Descriptive Text
Definition of descriptive text

Descriptive text is a text which says what a person or a thing

is like. Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular
person, place, or thing.

Question Words

We use the “wh-” question words to form questions when we want to get information about
someone or something. The questions beginning with ‘wh-’ words are called open questions because
usually there are many possible answers to these questions

Mahatma979@gmail.com
 Skimming is high-speed reading that can save you lots of time. You
skim to get the general sense of passage of a book.

How do you skim?

You should read only the words that will help you get the sense of the text. The following
passage shows what parts you should read. These are parts that usually give the author’s ideas or
opinions.
Read the first sentences or paragraph quite carefully. The beginning often contains general
information about the rest of the text. If the text is long , you might also read the second paragraph.
Sometimes the first paragraph is only an introduction and the second paragraph contains the main
idea.............................................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................................
Aftre that, you should look at the beginning of each
paragraph....................................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................................
...............................................maybe read a few words....................................................................
..........................................in the middle..............................................................................................
............................................................................................usually the topic sentence is at the
beginning.
But sometimes it may be at the end......................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................................................................
.................skip some paragraphs............................................................................................................
Not important...............................
You should usually read the last paragraph more caraefully. The author often summarizes the
main idea at the end. These are the general rules about skimming. And this is all text you need to read
when you skim!
Scanning
. Scanning is very high-speed reading. When you
scan, you have a question in mind. You do not
read every word, only the words that answer
your question. Practice in scanning will help you
learn to skip over unimportant words so that you
can read faster

topic.

 1. Stimulation (Pemberian Rangsangan)

Read the following text and answer the

questions

TAJ MAHAL

Taj Mahal, an epitome of love, is actually a mausoleum.

Standing majestically on the banks of River Yamuna, the Taj
Mahal is synonymous to love and romance. Taj Mahal was
constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his
beloved wife and queen. The name “Taj Mahal” was derived from
the name of Shah Jahan’s wife, Mumtaz Mahal, which means
crown of palaces.

Taj Mahal represents the finest architectural and artistic

achievement. The mausoleum was constructed of pure white
marble. The white marble is inlaid with semi-precious stones
(including jade, crystal, lapis lazuli, amethyst and turquoise) that
form the intricate designs. Its central dome reaches a height of
240 feet (73 meters). The dome is surrounded by four smaller
domes. Four slender towers, or minarets, stand at the corners.
Inside the mausoleum, an octagonal marble chamber adorned
with carvings and semi-precious stones house the false tomb of
Mumtaz Mahal. Her actual remains lie below, at garden level.

Taj Mahal shows shades of magnificent beauty atdifferent

time during the day. At dawn when the first rays of the sun hits
the dome of this epic monument, it radiates like a heavenly
pinkish palace. At daytime, when the sky is bright and clear, the
Taj looks milky white. At a moonlit night when the full moon rays
fall on the glistening white marble, the cool moon rays reflect back

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT (IDENTIFIKASI MASALAH)

TANJUNG PUTING NATIONAL PARK

Tanjung Puting National Park is an internationally famous ecotourism

destination, which is located in the southwest of Central Kalimantan
peninsula. Visitors from foreign countries come to this park because of its
amazing nature. This is called a park, but unlike any park that you have
seen in your city, this is a jungle! It is a real jungle, which is home to the
most interesting animal in the world: orangutans.
Though the park is home to many animals, seeing orangutans is
usually the visitors’ main reason to visit the park. Orangutans, which literally
mean the man of the forest, are the largest arboreal animal on the planet.
Most of their lives are spent in trees where orangutans travel from branch to
branch by climbing or swinging with their long arms.
To see orangutans, we should go to Camp Leakey, which is located in
the heart of Tanjung Puting National Park. Camp Leakey is a rehabilitation
place for ex-captive orang utans and also a preservation site. It is also a
famous center for research about orangutans which has been conducted by
the famous primatologist Dr. Birute Galdikas since 1971. Here visitors can
see daily feedings to orangutans at jungle platforms as part of the
rehabilitation process to their natural habitat. This event gives them
opportunity to see orangutans up close.
To reach the place, we should take a boat down Sekonyer river. The
boat is popularly called perahu klotok which isa boathouse that can
accommodate four people. The trip by the boat to Camp Leakey takes three
days and two nights. You sleep, cook, and eat in that klotok, night and day
during your journey into the jungle.
The traveling in the boat offers an unforgettable experience. In
daylight, on your way to Camp Leakey, you can see trees filled with proboscis
monkeys, monkeys that have enormous snout which can only be found in
Kalimantan. The monkeys anxiously await klotok arrivals. A troop of 30 light-
brown monkeys may plunge from branches 10 meters or higher into the river
and cross directly in front of the boat. These monkeys know that the boat’s
engine noise and the threat of its propeller scare crocodiles, which find these
chubby monkeys delicious. At night, you can enjoy the clear sky and the
