DEFINITION OF PROCEDURE TEXT There are three definitions of "public" about the procedure text: (1) Texts that

explain how something works or how to use instruction / operation manuals eg how to use the video, the computer, the tape recorder, the Photocopier, the fax. (2) Texts that instruct how to do a particular activity eg recipes, rules for games, science experiments, road safety rules. (3) Texts that deal with human behavior eg how to live happily, how to succeed. From the description above, we can underline that the procedure text is (1) Text that explains how something works or text that explains how to use the guidelines for instruction / usage. example: how to use video, computers, copiers, fax etc.. (2) The text shows how to perform certain activities. example: recipes, rules of play, scientific experiments, road safety rules. (3) Text associated with human behavior. example: how to live Courant, successful way. etc. Objective procedure text is telling the reader how to do / make something. Information is presented in a logical sequence of events. These events are usually divided into several separate steps. This text is usually written in the present tense. The most common example is the procedure text recipes. GENERIC STRUCTURE OF PROCEDURE TEXT As well as understanding the above procedure text, generic structure (general arrangement) procedure text also there are three: (1) Goal (purpose or goal) (2) Materials Needed (material / equipment / materials required) (3) Methods or Steps (Methods / steps) Note: In the procedure text in the form of how-to ("Anyway titled how to"), sometimes needed materials (materials needed) are not included. TEXT EXAMPLE PROCEDURE - HOW TO RIDE A BICYCLE Sitting on the bike, make sure you know where the brakes are and how to Operate Them. You have to learn to balance the bike. Find a person who can hold your bike behind you and try to steady it as you pedal. Also find a place to ride that is grassy or such. After practicing for a couple minutes, the person can release his or her hands while you try to keep your balance. When you are ready, ride alone. But first lower the seat until you can sit on it and put both feet flat on the ground. When you are confident you can put your feet on the pedals and coast for a few feet, try not putting your feet down to train your sense of balance. Do this for 30-45 minutes or so, until you have a good feel and some confidence about steering the bike. As you gain experience, raise the seat up so that only your toes can touch the ground while you are seated. This is the more NAMAs height for your seat. Finally, you have to practice. Once you can balance, pedal, start, and stop, you're a bicycle rider. Congratulations!

Definition of Report Text Term report text often also known as informational report. Report, in the Concise Oxford Dictionary 10th edition, is defined as 1) an account is given of a matter after investigation or consideration. 2) a piece of information about an event or situation. If concluded, the language of the text is the text of the report serves to provide information about an event or situation, after the holding of investigation and deliberation. Definition text report is also similar to what is often mentioned in various books in English at the intermediate level, "Report is a text roomates present information about something, as it is. It is as a result of systematic observation and analyzes." [Report is a text which presents information about something is what it is. This text is the result of systematic observation and analysis.] Thus, the actual report and descriptive text have pretty clear difference, even though both are said to appear as a "twin brother" though. In essence, the report contains the text that is usually the facts that can be scientifically proven, OK .. Generic Structure Report Text. As with descriptive text, text Report also only have two common structures [generic structure] is: 1. General Clasification; public statements that describe the subject of the report, description, and classification. 2. Description: Tells what the phenomenon under discussion; in terms of parts, qualities, habits or behaviors; This section gives an overview of commonly occurring phenomena; either of its parts, its properties, habit, or behavior. The point is the elaboration of a scientific classification presented. There is also some information on the generic text structure report, which includes: 1. General information 2. Bundles of Specific Information General information is part of the general information of the themes mentioned posts. While Bundles of specific information, is the translation of the general information. I myself am more inclined to agree with both the generic structure, because it can make students more aware of the way to write text report. Aim Report Text Each article must have a purpose why it was written. So is the report text. Some experts said that the purpose of the report is the text: Its social purpose is presenting information about something. They generally describe an entire class of things, Whether natural or made: mammals, the planets, rocks, plants, countries of region, culture, transportation, and so on. If concluded, the purpose of the report is to convey information text observations and systematic analysis. Report the information described in the text are usually general in nature, be it natural or buata like mammals, planets, rocks, plants, state, cultural, transportation, and so forth. Example Report Text: Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day is a celebration of harvest, thankfulness for peace, and the attempt of Native Americans. It is usually celebrated in late autumn.

In the past, Thanksgiving was celebrated for their rich harvest in New England. In North America, however, it was originally held to thank God for their survival in the new land which was not easy for them. However, in Canada, it had been celebrated as in New England. Now Thanksgiving is celebrated in United States of America and in Canada. Thanksgiving festivals are held every fourth Thursday of November in the U.S. and on the second Monday of October in Canada. It is usually celebrated in four to five days in the North America and for three days in Canada. It is celebrated through families and friends gathering to eat and give good luck. Turkey is the main dish in the thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving parades are also usually held. In Thanksgiving homes are decorated with wreaths, fresh and dried flowers.
