report text sering juga dikenal dengan sebutan informational report. Report,
dalam Concise Oxford Dictionary Edisi 10, diartikan sebagai 1) an account
given of a matter after investigation or consideration. 2) a piece of information
about an event or situation. Jika disimpulkan, secara bahasa report text
adalah teks yang berfungsi untuk memberikan informasi tentang suatu
peristiwa atau situasi, setelah diadakannya investigasi dan melalui berbagai

dalam berbagai buku bahasa Inggris di tingkat menengah, “Report is a text
which present information about something, as it is. It is as a result of
systematic observation and analyses.”
