Things that must be paid attention to in the form of Direct Speech, namely:
a. Reporting Verbs (which report) and Reported Words (which are reported) are separated by
commas (,).
b. Reported words in direct sentences are written in quotation marks.
c. Reporting Verbs can also be called Reporting Sentences, Reported Words can also be called
Reported Speech (reported sentences).
d. The location of the reporting verb does not have to be at the beginning of the sentence, but
can be at the end of the sentence. Consider the following example:
He said, "It's time to go away."
He said : Reporting verb, "It's time to go away." : Reported words
Can be:
“It is time to go away,” He said.
"It's time to go away." : Reported words, He said : Reporting verb
To make good direct speech, you must master English grammar
2. Indirect Speech
Adverb of Place
a. here becomes there
b. this becomes that
c. these becomes those
3. Resolution
The resolution is the part of the narrative where the conflict or problem introduced earlier in
the story is resolved or addressed. This may involve characters finding a solution to their
issues, overcoming obstacles, or experiencing personal growth. The resolution helps tie up
loose ends, providing closure for the reader and allowing them to see how the events of the
story have impacted the characters.
4. Re-orientation / Evaluation
Re-orientation, also known as evaluation, is an optional component of a narrative text that
serves to reflect on the story and its events, reinforcing the moral lesson or theme. This
section typically appears at the end of the story, providing a summary or commentary on the
characters’ experiences and the consequences of their actions. It helps the reader understand
the significance of the story and encourages them to consider the message or lesson the
author intended to convey.
The points mentioned above are the basic components of a narrative text structure, but it is
important to note that not all narrative texts follow this exact structure. Some narratives may
include additional elements, such as flashbacks, multiple perspectives, or non-linear
timelines. Nevertheless, the basic structure described above provides a useful framework for
understanding and analyzing narrative texts.
2. Autobiography
An autobiography is a narrative text that tells the life story of the author, written from a first-
person perspective.
Example :
"My Journey to Becoming a Musician"
I was born in a small town called Harmonyville, where music filled the air and creativity
thrived. From a young age, I was drawn to the enchanting melodies and rhythmic beats that echoed
through the streets. It was in this musical haven that my journey as a musician began.
As a child, I was always captivated by the sound of the piano. I would spend hours sitting at
my grandmother's old upright piano, tinkering with the keys and creating my own melodies. It was
during these moments that I discovered my passion for music.
At the age of seven, I started taking formal piano lessons. My teacher, Mrs. Johnson,
recognized my talent and nurtured my love for music. She introduced me to classical composers like
Mozart and Beethoven, and I was mesmerized by the emotions their music evoked.
As the years went by, my skills on the piano grew, and I began exploring other instruments as
well. I picked up the guitar and taught myself how to strum chords and play my favorite songs. I also
dabbled in singing, joining the school choir and performing in local talent shows.
In high school, I formed a band with some friends who shared my passion for music. We
spent countless hours practicing in our parents' garages, honing our skills and writing our own songs.
We dreamed of one day performing on big stages and sharing our music with the world.
After graduating from high school, I made the decision to pursue a career in music. I enrolled
in a prestigious music school, where I studied composition and music theory. The rigorous training
pushed me to my limits, but I knew that this was the path I was meant to take.
During my time in music school, I had the opportunity to collaborate with talented musicians
and perform in various concerts and events. The stage became my second home, and the thrill of
performing in front of a live audience fueled my passion even more.
After completing my studies, I embarked on a journey as a professional musician. I joined a
band and started performing at local venues, gradually building a following and gaining recognition in
the music industry. I also began writing and recording my own music, pouring my heart and soul into
every lyric and melody.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of touring different cities, sharing my music with
diverse audiences, and connecting with people through the universal language of music. It has been a
rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Music has not only been my career but also my solace and my voice. It has allowed me to
express my emotions, tell my stories, and touch the lives of others. It has taught me resilience,
perseverance, and the power of following my dreams.
As I continue on my musical journey, I am grateful for every note, every chord, and every
person who has supported me along the way. Music has shaped me into the person I am today, and I
am excited to see where this beautiful journey takes me next.
3. Biography
A biography is a narrative text that tells the life story of someone other than the author,
written from a third-person perspective.
Example :
"The Life and Legacy of Marie Curie"
Marie Curie was a remarkable scientist whose groundbreaking discoveries revolutionized the
field of physics and earned her a place in history as one of the most influential figures in science.
