I. Understanding Types of Text
Text can be classified into several types. The term of 'type' is sometime stated as 'genre'. These types of text
are;
1. Analytical Exposition 8. Explanation
2. Anecdote 9. Hortatory Exposition
3. Descriptive 10. Report
4. Narrative 11. Spoof
5. Procedure 12. Recount
6. News Items 13. Review
7. Discussion
These classification on type of text are based on analysis of three main 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
Exposition is a text that elaborates the writer‘s idea about the phenomenon surrounding. Its
social function is to persuade the reader that the idea is important matter.
2. Generic Structure of Analytical Exposition
 Thesis: Introducing the topic and indicating the writer’s position
 Argument 1: Explaining the argument to support the writer’s position
 Argument 2: Explaining the other arguments support the writer’s position more
 Reiteration: Restating the writer’s position
3. Language Features of Analytical Exposition
 Using relational process
 Using internal conjunction
 Using causal conjunction
 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.
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 writer’s 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 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. (Simplified from the
jakartapos.com on Oct 9)
NOTES ON Generic Structure:

 Paragraph 1 is THESIS. It introduces the topic of the text which state the potential
opportunity behind the glogal financial crisis.
 Paragraphes 2 and 3 are the ARGUMENTS which support to the opinios stated in the
above thesis.
 Paragraph 4 is REITERATION which restates the thesis in another phrases to point the
writer'opinion.

Snake in the Bath

Abstract How would you like to find a snake in your bath? A nasty one too!
Orientation We had just moved into a new house, which had been empty for so long
that everything was in a terrible mess. Anna and I decided we would clean the
bath first, so we set to, and turned on the tap.
Crisis Suddenly to my horror, a snake’s head appeared in the plug-hole. Then
out slithered the rest of his long thin body. He twisted and turned on the
slippery bottom of the bath, spitting and hissing at us.
Incident For an instant I stood there quite paralysed. Then I yelled for my husband,
who luckily came running and killed the snake with the handle of a broom.
Anna, who was only three at the time, was quite interested in the whole
business. Indeed I had to pull her out of the way or she’d probably have leant
over the bath to get a better look!
Coda Ever since then I’ve always put the plug in firmly before running the bath
water.

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 camel’s 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 sheik’s 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 Hakim’s 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”.

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 king’s 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,”you’ve 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 Cinderella’s 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 king’s 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 king’s 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 king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were
married and live happily ever after.

The tiger asked; “can you tell me how intelligent he is?”. “No, I can’t tell you”, said the buffalo;
“but you can ask him”
So the next day the tiger asked to the man; “Can I see your intelligence?”. But the man
answered; “it at home”. “Can you go and get it?” asked the tiger. “Yes” said the man; “but I am afraid
you will kill my buffalo when I am gone. Can I tie you to a tree?”

B. Writing For Business

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.

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.
(Taken from: www.ictteachers.co.uk)
General statement; stating the phenomenon whic daylight in summer is longer than in winter.
Explanation; it is the tilt of the earth that determines the amount of daylight not the distance of
the earth from the sun.
Focusing generic participant; daylight.
Using chronological connection; then, so, but.

Using pasive voice; you would be forgiven.
Using present tense; the earth is actually closer to the sun.

Thesis In all discussion over the removal of lead from petrol ( and the
atmosphere), there doesn’t 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 donn’t 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
Example of Hortatory Exposition

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 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.

THE PELICAN REPORT

General Clasification The white pelican is one of the most successful fish-eating
birds.
Description The success is largely due to its command hunting behaviour. A
group, perhaps two dozen birds, will gather in a curved arc some
distance offshore. The birds then begin to move forward towards the
shore, beating the water furiously with their wings, driving the fish
before 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.

 adverbs dan adverb phrases untuk

what the writer has done, hear, read, and felt. Composing  adjectives untuk menerangkan
recount and narrative is retelling the experiences of the past nouns, misalnya beautiful, funny,
event to be a present event. dsb.
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 and goldensmiths. After that he stopped a little while for lunch at Sukawati
and on to mass. Mass is a tourist center
My friend ten-day-stay ended very quickly beside his two tour, all his day was spent on the
beach. He went sailing or surfboarding every day. He was quiet satisfied.
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.

E. My Grandpa’s Funeral in Toraja

Last month my family and I went to Toraja to attend Grandpa’s 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, grandpa’s 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 grandpa’s 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 words and phrases are:
• First,
• Then,
• After that,
• Finally,
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.

3. Dominant Language features:
1. Focus on specific participants
2. Using adjectives
3. Using long and complex clauses
4. Using metaphor
Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

Pengenalan / I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold
Orientasi 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 Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this
(Interpretative works...you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time
recount) 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 warm-hearted,
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 cliché 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 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.

