Descriptive text 
 


 1.The Definition and Purpose of Descriptive Text
Descriptive text is a text which say what a person or a thing is liked by visual, auditory, and smell . Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or thing.  We will make it easily by thinking about , (1) propersties; size, colour, shape, purpose, (2) measurement; length, width, mass weight, (3) analogy; is like, resemlbles, (4) location; in above, below, beside, near etc.
 2.The Generic Structure of Descriptive Text
Descriptive text has structure as below: Identification; identifying the phenomenon to be described generally. Description; describing the phenomenon in parts, qualities, or/and characteristics  specificly.
 3.The Language Feature of Descriptive Text 
Using attributive and identifying process. Using adjective and classifiers in nominal group. Using simple present tense.
a.              Using linking verb or verb of senses such as look, smeel, taste, see, seem.
b.             Using three parameter of senses; visual, auditory, and smell.
c.              Using spatial order in which preposition procedes the verb and subjects.
d.             Using multiple tenses, based on the time; past, present, future.  
4. The differenciate between Descriptive and Report 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.

My Cat Danish

Danish is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He is my beloved cat that I had. I really love on him .

He walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat. He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor of only the most expensive brands. Danish is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Danish does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of my friends. After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but endearing, habits.

Strategi Pembelajaran inkuiri

BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1     Latar Belakang Masalah Salah satu masalah yang dihadapi dunia pendidikan Indonesia dewasa ini adalah masalah lemahnya proses pembelajaran yang ada di lembaga pendidikan yang notabennya adalah sekolah pemerintah dan swasta. Dalam proses pembelajaran, si belajar atau peserta didik kurang didorong dan diberikan kesempatan untuk kemampuan berpikir mereka yang menekankan pada proses berpikir secara kritis dan analis untuk mencari dan menemukan sendiri jawaban dari suatu masalah yang dipertanyakan, namun mereka terkesan “dicekoki” dalam proses belajar tradisional yang disebut dengan mengajar yang memusatkan guru sebagai sumber satu- satunya yang dapat digali pengetahuannya (Teacher center). Proses pembelajaran yang ada didalam kelas maupun di luar kelas diarahkan kepada kemampuan anak untuk menghafal informasi tanpa dituntut untuk memahami informasi yang diingatnya itu untuk menghubugkannya dengan sehari-hari sehingga seakan tidak ada korelasinya denga
