Whales

Whales are sea-living mammals.
They therefore breathe air but cannot survive on land. Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30m in length, is the largest animal to have lived on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important differences in its external structure: its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat, horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its large, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a layer of fat (blubber). This is up to 30 cm in thickness and serves to concerve heat and body fluids.

An Example of Report Text


Here is an example of Report Text. Please, analyze the generic structure.




Generic Structure
Computer
General classification
Computers are machines that handle information automatically. They can perform calculations and process data. Computers can work with number to solve problems in a few seconds. Computers can remember a great deal of information and make practically no mistakes. That is why computers are widely used in places such as banks, offices and companies.
Description of How computer work
Description of computer parts and their functions
Computers work like calculators. But most calculations can do only one thing at time. We tell them what to do by pressing various buttons. To do the same work, we can give a series of instructions to a computer. We call this is a computer program. If we step up a program, the computer can provide other information, such as a list, numbers, letters, words or even graphs or pictures. Once we provide a program, the computer can do all this work automatically without further help or instruction.
A computer stores and handles numbers. The numbers may be mathematicall formulas or columns figures. The numbers may be codes that stand for letters of the alphabet, words or instructions to the computer.
All computers have three basic parts:
1. input and output units (I/O). The input unit takes in the information and instructions, and the output unit gives the results.
2. A central processing unit (CPU). This unit does the work of computing.
3. A memory. It stores or remembers the informations and instructions that the CPU needs to do the work.
I/O. One of them is video-terminal. The video terminal has a typewriter like keyboards and screen like television screen. We can see the output of the computer on the screen. If we need a permanent record of a computer’s output, a printer will make it. And if the computer’s main memory can not hold enough information, magnetic disk or tapes can be used for this purpose. The computer then can turn the information stored on the disks or tapes into numbers or letters.

Report Text



Report text functions to provide factual information about general characteristics of a certain thing, living or non-living thing. Information Reports classify and describe the phenomena of our world. This text is different from Descriptive text, which functions to give detail informations about a certain thing but not for generalizing it. This kind of text is used almost in every subject at school, so the competence to make or to understand this kind of text is an important part to develop the literate competence of the students at school. As the result, the teaching of this text does not only influence on the English literate development at school but also in other languages, even in their mother language.
The generic structure of a Report text is :
  • General Classification : tells what the phenomenon under discussion is.

  • Description : tells what the phenomenon under discussion is like in terms of - parts (and their functions)

- qualities
- habits or behaviours, if living; uses, if non-natural