Life itself is a journey. For Rosemarie, a pretty young Terfokus pada partisipan
Filipino single mother for 2-year kid, the daily activities are tertentu;
worthily documented. The site is her effort to record of what she Menggunakan:

The site consists of several topic; family, motherhood, seperti bad, good;
shopping, money, love fashion and shopping. These topics are  klausa panjang dan kompleks;

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.
D. Good Young Mother

It is about a young mother. It has a title of yummy mummy. This blog is representative of her
idea of becoming young mother. He pours her thought and opinion on this blog in relating her
position of a mother of kid and a wife of a husband. Beside that, she is trying to monetizing it
This blog has fresh physical appearance. She choose green border of her template. She is
young therefore she has to have a blog look fresh and energetic. She looks to have strong care to her
baby that is why we find her monthly calendar of feeding milk to her baby attaches on the header of
the blog.
She is not only a good mother for her baby but also a good wife for her husband. She expresses
it in her post labeled wedding anniversary. It is a romantic scene. In the last she is monetizing this
blog. It must help her husband support financially the family. It is really a reference blog for every
young mother and wife.
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......."
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.
D. 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.

EXERCISES;
a) Analytical exposition
Dust Bin
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.
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.
1. What is the writer’s intention? To …..
readers to do something good.
3. What is the writer’s argument on a sufficient

2. According to the writer, more dust bins….. in e) Students can throw garbage away easily
every ten meters.

a) should be decorated
a) To buy more dustbins
b) should be painted
b) To hire more gardeners
c) should be placed
c) To use dustbins efficiently
d) are unnecessary
d) To ask parents to give more dustbins
e) are not required
e) To ask students to clean the school yard
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.
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 don’t 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

disease and people should not smoke anywhere, not just in restaurants.

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 we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.
From the facts above, it’s 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.

B. DIRECT - INDIRECT (Reported Speech)
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
Contoh Kalimat
Kalimat langsung/direct Kalimat tidak langsung/indirect
(+) He said, “ I have a present for you in my (+) He said that he had a present for me in
bag.” his bag.
(-) He said, “I do not have a present for you in (-) He said that he did not have a present
my bag” for me in his bag.
(?) He asked, “Do I have a present for you in (?) He asked me if/whether he had a
my bag?” present for me in his bag.

(?) He asked me, “ Why do I have to have a (?) He asked me why he had to have a
present for you in my bag? present for me in his bag.
(!) He ordered/commanded me, “Bring my bag (!) He ordered/commanded me to bring his

(!) He ordered me, “Don’t bring your bag (!) He ordered me not to bring my bag
here!” there.

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

Tenses Active Passive
Simple Present S + V1 S + am/is/are + V3
Simple Past S + V2 S + was/were + V3
Present Continuous S + am/is/are + V-ing S + am/is/are + being + V3

Future Continuous S + will/shall + be + V-ing S + will/shall + be + being + V3
Future Perfect Continuous S + will + have + V-ing S + will +have+been+ being +V3
Past Futurre Continuous S + would + be + V-ing+ S + would + be + being + V3
Past Future Perfect Continu S +would +have+been+V-ing S +would+have+been+ being+V3
Simple Perfect S + have/has + V3 S + have/has + been + V3
Past Perfect S + had + V3 S + had + been + V3
Simple Future S + will/shall + V1 S + will/shall + be + V3
Past Future S + would/should + V1 S + would/should + be + V3
Modal (present) S + may/can/must + V1 S + may/can/must + be + V3
Modal (past) S + might/could/had to + V1 S + might/could/had to + be + V3

kalimat maka setelah anak kalimat ada koma (,).
 Ada 3 tipe conditional sentence :

1. Future Conditional (type 1)
Kalimat yang diucapkan dan kenyataan yang sebenarnya tidak bertolak belakang. Apa
yang diucapkan, itulah yang diharapkan. Kemungkinan harapan terpenuhi di tipe ini
adalah ada (bukan imajinasi) tapi kalau syarat terpenuhi.

2. Present Conditional (type 2)
Kalimat yang diucapkan bertolak belakang dengan kenyataan yang sebenarnya di masa
sekarang. Kalau kalimatnya (+), maka makna/meaning-nya (-) dan sebaliknya.
Kemungkinan harapan terpenuhi di tipe ini adalah tidak ada (hanya imajinasi saja).
Contoh : (+) If I had time, I would go to the beach with you.
(Saya sebenarnya tidak punya waktu sekarang ini sehingga tidak bisa pergi)
