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and
can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop
songs and probably many other types dont have precise people, place or time
reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage
harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in
sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as
studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs,
learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and
songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

Smoking in Restaurant
Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is rude,
harmful to others and dangerous for the smokers.
Firstly, smoking in a restaurant is impolite. The smell of the smoke affects all
people and can turn them off their food. People pay to taste good food and not to be
put off by foul smelling smoke.
Another reason smoking should not be allowed in restaurant is the harm it can do
to others. Passive smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a smoker can lead to
asthma attacks and even cancer.

The Importance of Reading


I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say
so? Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world
such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books,
magazine, newspaper, etc.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something
happening in any parts of the world which can we see directly.
Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read
books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short
story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.
The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world. By reading a book
about Irian Jaya we may feel were really sitting in the jungles not at home in our
rooms.
From the facts above, its obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge,
information and also entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly
important in our life.

18. Why is reading very important in our


life? Because..
a) By reading, we can get a lot of
friends, relatives, experience, etc.
b) By reading, we can get little
knowledge but a lot of
entertainment.
c) By reading, we are always relaxed.
d) By reading, we are always happy.
e) By reading we can get a lot of
knowledge, news, information and
entertainment

19. If we want to get knowledge, what


should we do?

About the adverb 'really'.


This adverb as we have seen is very useful in making what you say
stronger. When talking about things you don't like though it can have a
different meaning depending on where you put it in the sentence.
For example:
"I really don't like it!"
This means you have a strong dislike of something.

BUT
"I don't really like it."
This is not very strong. It means that you do not like something, but it is
not a very strong dislike.

Ketika kita merubah kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung,
ada beberapa hal yang mengalami perubahan diantaranya perubahan
tenses, struktur kalimat, pronoun (kata ganti orang), Possessive (kata ganti
kepemilikan), keterangan waktu, dan tempat.
Perubahan pronoun dan possessive tergantung kepada sabjek dan objek
yang dipakai di kalimat langsung/tidak langsung.
Jika kalimat langsung adalah kalimat tanya maka ketika kalimat itu
diulang (kalimat tidak langsung) tidak membentuk kata tanya lagi tetapi
menjadi kalimat berita. Kata penghubungnya adalah if/whether dan what,
why, where, when, who, how. Begitu pula jika kalimat langsung adalah
kalimat perintah maka di kalimat tidak langsung menjadi kalimat berita.
Kata penghubungnya adalah (+) to infinitive/V1, (-) not to infinitive/V1

C. PASSIVE VOICE (kalimat pasif)


Kalimat
passif
adalah
kalimat
dimana
subjek
dikenai
tindakan/pekerjaan, sedangkan kalimat aktif subjeklah yang melakukan
tindakan/pekerjaan.
Hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam merubah aktif ke pasif adalah:
Yang dapat dijadikan kalimat passive adalah Verbal Sentence (kalimat
yang predikatnya kata kerja/V)
Verbal sentence yang dapat dirubah ke Passive Voice (kalimat pasif)
adalah kalimat yang memiliki objek penderita.
Perubahan aktif ke pasif atau sebaliknya tidak merubah makna kalimat.
Perubahan iti terjadi hanya pada struktur kalimatnya saja.
Ciri kalimat pasif/passive voice adalah to be + V3 dan kata by (kata ini
bukan merupakan syarat yang harus ada dalam kalimat pasif )
Contoh : (Aktive) Bajuri loves Oneng
S
P/V1
O
(Passive) Oneng is loved by Bajuri.
S
P/V3
(Active) I bought a new motorcycle last week.
(passive) A new motorcycle was bought by me last week
Rumus Pola aktif-pasif untuk semua tenses