Marie Skłodowska was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. She grew up in a
family that valued education and encouraged her intellectual pursuits. Despite facing numerous
obstacles as a woman in a male-dominated field, Marie's passion for learning and her determination
propelled her forward.
In 1891, Marie left Poland and moved to Paris, France, to pursue her studies at the prestigious
Sorbonne University. It was there that she met Pierre Curie, a fellow scientist who would become her
partner in both life and work. They married in 1895 and embarked on a scientific journey that would
change the world.
Marie's first major breakthrough came in 1898 when she discovered a new radioactive
element, which she named polonium after her native Poland. Shortly after, she and Pierre discovered
another radioactive element, radium. Their groundbreaking research on radioactivity earned them the
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, making Marie the first woman to ever receive this prestigious award.
Tragedy struck in 1906 when Pierre Curie tragically died in a road accident. Despite the
devastating loss, Marie continued her work and became the first female professor at the University of
Paris. She dedicated herself to furthering her research on radioactivity and its medical applications.
During World War I, Marie Curie's scientific expertise proved invaluable. She established
mobile radiography units, known as "Little Curies," to provide X-rays for diagnosing injuries on the
battlefield. Her selfless dedication to saving lives earned her the admiration and respect of many.
In 1911, Marie received her second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, for her discovery of
radium and polonium and her pioneering research on radioactivity. She became the first person, and to
this day the only woman, to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.
Marie Curie's contributions to science extended far beyond her own research. She inspired
countless others, especially women, to pursue careers in science and break down barriers. She
believed that education and knowledge were the keys to progress and worked tirelessly to promote
scientific education for all.
Sadly, Marie's relentless exposure to radioactive materials took a toll on her health. She
passed away on July 4, 1934, due to complications from prolonged exposure to radiation. However,
her legacy lives on, and her contributions to science continue to shape our understanding of the world.
Marie Curie's life serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and the pursuit
of knowledge. Her groundbreaking discoveries and unwavering dedication to science have left an
indelible mark on the world, inspiring generations of scientists to push the boundaries of what is
possible.
4. Memori
A memoir is a narrative text that focuses on a particular period or event in the author’s life,
often written from a first-person perspective.
Example :
"A Childhood Memory: The Magical Summer Vacation"
When I think back to my childhood, one particular memory stands out vividly in my mind. It
was the summer vacation of my seventh year, a time filled with endless adventures and magical
moments.
My family and I had planned a trip to a remote countryside village, nestled amidst rolling hills
and lush greenery. As we arrived, I was immediately captivated by the picturesque beauty of the place.
The air was filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers, and the sound of chirping birds echoed through
the tranquil surroundings.
We stayed in a cozy cottage, surrounded by a vast garden. Each morning, I would wake up to
the gentle rays of the sun streaming through my window, filling my room with warmth and promise. It
was a feeling of pure bliss, knowing that each day held new adventures waiting to be discovered.
One of my fondest memories from that summer was exploring the nearby forest with my
older brother. We would embark on grand expeditions, armed with our trusty backpacks and a sense of
wonder. We would hike through winding trails, discovering hidden streams and secret clearings where
we would build forts out of fallen branches.
One day, as we ventured deeper into the forest, we stumbled upon a hidden waterfall. The
sight took my breath away. The water cascaded down the rocks, creating a mesmerizing display of
shimmering droplets. We spent hours playing in the cool, refreshing water, feeling like we had
discovered a hidden paradise.
Another cherished memory from that summer was the evenings spent around a crackling
bonfire. As the sun set, we would gather around the fire, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories.
The flames danced in the darkness, casting a warm glow on our faces as we laughed and bonded as a
family.
But perhaps the most magical moment of all was when we witnessed a meteor shower. On a
clear night, we lay on a blanket in the garden, gazing up at the starry sky. Suddenly, streaks of light
began to shoot across the heavens, leaving trails of brilliance in their wake. It felt as if the universe
was putting on a spectacular show just for us, and in that moment, I felt a profound sense of awe and
wonder.
As the summer vacation came to an end, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. The
memories we had created during those precious weeks would forever hold a special place in my heart.
They were a reminder of the joy and innocence of childhood, a time when the world seemed full of
endless possibilities.
Even now, as an adult, I often find myself reminiscing about that magical summer vacation. It
serves as a reminder to embrace the beauty of the present moment, to seek out adventures, and to
cherish the memories that shape our lives.
