One day, my
friend, who studies in Australia, woke up late for lectures. She decided to
take a public transport to college. Because she was late, she decided to have
her usual mixed-rice breakfast on the bus. While she was eating, she suddenly
noticed that those of the passengers were looking at her and she wondered why.
Later she found
out that it is prohibited to eat on public transport in Australia. This made
her feel very awkward: if only someone had told her in advance...

Report
Reprt adalah teks yang digunakan untuk melaporkan sesuatu
apa adanyasebagai hasil pengamatan analitis. Teks mendeskripsikan sesuatu
secara umum.
Contoh:
What are houses
in cold climates like? Let me tell you. In cold climates, there is more rain
and snow than there is sun. So the hoses have steep, sloping roofs, so that
snow can slide down from the top – otherwise there is a risk of the roof
breaking under the weiight!
The windows are
small, to keep the warm air inside, and the cold air out. The walls are large
and painted, to absorb as much as heat as possible. Rooms are small and the
beds are often four-poster. In Russia, the beds are often mounted on big,
ceramic heaters!
When it is cold,
there were also fewer daylight hours which bring valuable heat from the sun.
This is why, until quite recently, the kitchen was the main room of the house,
getting heat and light at the same time.
Today, the houses
in many cold countries have central heating and electricity to give light all
through the day. But not long ago, to read a book in the warm whilst in snowed
and rained outside seemed like a miracle -
not only at home but also at school. (Source: Detik-Detik)

Negeri Sembilan
is unique among Malaysian states for its Adat
Pepatih, a mtrilinial social system which came together with the
Minangkabau people from the Indonesiaan island of Sumatra who settled in the
state.
The cultural
heart of minangkabau culture in Negeri Sembilan is the pretty royal town of
Seri Menanti, about 50 km from the state capital, Seremban. Here, you will find
a traditionl timber palace. It was residence of Negeri Sembilan’s ruler until
1992 when it was turned into the Royal Museum. It is a showcase of Minangkabau
architecture and design, and wwas built by two local craftsmen in 1908. No
screws or nails were used in its construction – the curved roof which resembles
the horns of buffalo.
For more of the
state’s history, you can head to the State Museum in Seremban which is also
housed in former palace, the Istana Ampang Tinggi. The Adat Museum in Rembau, 25
km south of Seremban, contains a facsinating array of cultural and artifacts
from handicrafted antiques to community heirlooms. Further to the south is the
Pangkalan Kempas Historical Complex. Its most fascinating feature is a group of
stone megaliths which are refereed to as batu hidup (living rocks). Villagers
believe the rocks can grow and move on their own. (source: Detik-Detik).

Review
Teks Review adalah teks yang bertujuan untuk memberi
penilaian atau kritik terhadap peristiwa atau karya seni, misalnya film,
pertunjukan, buku dan barang, kepada para pembaca atau pendengar khalayak
ramai.
Contoh:
I have a new
science book, entitled Planet Earth: An
Illustrated History. Let me tell you about the book.
The first thing
that you will notice about the book is the amazing photography. The editors of
Time have once again brought together pictures that defy the imagination. They
capture animals and natural events that seems fantastical in their beauty. You
could spend hours just soaking in the photos.
However, if you
close the book-after looking at the photography, you will miss well-written,
informative captions and essays that accompany the pictures. The coupling of
facts which images will open the hearts of romantics to the beauty od science
and cause the scientist to pause with wonder that is bigger the explanation.
Whether you would
like to learn about the Northern Lights of of bees, Planet Earth seems to cover it all. It does not provide long,
detailed information, but covers enough trivia to keep readers interested. I
recommend Planet Earth as a gift that
readers , young and old, can open with pleasure again and again. (source:

Exposition
Ada dua macam
teks exposition yaitu analytical exposition and hortatory exposition.
A.
Analytical Exposition adalah teks yang
memaparkan dan mempengaruhi pembaca bahwa ada masalah yang perlu mendapat
perhatian.
Contoh:
A laptop is a
kind of computer unit which has the same function as a PC (Personal Computer),
but it is smaller, lighter and different sizes. Nowadays, most people choose
laptops for several reasons.
A laptop is a
portable device. This portability is very useful for work, study and other
activities. We do not need complicated cable installation to activate a laptop.
With a laptop, we can do our work anytime and anywhere. Moreover, a laptop
allows us to access called hot spot areas. Some people like to use this
facility to carry out their tasks.
Finally, a laptop
consumes energy more efficiently than a PC does. This device uses a
rechargeable battery as a source of electrica energy. So, if we prefer using a
laptop, it means that we support the governmenet’s program to save energy.
That’s why laptops have become very popular. (Source: Detik-Detik)
B.
Hortator Exposition yaitu teks yang memaparkan
dan mempengaruhi pembaca bahwa sesuatu seharusnya demikian atau tidak demikian.
Contoh:
I’m sure you know
the meaning of corruption. Corruption is common everywhere in the world, evenin
the U.S.A., but just a matter of intensity. Jakarta is the most corrupt
placeinIndonesia.
The survey
saddens me, because I stay and earn a living in the capital. As we all know,
smuggling in Tanjung Priok Port is no news at all. Bussinessmen who wish to
minimize their tax payments bribe officials.
Well, I think the
measures taken to overcome the problem, by punishing corruptors have been
insufficient. We have to prevent our younger generations from this.
I believe we can
start from the earlist stage, at school, and I think everyone should be
involved in efforts to eradicate corruption. We must not amke any distinctions.

Explanation
Teks explanation
adalah teks yang digunakan untuk menerangkan cara ( proses) sesuatu terjadi,
terutma berkaitan dengan fenomena alam,
dunia ilmiah, atau sosial budaya.
Contoh:
The human body is
made up of millions of cells. Food is needed to build up new cells, to replace
the worn out cells. However,the food we consumes must be changed into
substances that can be carried in the blood to appropriate places. This process
is called digestion.
The first
digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into
small pieces by our teeth, mixed with saliva containing digestive juices which
moisten the food so it can be swallowed easily.
From the moouth,
food passes through the esophagus-the food passages-into the stomach. Here the
food is mixed with te juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several
hours. Then, the food enters the small intestine. All the time muscular waits
of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours,
the food changes into acids. The acids are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projection from the intestine walls) and passed into
bloodstream. (Source: Detik-Detik)
