2. PREFACE
First of all we wished to preface that in this part of Learning English Material Based
ICT, SMAN 2 Mataram designed firstly English Learning Material for Senior High School
grade X, XI, & XII Academic Year 2009 / 2010. They are written and designed by H.M.
Sartono.
Nowadays, Mastering English is a challenge for some people, this is because of the
Modern Technology which accelerates the development of any field including Education.
To fulfill the Standard of Competence these English Learning Materials, we have to concern
with Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan as it is legitimated by Peraturan Menteri No 22
Tahun 2006 and it is applied in KTSP SMA which is elaborated completely in Syllabus
Design.
The main teacher's roles are as mediator and facilitator. The students and the
teachers are to be active and creative . The students' activity is focused on four skills such
as Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing Skills. All skills enable the students to work
actively, while vocabulary Mastery is given indirectly in every task and also functional skills
which is available in orally that is intended to make students to be able to communicate in
English orally. Then the acceleration task are implemented in every topic and section.
Furthermore, in these part of design English Learning Materials in order to meet the
students' needs, to offer a wide knowledge which are useful to their daily life or activity. So
we can say that the students from SMAN 2 Mataram joining these materials are aware of
English. And during the process of study, the students will discover something new, also
encourage them to communicate in English.
Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to those who have taken apart,
helped and given the motivation, or supported to these designs.
Hopefully, if there were some suggestions, criticisms for the improvement of these
designs will be warmly appreciated.

Report text overview
Report Text
Definition of Report : Report is a text which presents information about
something, as it is. It is as a result of systematic observation and analysis.
The Purpose: to presents information about something, as it is.
Generic Structure of Report
1. General classification: ( tells what the phenomenon under discussion is )
Stating classification of general aspect of thing; animal, public place, plant,
etc which will be discussed in general
2. Description: ( tells what the phenomenon under discussion is like in terms
of parts, qualities, habits or behavior ). Describing the thing which will be
discussed in detail; part per part , customs or deed for living creature and

Some text types are quite difficult to differ. Such report and descriptive
text have the similarity in the social function and generic structure. However if they
are analyzed carefully, the slight difference between the two text types will reveal.
The purpose of the two texts are to give the live-description of the
object/participant. Both the report and descriptive text try to show rather than tell
the reader about the factual condition of the object. Readers by themselves will
catch the impressive point of the object through that showing writing style.
What make different, between report and descriptive text, is the scope
of the written object.
If we talk about, eg: bicycle, it belongs to report text. It will talk about
bicycle in general; its parts, physical strengh, function for certain people or other
general characters of bike. In the other hand, descriptive text will convey more
focus, for example "my bicycle" with its specific characters; colour, lengh, wheel
style, etc.
In short, report text describes the way of certain things and frequently
refer to phenomenon of nature, animal and scientific object. Mostly, report is written
after getting careful observation.
This scientific and technical sense make clearer difference from
descriptive text. The way of descriptive text in showing thing is based on the
objective fact of the thing. It describe the specific thing simply as the thing is
This sample report is labeled to show you the structure and language
features of a report text.
title Harvesting machines
Headers harvest crops such as wheat, barley and oats. These
general machines are also known as combine harvesters. Headers
statement combine the three operations needed to harvest a crop --
reaping, threshing and winnowing.
The comb on the front of the header cuts the heads off the
stalks (reaping). The auger pulls the heads into the machine.
The stalks left standing in the paddock are called stubble.
Threshing involves separating the grains from the head. The
drum rotates, beating the heads. Straw and chaff (bits of
series of stalk) are fed out the back of the header. Straw is spread over
descriptions the ground. Stock can graze on this and the standing stubble
left after harvest.
There are a number of screens in the header. Grain passes
over these and fans blow the husks away. This is called
winnowing. The clean grain is stored in the box. When this is
full the grain is augured out into a chaser bin or truck.

culture. All Indonesian people wear batik clothes. In fact, not only
Indonesia but also Europeans, Americans, and Australians like wearing
batik.
Formerly, batiks were produced mostly by women. Women in
Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Pekalongan and the other regions in this country
produced them with a humble apparatus. Most of them made batik in their
own houses. By making batiks, they could make a living.
Seeing its good prospect for their future, the government pays a
special attention to the batik industries. The possibilities to export barik
product and develop the market abroad have been examined well. In fact,
as a kind of home industry batik has grown uo. It plays an important part

A tour in modern time
A distant place with a strange name will always attract travelers who constantly
search for enjoyment, entertainment, excitement and something new. People often get bored
with the same places, identical food and drink, and similar people around them. They need to
go to different places from time to time, see and enjoy other cultures, meeting new people and
try new things.
The need to travel is as old as human civilization. After the father of history.
Herodotus, who lived in the fifth century BC, had roamed the ancient world and examined the
customs of many lands, he wrote his famous history. In modern times, a travel to outer space
is not just an imagination or a dream. In 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on
the moon.
Today, travel and tourism make up the largest portion of money spent in
international travelers. Although a travel was once a hazardous event, it is now an easily
planned and coordinated adventure that has been revolutionized by a vast improvement in
transportations, accommodations, and networks of international communication.