5. Legend
A legend is kind of a folklore. It’s a traditional story that has been passed on for generations –
it often explains the origins of a particular culture or society.
Example :
"The Legend of Mount Bromo"
Long ago, in the mystical land of Java, there stood a mighty volcano named Mount Bromo.
The locals believed that the volcano was not just a natural wonder but also the dwelling place of the
gods. They revered the mountain and believed it held great spiritual significance.
According to the legend, there was once a powerful kingdom ruled by a wise and just king.
The kingdom prospered under his rule, and the people lived in harmony. However, the king had a
beautiful daughter named Rara Anteng, who had captured the hearts of many suitors.
One day, a wicked giant named Brahma appeared in the kingdom. He was captivated by Rara
Anteng's beauty and demanded that she marry him. The king, unwilling to sacrifice his daughter's
happiness, refused the giant's request.
Enraged by the king's defiance, Brahma unleashed his fury upon the kingdom. He caused a
massive eruption from Mount Bromo, spewing ash and lava, and threatening to destroy everything in
its path. The people were terrified, and the king knew he had to find a way to appease the giant's
wrath.
In desperation, the king sought the guidance of a wise old sage. The sage revealed that the
only way to calm the giant was to offer a sacrifice. The sacrifice had to be a brave prince who would
willingly jump into the crater of Mount Bromo.
The king, torn between his love for his daughter and the safety of his kingdom, made a
difficult decision. He announced that any prince who volunteered to sacrifice himself would be
granted the hand of Princess Rara Anteng in marriage.
Many princes from neighboring kingdoms came forward, hoping to win the princess's hand
and save their lands from destruction. But one prince, named Joko Seger, stood out among them all.
He was brave, noble, and deeply in love with Rara Anteng.
Joko Seger, without hesitation, declared that he would be the sacrifice. He bid farewell to his
beloved and climbed the treacherous slopes of Mount Bromo. As he reached the edge of the crater, he
turned back one last time, gazing at Rara Anteng with love and determination.
With a final leap, Joko Seger plunged into the fiery depths of the volcano. The earth trembled,
and the skies roared as the sacrifice was made. Miraculously, the eruption ceased, and Mount Bromo
fell silent once again.
The people mourned the loss of their brave prince but celebrated the salvation of their
kingdom. In honor of Joko Seger's sacrifice, the king declared that the mountain would forever be
known as Mount Bromo, derived from the words "Brahma" and "Joko Seger."
To this day, the legend of Mount Bromo lives on, reminding the people of Java of the power
of love, sacrifice, and the eternal bond between a brave prince and his beloved princess.
2. Explanation Text
An Explanation text is a piece of non-fiction writing explaining an action process or event in
a detailed but simple way. It features numbered points, time connectives, pictures, diagrams,
labels and captions to help the receiver understand the process of what's being delivered.
a. Title
Explanations have a title that prepares and leads the reader to the text.This can appear in
avariety of forms from a heading that names the action to a how and why question or a
problemthat is to be answered by the explanation.
b. General statement
The first paragraph has a general statementthat introduces or identifies the scientific
ortechnical phenomenon. It gives the audiencea brief introduction to the event or thing andan
understanding of the type of text that isto follow.
c. Sequenced explanation
At this stage students’ explanations are developing causal relationships as well as sequential
ones. The logically sequenced paragraphs explain why or how something happens rather than
focusing on an object.
d. Closing / Concluding statement
An optional concluding statement can tie up the explanation.
Example 1 :
How Do Fish Breathe?
• General statement
All animals breathe just like humans. How they breathe, however, varies. Breathe by inhaling
oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide as waste. Air flows in through the human’s nose or
mouth into the lungs where oxygen is transported through the blood to the rest of the human
body. Humans need air to breathe. So, what does that mean for animals that live in the water?
• Sequenced Explanation
Like humans, fish also need oxygen and emit carbon dioxide to survive. But using the lungs,
these creatures that live in water use organs called gills. The gills are organs located on the
sides of the fish’s head. These gills have many small blood vessels called capillaries.
When the fish opens, the water will flow over the gills. After that, the blood in the capillaries
will pick up oxygen that is soluble in water. The blood then moves through the fish’s body to
provide oxygen throughout the body, just like in humans.
All bony fish also have a bony plate called an operculum. This operculum is useful for
opening and closing to protect the gills. Breathing underwater is difficult. The air we breathe
has an oxygen concentration of 200,000 parts per million.
