text yang bisa sobat pelajari Pengertian Descriptive Text Dalam artian luas,
Description, seperti dijelaskan oleh Kane (2000: 352), diartikan seperti pada
kalimat di bawah ini : Description is about sensory experiencehow something
looks, sounds, tastes. Mostly it is about visual experience, but description also
deals with other kinds of perception. Jadi, jika disimpulkan dari penjelasan Kane
di atas, tulisan deskriptif bermakna teks yang menjelaskan tentang pengalaman
yang berhubungan dengan pancaindera, seperti apa bentuknya, suaranya,
rasanya. Kebanyakan teks deskriptif memang tentang pengalaman visual, tapi
nyatanya pengalaman selain dari indera penglihatanpun bisa digunakan dalam
descriptive text. Namun secara khusus, descriptive text adalah, "...... 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." [teks yang menjelaskan gambaran
seseorang atau benda. Tujuannya adalah mengambarkan atau mengungkapkan
orang, tempat atau benda tertentu] Jadi, bisa dikatakan bahwa descriptive text
ini adalah teks yang menjelaskan tentang seperti apakah orang atau suatu
benda dideskripsikan, baik bentuknya, sifat-sifatnya, jumlahnya dan lain-lain.
Tujuan (purpose) dari descriptive text pun jelas, yaitu untuk menjelaskan,
MENGGAMBARKAN atau mengungkapkan seseorang atau suatu benda. Generic
Structure dalam Descriptive Text Ketika menulis descriptive text, ada beberapa
susunan umum / generic structure (sebenarnya tidak wajib) agar tulisan kita
dianggap benar. Susunan tersebut adalah : Identification : berisi tentang
identifikasi hal / seorang yang akan dideskripsikan. Description : berisi tentang
penjelasan / penggambaran tentang hal / seseorang dengan menyebutkan
beberapa sifatnya. Ketika kita menulis descriptive text, hal yang wajib kita
ketahui adalah cara kita menyampaikan deskripsi tulisan kita tersebut. Oleh
karena itu pemahaman tentang adjective (kata sifat bahasa Inggris) wajib kita
kuasai. Selain adjective, beberapa struktur bahasa Inggris yang berfungsi
sebagai adjective pun harus kita pahami agar penulisan descriptive text kita
terlihat tidak kaku. Contoh Descriptive Text Banyak sekali contoh descriptive text

tentang keberadaan mereka dalam dunia maya. Oke, mari kita lihat contoh

Contoh Descriptive Text tentang Provo I have been in Provo for almost eleven
months. I have seen winter, spring, summer, and fall. Provo's winter is so
beautiful. The mountains are covered with a lot of snow. They look like many
beautiful brides wearing wedding dresses, and veils. In spring, Provo doesn't
have many trees; when the snow melts the mountains are bald as strong bald
men. Summer in Provo is very hot in the daytime. Last summer when I was
walking under the sky, it was like walking in an oven; the sun was like a fire that
burned my skin. In spring and summer the weather was always clear. I never
used my umbrella. Provo was like a huge clothes dryer; it is very dry in spring
and summer. In the fall the weather in Provo is very strange. One late September
morning when I woke up, the mountaintops was covered with snow. Provo is a
lovely and strange place. I love it very much. Contoh Descriptive Text tentang
Gitar written by Jeremy Burden My most valuable possession is an old, slightly
warped blond guitar--the first instrument I taught myself how to play. It's nothing
fancy, just a Madeira folk guitar, all scuffed and scratched and finger-printed. At
the top is a bramble of copper-wound strings, each one hooked through the eye
of a silver tuning key. The strings are stretched down a long, slim neck, its frets
tarnished, the wood worn by years of fingers pressing chords and picking notes.
The body of the Madeira is shaped like an enormous yellow pear, one that was
slightly damaged in shipping. The blond wood has been chipped and gouged to
gray, particularly where the pick guard fell off years ago. No, it's not a beautiful
instrument, but it still lets me make music, and for that I will always treasure it.