Bali, the fabled "Island of the Gods", has been enchanting visitors for centuries
with its rich cultural traditions and spectacular panoramas. From lofty, misty
enshrouded volcanoes and cool mountain lakes down through terraced rice fields to a
golden strand lapped by azure waters, every square inch of Bali offers a fresh and
unforgettable image. No less enchanting are its people, some 2.7 million souls whose
artistry and piety are recognized throughout the world.
Balinese Hinduism, a complex fusion of Indian cosmology, Tantric Budhism
and homegrown mythology, is the primary faith of Bali's inhabitants, and so deeply
woven into the fabric of their daily lives that the line between the spiritual and the
material is blurry at best. The shoppers among you will find Bali a treasure house of
handicrafts and fi ne works of art.
The Balinese are incredibly gifted artists and craftsmen, and their material
creations are imbued with the same sense of wonderment with which they regard their
universe. Stone and wood carvings, traditional and modern paintings and intricately
designed jewelry in gold and silver are readily available in shops and galleries
throughout the island. As for recreation, there is no shortage of options. Nature walks,
horseback riding, diving, surfing, bungee jumping and white water rafting await the
adventurous here. Taken from Hello Bali, 2000

In fact 10 percent of its land area is under protection. The range of protected areas
extends from volcanoes to oramgutan habitats and coral reefs, nearly 200 reserves
and parks. Nevertheless, understanding and aggressive loggers threaten many of the
parks.
Local porters can be hired and park guards may often accompany visitors as
guides. They should be tipped, plus reimbursed expenses. avoid misunderstanding ,

gibbons, long-tailed macaques, leaf monkeys, crocodiles, muntjanks, mouse deer
and herds of grazing wild oxen (banteng).
There are two types of accommodation available: most visitors stay at the
guesthouses on Peucang Island, But it’s also worthwhile to stop over for a night or
two at the older guesthouse on Handeleum Island to visit the Cigenter River, a
favourite rhino haunt just across the strait. Bedding, furniture and cooking facilities
are provided at both guesthouse, but you must bring your own food.
Ujung Kulon is accessible by motorbike track from Labuan via Sumur to taman
Jaya, where the parkheadquarters is located (about a six-hour ride). From here, it is a
leisury two day ride to Kalajetan anda Peucang Island via the south coast. Or else,

What Is Thunder and Lightning?
(the report text)
Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a
cloud and the ground, or from cloud to cloud. A lightning flash, or bolt,
can be several miles long. It is so hot, with an average temperature of
34,000° Centigrade, that the air around it suddenly expands with a loud
blast. This is the thunder we hear.
Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a
great height. It forms a type of cloud called cumulonimbus. When the
cloud rises high enough, the moisture freezes and ice crystals and
snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way
down. This rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction between
them which produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with
this electricity, it discharges it as a lightning flash. Taken from Peter
Haddock Ltd., Ref.083
1. What is meant by lightning?
2. When does lightning usually happen?
3. What does the word "this" in the last sentence of
paragraph 1 refer to?

learned from them. It is a mix of text types.
The aim describes what you were trying to find out. Sometimes a list
of materials and equipment is included -- this part can be called the apparatus.
The method lists the steps you carried out during the experiment. A diagram is
often included in the method as it can give a clear, concise description of how
any apparatus was set up. In the example given the method is written as a
procedure text in the present tense. At other times the method is written in the
third person and in the past tense.
The results section describes what happened. (This is a report text.)
The results are often graphed if appropriate.
The conclusion explains what you found out. (This is an explanation text.)
A discussion may be included in the conclusion or sometimes it is
included in a separate section. (This is often an exposition text.)

Conclusion
phenomenon
Tomatoes grow better in loamy soil than sandy or clayey soil.
identification
Loamy soil has good drainage. The soil retains enough water to supply
explanation the plant's needs. Sandy soil doesn't retain much water so the plants
sequence become water stressed on hot windy days. Clayey soil retains too much
water, so the plantÕs roots become waterlogged.
