What Is a Report Text?
The first point we should be aware of is the
general definition
and the classification of
each subject that we
intend to write in the form of reported text. But, do not forget that a report text is
different from a descriptive
text. Description text has a function to give an explanation about a specific subject. The following are examples of a report
text and a
descriptive text.
What is the different
between report text and deskriptive
text ?
The different between report text and deskriptive text is the report text
is more general an d for the descriptive text tell a thing with general and to
the spesification for example about a my cat, descriptive text will tell abut
my cat with general until the specifikasion, carasteristic, colour, and other.
But in the report text just tell with general, but nothing tell about the
carasteristic and spesification about a thing

GORILLAS
Gorillas are the
largest of all the primates. A male gorilla can be 180 centimeters tall and can weigh 200 kilograms.
Gorillas are very strong but they do not often
fight. In fact they are peaceful animals. Gorillas
live in small family groups of about 15. In a group there is one strong, older male, some young males,
and a few females with their babies. They
move slowly around a large area of
jungle eating leaves and bushes. In
some ways gorillas are very like humans. When they are happy, they laugh and wave their arms. When they are
angry, they beat their chests. When they
are sad, they cry. But they cry quietly, without any tears. Unfortunately, people hunt and kill
gorillas. They also cut down and burn their
trees. There are now only about 10,000 gorillas left in the world. (Source : Abbs, Brian, et.all. Take Off,
