The Differences between Report Text and Descriptive Text
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 t

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 strength, 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; color, length, 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.

Example     :



The camel is a large, strong desert animal. Camels can travel great distances across hot, dry deserts with little food or water. They walk easily on soft sand and carry people and heavy hump. The hump is a large lump of fat providing energy if food is hard to find.

There are two chief kinds of camels: (1) the Arabian camel also loads to places that have no roads. Camels also serve the people of the desert in many other ways. The camel carries its own built-in food supply on its back in the form of a called dromedary, which has one hump, and (2) Bactrian camel, which has two humps.

Terjemah

Mereka berjalan denga mudah pada pasir yang halus dan dapat membawa orang dan punuk yang besar. Punuk tersebut adalah benjolan lemak yang besar yang menyediakan energi jika makanan sulit untuk ditemukan.

Terdapat dua jenis utama dari Unta: (1) Unta Arab yang juga bisa memuat ke tempat-tempat yang tidak memiliki jalan. Unta jenis ini juga dapat melayani orang-orang gurun dalam banyak jalan. Unta tersebut membawa pasokan makanannya pada punggungnya yang disebut Dromedray, yang hanya memilki satu punuk, dan (2) Unta Bactrian yang memiliki dua punuk
