 Prakata

Assalamu’alaikum Ananda harapan bangsa. Selamat datang dan mengikuti matrikulasi sebagai
pembekalan bagi ananda sebelum mengikuti pembelajaran di kelas nantinya. Dengan mengikuti
matrikulasi secara sungguh-sungguh, Ananda diharapkan memiliki kesiapan yang lebih baik dalam
mengikuti proses belajar mengajar di kelas nantinya.

Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris sebagai salah satu materi matrikulasi akan mengajak Ananda untuk meninjau
kembali beberapa pengetahuan dasar yang penting seperti alphabet, bilangan, bagian-bagian/jenis kata,
tata Bahasa dan beberapa ragam teks dalam Bahasa Inggris secara umum.

Dengan menguasai beberapa pengetahuan dasar tersebut, tentunya akan lebih mudah bagi Ananda dalam
mempelajari bahasa Inggris lebih lanjut nantinya. Ananda juga akan merasakan bahwa belajar Bahasa
Inggris itu tidaklah sulit, bahkan menyenangkan.

Seperti kata bijak dalam Bahasa Inggris mengatakan” if there is a will, there is a way” (dimana ada
kemauan, disitu ada jalan). Belajarlah karena Ananda ingin membekali diri dengan ilmu dan keterampilan
yang akan bermanfaat/ berguna bagi Ananda di masa depan. Dan Ananda harus yakin bahwa Allah akan
meninggikan derajat orang berilmu beberapa derajat.

Semoga modul matrikulasi Bahasa Inggris ini dapat menjadi salah satu sumber belajar bagi Ananda. Bila
ananda menemukan kesulitan atau keraguan tentang pelajaran Bahasa Inggris, jangan malu untuk
bertanya kepada guru atau teman Ananda.

 2. TEXT GENRES IN ENGLISH

Berdasarkan tujuan dari isi teks, struktur umum dan ciri kebahasaan yang dominan digunakan, teks dibagi
kepada beberapa jenis yaitu narrative, recount, descriptive, report, explanation, analytical exposition,
hortatory exposition, procedure, discussion, review, anecdote, spoof, dan news item. Variasi ini dikenal
dengan istilah GENRE.

Pengertian Descriptive Text

Pada dasarnya penjelasan descriptive text adalah teks yang bertujuan menjelaskan,
menggambarkan, atau mendeskripsikan sesuatu. Sesuatu ini bentuknya bisa berupa apa saja, baik
itu hewan, benda, lokasi, dan lain sebagainya.

Biasanya descriptive text ditandai dengan penggunaan easy tense dan fokus pada satu objek
secara spesifik. Objek tersebut kemudian dibahas kembali secara lebih detail dalam teks
deskriptif tersebut. Lalu apa bedanya dengan recount text?

Sekilas kamu akan melihat contoh recount text, yang kemudian menceritakan kembali kisah
yang terjadi di masa lampau, dengan penggunaan easy past. Sementara descriptive text
menggambarkan suatu hal secara lebih detail. Descriptive text juga dapat berarti:

1. Text deskriptif memberikan informasi tentang bagaimana sesuatu atau seseorang terlihat,
text ini menggunakan kata-kata untuk menggambarkan sesuatu atau seseorang seperti
apa.

15
 2. Text deskriptif juga memberikan fakta-fakta tentang bagaimana Bahasa Indonesia benar-
benar digunakan sesuai dengan aturan serta bagaimana seharusnya text ini digunakan.

exercises well. Her fur grows thick and soft. Kelly may be a charming cat and we’ll continuously
watch out for her.
