1. DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

2. PENGERTIAN DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
Menurut Kane :
Description is about sensory experience - how 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.

3. 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 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, sebuah tempt atau juga seekor binatang .

Australia. This year, in 2004, it celebrates its 40th anniversary.
The university is located at the North Ryde Greenbelt, Sydney,
where the New South Wales government sets aside 135 hectares for
the institution. In 1964, Macquarie area was a rural retreat on the city
fringe, but today the campus and its surroundings have evolved beyond
recognition. The North Ryde District has grown into a district of
intensive occupation anchored by a vibrant and growing university.
Blessed with a fortunate location and room to breathe,
Macquarie can be proud of that careful planning that retains and enrich
the university’s most attractive natural features. A pleasing balance
between buildings and plating is evident across the campus. This
emphasis on the importance of landscape has created images of
Macquarie as a place that members of the university are most likely to
pleasurably recollect.
