Today we will continue our next material and it's about Explanation Text. Silahkan simak penjelasan materi di bawah ini

EXPLANATION TEXT

Explanation Text is a text that is used to explain the way (process) something happens, especially those related to natural phenomena, the scientific world or the socio-cultural world. The goal is to tell the reader or listener how something happened. An explanation text usually comes from the author's question regarding "why" and "how" to an existing phenomenon.

Explanation Text adalah teks yang digunakan untuk menerangkan cara (proses) sesuatu terjadi, terutama yang berkaitan dengan fenomena alam, dunia ilmiah atau sosial budaya. Tujuan nya untuk memberitahu kepada pembaca atau pendengar bagaimana sesuatu itu terjadi. Sebuah Explanation text biasanya berasal dari pertanyaan penulis terkait ‘why’ dan ‘how’ terhadap suatu fenomena yang ada.

Meskipun Explanation Text cukup mirip dengan Procedure Text, tapi kamu tetap bisa membedakannya. Tidak serupa dengan Procedural Text yang lebih memberikan kamu petunjuk untuk melakukan sesuatu secara step by step, Explanation Text akan lebih menjelaskan kenapa dan bagaimana sesuatu dapat terjadi.

Perhatikan contoh berikut ini:

📌Contoh procedural text: How to Make Delicious Vegetable Dishes (Cara membuat olahan sayur yang lezat)

📌Contoh explanation text: Why Vegetable Is Important for Our Health (Mengapa sayuran penting bagi kesehatan kita)

Example of Explanation Text

How does Rain Fall?

Rain is one of the main sources of fresh water for almost all people in the world. It provides suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems. It is also used as hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation. But, do you know how rain happens?

The rain’s phenomenon is actually what we often call as “water circle.” The concept of the water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth’s surface water and causing the surface water to evaporate. Then the water vapor rises into the Earth’s atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow bigger and heavier and fall to the earth as precipitation.

However, not all rain can reach the surface of the earth. Some evaporates while falling through dry air. This is what we call as “Virga”, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.

How Can We Taste A Food?

The sense of taste is one of a person's five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the tongue. The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called 'tastes messages. Then, how do we taste food we eat?

When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a few seconds.
