REVISON OF REPORT PARAGRAPH

Rainbow

Rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenal that produces the spectrum of light in the sky when the sun shines when it rains. Sequence, the color is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Rainbow produced when light refracts through water droplets in the air. That's why the rainbow is always seen after rain. It's curved in the air as water droplets spherical. But usually the bottom of the rainbow "protected" by the earth. Rainbow phenomenal can also be seen with the back of the sun and spray water on a sunny day.

Rainbow occurs due to refraction of sunlight by the drops. When the sunshine pass through water droplets, such as when it was refracted through a prism of glass. So in the droplets of water, we've got a different color from one side to the other water droplets. Some of the colored light is then reflected from the far side on the droplets of water, again and again out of the water droplets.

PARTICIPLE

PARTICIPLE ADJECTIVE

What Is a Participial Adjective?

The participial adjectives are a major subclass of adjectives.They can be distinguished by their endings, either –er or –ing.  Some exceptions to the rules include misunderstood and unknown, which also function like these special adjectives even though they do not end in –ed. They are called participial adjectives because they have the same endings as verb participles. 

What Is their Function in a Sentence

These adjectives are really meant to function like any other adjective: they help to describe a noun. They might come from a verb form, or they might merely imitate the structure, but they always function as a descriptive adjective. Let’s look at some examples of participial adjectives in sentences below. After each example, the adjective is placed in parentheses. Some example sentences have more than one adjective. 

• The tempting cookie platter made my mouth salivate. (tempting)
• The fascinating book was a thrilling read.  (fascinating, thrilling)
• The interesting story made a compelling point. (interesting, compelling)
• Sally was bored by the conversation. (bored)
• I am tired today, and my work is really tiring. (tired, tiring)
• My frustrating experience at the restaurant made me angry. (frustrating)
• I have been agitated long enough.  (agitated).

These adjectives form a very large portion of all of the adjectives in the English language and help us be more accurate in our description of people, places, things, and experiences when we speak and write. 

Examples of Adjectives Which Come From a Verb

You might be wondering, what is the origin of all of these adjectives? Why do we have so many of these strange words that look like certain verb forms? Some of the participial adjectives that end in –ed have a corresponding verb form, whereas some participial adjectives do not. 

In other words, some adjectives only look like they come from verbs – and we still call them participial adjectives. In this way, “excite” becomes “excited” and “determine” becomes “determined”. However, there is no “to talent” that forms the participial adjective “talented.” It is more common that the participial adjectives that end in –ing have a corresponding verb form. These include annoying, exasperating, worrying, thrilling, misleading, gratifying, and time-consuming. 

Modifying Participial Adjectives

These adjectives do not just come in one form. You can modify participial adjectives to increase or decrease their intensity and use them to compare different nouns. This can be accomplished by using the words very, extremely, less, or by forming comparative and superlative forms. Look at the examples below, using the adjective “annoying:”

• Annoying
• Very annoying
• Extremely annoying
• Less annoying
• More annoying
• Most annoying

In all of these forms, annoying serves as the participial adjective but it is treated differently in each case. Look at a few ways we can use the above treatments of “annoying:” 

• She was so annoying.
• He is extremely annoying.
• It was more annoying to me that he did not show up for the party.
• The most annoying thing was that she did not speak up.

REPORT TEXT

In general, report text is one type of text that include into "factual texts" category. This text also have purpose, generic structure commonly. This text is often called a "twin brother" as descriptive text so there's a lot of students are "confused" about how to distinguish between thoose texts.

Earlier, with just brief and simple I will explain about the differences between them next time; once again it was only a small difference, and almost all the students can understand it. Therefore, to learn what is the report text, let us consider together about Example Of Report Text, Definition, Generic Structure and Purpose :

DEFINITION

The 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. 

So we can conclude, in a language view, a report text is used to serves to provide information about an event or situation, after the investigation and through the multi 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 often called by a "twin brother".

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

GENERIC STRUCTURE

As same as descriptive text,  A report text also has two common structures [generic structure], there are :

1) General Clasification » statements that describe the common subject of the report, common description, and classification.

2) Description » Tells what the phenomenon under discussion; in terms of parts, qualities, habits or behaviors; This section gives us an overview of commonly occurring phenomenon, either of its parts, its properties, habit, or behavior. The point is, presenting elaboration of scientific classification.

There is also some information on the generic text structure report, which includes :

1) General information, is the part that mentions the general information of the theme of writing. 

2) Bundles of Specific Information, give us the elaboration of general information.

I'm personally more tended to agree with the second generic structure, why? because that can make students more understanding how to write a report text.

PURPOSE / SOCIAL FUNCTION

Eveyone knows that each article certainly have a purpose why the article was written. As well as a report text. Some experts say that the purpose of the report is the text is :

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.

So we can concluded, the purpose of the report is to convey information text observations and systematic analysis. The information described in the report text is usually general in nature, be it natural or artificial like a mammals, planets, rocks, plants, state, cultural, transportation, etc.

UPDATE: I updated my posts again... this time I update Examples Of Spoof Text, Definition and Purpose ..........

LANGUAGE CHARACTERISTICS

Each article must have its own language characteristics, if recount text and narrative text tend to have traits using simple past, then how about report text? Okay... here is a common grammar patterns used in the text report, which includes :

1) Use of general nouns, that is, an object (be it alive or dead) of a general nature. Just compare beetwen  "Hunting dogs" and "My dog"​​. Hunting dogs are common, while my dog ​​is more spesific.

2) Use of Relating verbs to describe features, the grammar is also called linking verbs. As to be [is, am, are: present], seem, look, taste, etc.

3) Some use of action verbs when describing behavior, eg Emus can not fly;

4) Use of timeless present tense to indicate usualness, is one time in the simple present markers such as "often, Usually, always" and others. eg Tropical cyclonesalways begin over the sea;

5) Use of technical terms, eg "Isobars" are lines drawn on a weather map; For example, on "music" then, the terms of the music should be there.

6) Use of paragraphs with topic sentences to organisé bundles of information; repeated naming of the topic as the beginning focus of the clause.

EXAMPLE OF REPORT TEXT

Venice is a city in northern Italy. It is the capital of region Veneto. Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area. Venice has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Water”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.

Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.

You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses (“vaporetti”) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.

You can see the amusing city’s landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Mark’s Cathedral or villas of the Veneto. The villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the Republic, are one of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside.

They are surrounded by elegant gardens, suitable for fashionable parties of high society. The city is also well known for its beautiful and romantic view, especially at night.
