Definition of  Report Text

The term report text often also known as informational report. Report, 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 a text report serves to provide information about an event or situation, followed the investigation and careful consideration.

Definition of text report is also fairly 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 as it is. This text is the result of systematic observation and analysis.]

Thus, the actual report and descriptive text have the distinction is quite clear, although they appear to be a "twin brother" though.

In essence, the report text is usually filled with facts that can be proven scientifically, OK ..

Generic Text Structure Report.

As with descriptive text, Report text also has only two common structures [generic structure] are:

General Clasification; statements that describe the common subject of the report, description, and classification.
Description: Tells what the phenomenon under discussion; in terms of parts, qualities, habits or behaviors; This section gives an overview of commonly occurring phenomenon, either of its parts, its properties, habit, or behavior. The point is the elaboration of scientific classification presented.
There is also some information on the generic text structure report, which includes:

General information
Bundles of Specific Information
General information is the part that mentions the general information of the theme of writing. While Bundles of specific information, is the elaboration of general information.

I'm personally more inclined to agree with both generic structure, because it can make students more aware of the way to write text report.

A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia, although it has a smaller relative, called a wallaby, which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and also in New Guinea.

Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long, and very strong back legs and a tail. These are used for sitting up and for jumping.

2. What Is Thunder and Lightning?

Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a cloud and the ground, or from cloud to cloud. A lightning fl ash, or bolt, can be several miles long. It is so hot, with an average temperature of 34,000° Centigrade, that the air around it suddenly expands with a loud blast. This is the thunder we hear.

Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a great height. It forms a type of cloud called cumulonimbus. When the cloud rises high enough, the moisture freezes and ice crystals and snowfl akes are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way down. This rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction between them which produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with this electricity, it discharges it as a lightning flash.
