Pengertian, Tujuan, Ciri Narrative Text
Dalam Bahasa Inggris Dan Contohnya
Tujuan dasar dari text narasi adalah untuk menghibur dan menarik minat
pembaca dengan menyajikan cerita atau peristiwa yang memiliki masalah yang
menimbulkan konflik dan pada akhir cerita ada resolusinya atau akhir yang
bahagia atau bahkan menyedihkan.
Sebenarnya teks narrative tidak hanya terbatas pada cerita yang berbau mistis,
fiksi, legenda, dongeng ataupun fabel saja, tapi cerita lain yang berbentuk
petualangan, misteri dan semua bentuk cerita. Intinya, narrative text adalah
tentang cerita. Tapi dalam pelajaran di sekolah, teks yang bergenre naratif
biasanya hanya digunakan untuk menunjukkan cerita fiksi seperti dongeng
ataupun legenda saja.
Jika dilihat dari jenisnya, maka narrative text yang sering dimaksudkan oleh
bapak ibu guru adalah termasuk kategori Narasi Sugestif, yaitu teks yang
tujuannya agar pembaca mendapatkan hikmah dari sebuah cerita.
Fokus pada satu tokoh atau pelaku dan biasanya individual sehingga
biasanya menggunakan kata ganti seperti “I, we, she, he”.
Paling sering menggunakan past tense baik itu simple past tense, past
continuous, maupun bentuk past tense lainnya.
Terkadang menggunakan dialog untuk mengajak pembaca berimajinasi
sehingga ceritanya terlihat lebih jelas dan nyata.
Karena berurutan (kronologis), maka biasanya juga menggunakan kata
sambung (conjunction) agar cerita terlihat runtut atau urut.
One day, a king invited all girls in his kingdom to attend a ball in his palace. They
were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would
wear. Cinderella could not stop crying after they left.
She looked up and saw a fairy standing beside her. Then Cinderella told her why
she was crying. Well the fairy said, “you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking,
uncomplaining girl that I will see that you go to the ball.” The fairy turned a
pumpkin into a coach and mice into a smooth two coach man and footman then
tapped Cinderella’s dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown.
Then he gave her a pair of pretty glass shoes. Now, Cinderella, she said, “you
have to leave the ball before midnight”. Then he drove away a wonderful coach.
Cinderella had a marvelous time either. She danced again and again with the
prince. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as fast
as he could do. In her hurry, one of her glass shoes left behind.
A few days later, the prince declared that he would marry the girl whose feet
fitted the glass shoe. Cinderella’s stepsisters tried on it but it was too small for
them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s
page let Cinderella try the shoe. She stretched his legs and slipped the shoe on
the page. It fitted perfectly. Finally, she was ushered into a magnificent palace
and height. The prince were glad to see her again. They married and lived
happily ever after.
Penjelasan:
1. Paragraf pertama berisi Orientation, yaitu pengenalan tokoh-tokoh yang
ada pada dongeng Cinderella.
2. Paragraf kedua berisi Complication, yaitu masalah muncul ketika
Cinderella tidak boleh pergi ke pesta dansa (ball).
3. Paragraf ketiga berisi Resolution, yaitu masalah terpecahkan ketika
seorang peri menolongnya.
4. Paragraf terakhir, berisi Re-Orientation, yaitu akhir cerita yang bahagia
dimana akhirnya Cinderella menikah dengan pangeran.
Dari kedua pengertian diatas dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa descriptive text
adalah jenis teks yang menggambarkan seseorang, benda atau tempat tertentu
sehingga pembaca dapat membayangkan seolah-olah yang diceritakan itu
benar-benar nyata.
2. Ciri-Ciri Descriptive Text

Bali (Indonesian)
Bali is an island and province of Indonesia. The province includes the island of
Bali and a few smaller neighbouring islands, notably Nusa Penida, Nusa
Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan. It is located at the westernmost end of the
Lesser Sunda Islands, between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. Its
capital of Denpasar is located at the southern part of the island.With a population
of 3,890,757 in the 2010 census, and 4,225,000 as of January 2014, the island is
home to most of Indonesia’s Hindu minority.
The Indonesian International Film Festival is held every year in Bali.Bali is part of
the Coral Triangle, the area with the highest biodiversity of marine species. In
this area alone over 500 reef building coral species can be found. For
comparison, this is about 7 times as many as in the entire Caribbean. There is a
wide range of dive sites with high quality reefs, all with their own specific
attractions. Many sites can have strong currents and swell, so diving without a
knowledgeable guide is unadvisable. Most recently, Bali was the host of the 2011
ASEAN Summit, and the 2013 APEC.
Cendrawasih ( birds-of-paradise )
Cendrawasih ( birds-of-paradise ) are members of the family Paradisaeidae of
the order Passeriformes. The majority of species are found in eastern Indonesia,
Papua New Guinea, and eastern Australia. The family has 42 species in 14
genera. The members of this family are perhaps best known for the plumage of
the males of the sexually dimorphic species (the majority), in particular the highly
elongated and elaborate feathers extending from the beak, wings, tail or head.
For the most part they are confined to dense rainforest habitat. The diet of all
species is dominated by fruit and to a lesser extent arthropods. The birds-of-
paradise have a variety of breeding systems, ranging from monogamy to lek-type
polygamy.
