Apa itu Report Text?

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

Report text adalah teks yang menunjukkan informasi tentang sesuatu pada umumnya dan apa adanya. Report text ini merupakan hasil dari observasi penelitian dan analisa sistematis. Namun terkadang orang-orang menganggap report text ini sama atau serupa dengan Descriptive Text. Lalu apa bedanya Report Text dengan Descriptive Text?

Berbeda dengan Report text yang menunjukkan informasi secara umum, Descriptive text menunjukkan informasi secara menyeluruh dan detail (khusus). Jadi kalian cukup ingat saja bahwa Report text = umum dan Descriptive Text = khusus.

Karena menunjukkan sebuah hasil penelitian ilmiah, maka report text ini biasanya merupakan hal seputar hal-hal ilmiah di sekitar kita, misalnya fenomena alam, tata-surya, planet, hewan, tanaman, kehidupan sosial manusia, negara, budaya, transportasi dan lain sebagainya.

Contoh Report Text 1

Bicycle

          A bicycle, is called a bike or cycle, is a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. A bicycle rider is called a cyclist, or bicyclist.

          Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century in Europe and as of 2003, more than 1 billion have been produced worldwide, twice as many as the number of automobiles that have been produced. They are the principal means of transportation in many regions. They also provide a popular form of recreation, and have been adapted for use as children's toys, general fitness, military and police applications, courier services, and bicycle racing.

          The basic shape and configuration of a typical upright or "safety bicycle", has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885. But  many details have been improved, especially since the advent of modern materials and computer-aided design. These have allowed for a proliferation of specialized designs for many types of cycling.

          The bicycle's invention has had an enormous effect on society, both in terms of culture and of advancing modern industrial methods. Several components that eventually played a key role in the development of the automobile were initially invented for use in the bicycle, including ball bearings, pneumatic tires, chain-driven sprockets, and tension-spoked wheels.
