REPORT TEXT

A. Introduction
Writing is one of skills in English including writing a text. According to Retnowati
(2017) writing skill is a prominent challenge for most of English teachers in
secondary level of education. She said that Writing activities are not always easy
for most students due to many intertwining factors in writing process . English have
many text type that should be learned by the students. One of text type is report text. As
we know that report is also known as information report about something. It is a result of
systematic observation and analyses. Report text is usually about the provable facts.
Report texts are used to record, organise, and store information relating to categories of
things. Report texs are divided into four types such as classifying, compositional,
comparative and historical reports. In this module, the writer will explains about
classifying report.
This module is designed to provide learning activities for the students. It is used to
develop their comprehension skills about type of text expecially report text. The learnings
of this module shall focus on the knowledge to apply their writing skill for students.

1. Short descriptions
Report text is a text which presents information about something (animals, natural
phenomena , plants, etc). It is as a result of systematic observation and analyses. A
repor text starts from general information to details, such as physical description,
habitat, diet, and breeding system) “Report text contains technical terms and
accurate information, compared to composing other kinds of text, writing report
text is more challenging since as an academic type of text, it requires more
advanced knowledge both of grammar and vocabulary” (Retnowati,2017)

2. Relevance
The main objective of this learning is to help you in comparing the definition of genre
text (classifying report and compositional report). The students will study social
function, generic structure, and language feature of report text.

Types of Whales – Whale Species in Antarctica

Whales are not only the largest animals alive today, they are the largest animals to
have ever lived. Hunted to the edge of extinction, they are making something of a comeback,
though some species are recovering more quickly than others.

Blue whale

The largest animals ever to have lived, dwarfing even the largest dinosaurs, all figures
about blue whales are awesome. Their circulatory system pumps 10 tonnes of blood through
its body using a heart the size of a small car. A child could crawl down the whales’ main blood
vessel, the aorta. In its development, a blue whale calf can drink 50 gallons of its mother’s
milk and gain 200 lbs per day. The largest individuals have been estimated at being 150-220
tonnes. Blue whales are light grey/blue to dark grey while at the surface, but seen underwater
they are luminous aqua blue.

Southern Right Whale

The name was given by the early whalers because they were the “right” whales to
kill. They have large amounts of oil, blubber and baleen or whalebone, they are slow
swimming (easy to catch), are often found close to shore and float when killed. Right whales
have a large bulbous head and lack the streamlined shape of other whales. The head has large
callosities that are home to a whole collony of whale barnacles, parasitic worms and whale
lice.

Sei Whale

These are among the most elusive of the larger whales, not coming very close to land
at any time and not forming large groups or “schools”. Sei is pronounced “Say”. They are
found like many whales in both Northern and Southern hemispheres following the best
feeding at different times of year. Only the larger older individuals tend to go very far south,
they are relatively rare in Antartica.

Humpback Whale

Probably the best known of the large whales as they often collect in groups near to
land and draw attention to themselves by their behaviour. Breaching, lob-tailing, and flipper-
slap are common and often occur several times in a row. They are slow swimmers (allows
tourist boats - and whalers – to get close). Males at breeding time sing the longest and most
complex songs in the animal kingdom.

Introduction–Body–Summary–Conclusion, in which the Body mostly consists of
Background or Object of the Study, Problem Statement, Aims of the Study,
Research Method, and Results and Discussion, and the Summary consists of
Conclusion and Suggestion.

1 An Electric current is produced when electrons jump from one atom to another.
Each atom can olnly have a fixed number of electrons. When an atom gets an extra
electron, it immediately passes it along to a neighbouring atom. In this way, the
electron travels through millions of atom.

2 There is abundant electricity in nature. If you run a comb through your hair, you will
find that the comb can pick up small pieces of paper. This is called statis electricity.
The lightening that can be seen during a storm is also electricity. An electrical
charge builds up in the clouds until it passes down to the earth as a flash of
lightning.

3 Everything in the world is made up of atoms. Atoms have a central core. The central
core is surrounded by electrons. The electrons spin around the core or nucleus just
as our earth revolves around the Sun.

(2.5 meters) long and two hundred pounds or 91 kg.
Komodo has gray scale skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs, and a muscular tail.
They use their keen sense of smell to find decaying an animal remains from many
miles away. They additionally hunt different lizards yet as massive mammals
and generally barbarian. The Komodo dragon’s teeth are nearly utterly coated by its
gums. Once it feeds, the gums bleed, making a perfect culture for virulent
microorganism. The microorganism that boards the Komodo dragon’s spit causes
blood disease, or septicemia, in its victims. A dragon can bite its prey, then follow it till
the animal is simply too weak to hold on. This lizard species is vulnerable by looking,
