Definition

Factual report is a text that explains and elaborate some factual

information relate to particular objects, matter, or thins which
are based on an factual accurances and scientific and
observatory.
Purpose
The purpose of Factual report text is to present information
obout something. they generally describes an entire class of
things, whether natural or made. for example mammals, rocks,
plants, etc.
Generic Structure
1. A general statement
Statement that describe the common subject of report,
common description, and classification
2. A sequenced of Factual report
A sequenced of Factual report contains a Factual report of why
the phenomenon may be created.
Learning Suggestion (Step-step)
1. Identify the reader and set objectives:
- Know your reader
- Decide what factual information the reader needs
- Look at what facts the reader wants to learn
2. Consider the materials, and structures
- Choose a topic that interests the reader

- Plan the structure of the report

3. Follow the rules of writing factual reports
- Prepare a title
Use an introduction to explain the purpose of the factual report
Give background information with strong evidence (e.g. tables,
graphs, charts)
Deliver your conclusions. Summarize the major factual points of
your report
Conclusion
Factual report is a text that explains and elaborate some factual
information relate to particular objects.The purpose of Factual
report text is to present information obout something. Generic
Structure: general statement and a sequenced of factual
reports.
Language Features
1. Introducing group or general aspect. means Focus on generic
participant. so A report text always introduces group or general
aspect and focus on general nouns, such as: Platypus, Bees,
etc.
2. Using conditional logical connection; time words that connect
events to tell when they occur. Such as when, so, but, etc.
3. Nouns and noun phrases are used rather than personal
pronouns. The use of personal pronouns is limited.
4. Most reports are written in the present tense.
5. Action verbs
6. Linking verbs
7. Descriptive language

8. Technical/scientific terms
Example
KOMODO
Do you know what is the largest lizard? This lizard is called
komodo. It lives in the scrub and woodland of a few Indonesian
islands.
Komodo dragon is the worlds heaviest lizard, weighing 150
pounds or more. The largest Komodo ever measured was more
than 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighed 366 pounds (166 kg)
but the average size of komodo in the wild is about 8 feet (2.5
meters) long and 200 pounds (91 kg)
Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs
and a muscular tail. They use their keen sense of smell to
locate decaying animal remains from several miles away. They
also hunt other lizards as well as large mammals and are
sometimes cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragons teeth are almost completely covered by
its gums. When it feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal
culture for virulent bacteria. The bacteria that live in the
Komodo dragons saliva causes septicemia, or blood poisoning,
in its victims. A dragon will bite its prey, then follow it until the
animal is too weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species
and habitat loss.
GEMPA BUMI
An unexpected movement of the Earth's surface is called an
earthquake. When two parts of the earth's surface move
suddenly in relation to each other along a fault line, due to
tectonic forces, an earthquake occurs. A tremendous amount of

energy is released in the form of tremors and vibrations, such

earthquakes are called 'Tectonic Earthquakes'. The point of
origin of an earthquake is called the 'focus', while the point
directly above it, on the surface of the earth is called the
'epicentre'. Owing to the strong vibrations around the point of
origin, the degree of destruction is greater around the
epicentre. The branch of knowledge that deals with the study of
earthquakes is called Seismology, and the experts who study
seismic waves are called Seismologists.
There are three types of Seismic waves that spread in all
directions from the focus. They are the P. S, and L waves.
The compressional waves are the first to reach the earthquake
recording station as they travel 1.7 times faster than the shear
waves and are therefore called 'P' (Primary) waves, while the
shear waves are called 'S' (Secondary) waves.
The primary waves cause the particles of rock to vibrate
forwards and backwards in the direction of the waves.
Secondary waves, on the other hand cause the particles to
oscillate at right angles to the direction of the waves. When P
and S reach the surface of the earth, they get converted into 'L'
long waves that travel along the surface, vibrating horizontally
at right angles to the direction of the waves called 'Love waves'
or Rayleigh waves as they also travel like sea waves. The most
violent shocks and subsequent destruction is caused by the L
waves.
While the S waves cannot pass through liquids, the P waves can
pass through any medium. This helped seismologists to learn
more about the interiors of the
earth.
