Pengertian, Tujuan, Ciri, Descriptive Text dan Contohnya
A. Pengertian, Tujuan, Ciri, Descriptive Text dan Contohnya
Sebelum melihat Apa itu definisi descriptive text secara utuh, mari
kita pahami apa yang dimaksud dengan kata descriptive itu sendiri.
Descriptive adalah kata sifat yang jika kita artikan dalam bahasa
Indonesia berarti deskripsi (gambaran). Jika kamu diminta untuk
mendeskripsikan sebuah benda, itu artinya kamu harus menggambarkan benda
yang dimaksud baik dari ukuran, warna dan lain sebagainya. Menurut
Wikipedia, yang dimaksud dengan Descriptive text adalah: “satu
kaedah upaya pengolahan data menjadi sesuatu yang dapat diutarakan
secara jelas dan tepat dengan tujuan agar dapat dimengerti oleh orang
yang tidak langsung mengalaminya sendiri”. Jadi yang dimaksud
dengan descriptive text adalah sebuah tulisan atau teks yang
menggambarkan sifat-sifat yang melekat pada sesuatu, baik itu manusia,
hewan, tumbuhan, ataupun benda mati seperti rumah, mobil dan lain
sebagainya.B. Tujuan Descriptive Text
Dilihat dari pengertiannya di atas, maka sebenarnya kita sudah bisa memahami apa itu tujuan descriptive text. Tujuannya tidak lain adalah untuk menggambarkan segala sesuatu baik itu manusia, hewan, tumbuhan atau benda mati dengan sifat yang melekat padanya seperti ukuran, jenis, warna, dan sebagainya sehingga pembaca atau reader dapat mengetahui seperti apa sesuatu itu dari gambaran yang kita sampaikan meskipun ia belum pernah melihatnya.C. Struktur Text (Generic Structure)
Descriptive text mempunyai aturan tersendiri dalam penulisannya, termasuk dalam struktur atau susunan yang harus ditulis secara urut. Jika kamu diminta untuk membuat descriptive text, maka pastikan susunannya adalah sebagai berikut:- Identification: Bagian ini – pada paragraf pertama –
tujuannya adalah untuk mengidentifikasi sesuatu yang ingin
dideskripsikan atau digambarkan. Penjelasan mudahnya, indentification
berfungsi untuk memperkenalkan kepada pembaca tentang objek atau sesuatu
yang akan kita gambarkan sebelum kita beritahu tentang sifat-sifatnya.
Tujuannya agar jangan sampai pembaca salah orang. Kita mau menggambarkan
mobil misalnya, tapi pembaca mengiranya motor.
Contoh: kamu diminta untuk menggambarkan mobil barumu, maka isi identification-nya adalah: Ayahku baru saja membelikan mobil baru. Mobil ini sebenarnya sudah lama aku idam-idamkan, tapi baru sekarang ayahku membelikannya. (Berarti yang akan digambarkan adalah mobilku, bukan mobil orang lain). - Description: Bagian ini – pada paragraf kedua dan
seterusnya – berisi tentang sifat-sifat yang melekat pada sesuatu yang
sudah kamu kenalkan pada pembaca pada paragraf pertama.
Misal (melanjutkan tentang mobil di atas): Mobil baruku ini merupakan mobil sport keluaran terbaru dari Toyota. Jumlah bangkunya hanya dua, satu untuk sopir dan satunya untuk penumpang, begitu juga dengan pintunya. Mobil ini bisa melesat hingga kecepatan 500 km/jam, hampir sama dengan kecepatan pesawat berjenis Foker.
D. Ciri-Ciri Descriptive Text
Ciri-ciri ini penting untuk kamu perhatikan agar ketika menulis descriptive text tidak salah. Jadi pastikan kamu menggunakan ciri-ciri berikut ini ketika akan menulis menggunakan genre descriptive text:- Menggunakan Simple Present Tense.
Kenapa menggunakan simple present tense? hal ini karena kita akan
menggambarkan sebuah fakta atau kebenaran yang melekat pada sesuatu atau
orang. Dan salah satu fungsi dari simple present adalah untuk
menggambarkan sebuah fakta atau kebenaran (contoh fakta: matahari itu
panas). Oleh karena itu kamu harus selalu menggunakan kata kerja bentuk
pertama (verb-1).
Misal kamu akan menggambarkan sifat-sifat mobil baru kamu: The color of my car is black, it can run up to 500 km/hour. - Karena fungsinya adalah untuk menggambarkan sesuatu dengan
menjelaskan sifat-sifatnya, maka dalam descriptive text akan banyak
dijumpai kata sifat (adjective),
seperti handsome, beautiful, tall, small, big, atau jika kata sifat
tersebut berasal dari kata kerja, maka kamu akan mendapati tambahan -ve,
-ing, -nt di belakangnya,
Contoh:
Create (membuat) > creative (orang yang pintar membuat sesuatu).
Interest (menarik) > interesting (sesuatu yang menarik) - Dalam descriptive text kita juga akan sering menjumpai relating verb (kata kerja penghubung) yaitu is (seperti pada ciri nomor 1). Is dalam bahasa Indonesia sering diartikan dengan “adalah”. Karena tujuan atau fungsi descriptive text adalah untuk menggambarkan, maka pasti kita akan sering menjumpai kata adalah (is). His name is Andy (namanya adalah Andy), his height is 160 cm (tingginya adalah 160 cm).
E. Contoh Descriptive Text dan Penjelasannya.

curtain, the light of sunrise enters the room little by little, creates a
beautiful silhouette and warms the whole room. On the right corner of
room near the window, there’s a study desk that was once my father’s.
Next to that desk, there’s a white wardrobe where I put all of my
clothes.
In front of the wardrobe, at the
other side of the room, there’s a yellow bookshelf where I put half of
my book collection. I choose the collor yellow so it matches the collor
of my bedroom wall. Next to the bookshelf, I have a dressing table. And
next to that dressing table is where I put my guitar. It’s a
fifteen-year-old guitar but it still sounds great and I love it so much.

Dear Indah
Indah, sorry I haven’t written to you
for so long. We moved into a new apartment last month and we’ve been really
busy getting settled.
It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger
than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of rooms to work in. It has a big
living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is the
kitchen.
The apartment is on a quiet street in
a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping center just down the street with a
supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores.
We really enjoy living here. Do come
over and have a look next time you are in the town. I’ll wait.
Love