Whereas water only has a concentration of 4 to 8 parts per million. This means fish need to
flow a lot of water over their gills to get the amount of oxygen to survive. In addition, the
gills are very useful for extracting the oxygen needed by fish.
Breathing becomes more difficult as the oxygen concentration decreases. Low levels of
oxygen concentration make it impossible for animals to survive. Although it can occur
naturally, it can also be created by human activity.
When pollution is high, such as waste dumped into the sea, this will cause algae blooms
which then die and decompose. Furthermore, it will cause the zone to have a low oxygen
concentration level of oxygen
3. Descriptive Text
Generic Structure of Descriptive Text. When writing descriptive text, there are some generic
structures, (actually not mandatory) for our writing to be true.
The arrangement is:
A. Identification: (contains about the introduction of a person, Place, animal or object will be

B. Description: contains a description of something such as Animal, things, place or person
by decribing its features, forms, Colors, or anything related to what the writer describe.
Purpose of Descriptive text :
A. To describe person, thing or place in specific
B. To describe a particular person, thing or place.
4. Discussion Text
What is a discussion text?
Imagine you and your friends are chatting about a topic, and each of you has a different
perspective or opinion.
A discussion text is like that conversation written down!
It’s all about presenting various viewpoints and arguments, so that readers can understand the
different aspects and make their own informed decisions.
What are the purposes of a discussion text?

and debates among readers, fostering a deeper understanding of the issue at hand.
5. Analytical Text
Example 1
"The Benefits of Early Childhood Education"
Introduction:
Early childhood education plays a crucial role in a child’s development. It provides a
foundation for future learning and contributes to their overall growth and success. Therefore,
it is important to understand the benefits of early childhood education and support its
implementation.
Arguments:
Firstly, early childhood education enhances cognitive development. During the early
years, children’s brains are rapidly developing, and quality education in a stimulating
environment can foster their cognitive skills, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking.
It lays the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning and prepares them for academic
success.
Secondly, early childhood education promotes social and emotional development.
Through interaction with peers and teachers, children learn important social skills such as
sharing, communication, and cooperation. They also develop emotional intelligence, self-
regulation, and empathy, which are crucial for building healthy relationships and navigating
the challenges of life.
Furthermore, early childhood education prepares children for future success. Research
shows that children who participate in high-quality early education programs are more
likely to perform well academically, graduate from high school, and pursue higher
education or successful careers. They develop a strong foundation in literacy,
numeracy, and problem-solving, setting them up for a lifetime of achievement.
Critics may argue that early childhood education is not necessary and that children should
simply play and explore. While play is an essential part of early childhood, structured
educational programs provide a balanced approach that combines play-based learning with
intentional teaching, maximizing the child’s learning potential.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, early childhood education offers numerous benefits for children’s
cognitive, social, and emotional development. It prepares them for future success, both
academically and in life. Therefore, it is important to invest in high-quality early childhood
education programs and ensure that all children have access to these opportunities for their
optimal growth and development.
Example 2
"The Impact of Social Media on Society"
Introduction:
Social media has become an integral part of our lives, transforming the way we
communicate and interact. While it offers many benefits, it is important to critically examine
the impact of social media on society and consider both its positive and negative aspects.
Arguments:
Firstly, social media enhances connectivity and communication. It allows people to
connect with friends, family, and communities regardless of geographical boundaries. It
provides a platform for sharing ideas, information, and experiences, fostering a sense of
belonging and promoting cultural exchange. It has revolutionized activism and social
movements, empowering individuals to raise awareness and create social change.
Secondly, social media has a significant impact on mental health. Excessive use of
social media has been linked to increased feelings of loneliness, depression, and anxiety. The
constant exposure to carefully curated images and unrealistic portrayals can lead to low self-
esteem and body image issues, especially among young people. It is important to use social
media mindfully and promote healthy online habits.
Furthermore, social media has influenced the spread of misinformation and fake
news. The ease of sharing information on social media platforms has led to the rapid
dissemination of unverified or false information, which can have serious consequences for
society. It is crucial for individuals to critically evaluate the information they encounter and
verify its authenticity before sharing.
Conclusion:
Social media has both positive and negative impacts on society. While it enhances
connectivity and communication, it also has detrimental effects on mental health and
contributes to the spread of misinformation.
