One reason is characteristic of the English language itself. For example, tenses, verb
regular and irregular can not be found in Indonesia. In contrast, Indonesia is a language
that the student has received prior basically, so we already have enough knowledge about
it and have been known to use it properly.

So we can conclude, in a language view, a report text is used to serves to
provide information about an event or situation, after the investigation and through
the multi consideration.
Definition of text report is also fairly similar to what is often mentioned in
various books in English at the intermediate level, "Report is a text roomates
present information about something, as it is. It is as a result of systematic
observation and analyzes." [Report is a text which presents information about
