Contoh penggunaan kata kerja bentuk pertama dalam descriptive text
Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Japan is the world’s first
international airport built on a man-made island, 5km off the Senshu coast
at Osaka Bay.
Its terminal, a beautiful, modern four story structure, is the
longest in the world (1,7km) and was designed by the prominent Italian
architect Renzo Piano.
Indeed, even first-time passengers feel the comfort and the
convenience of KIX in terms of the procedures and flow that need to
be followed, from the time one disembarks up to picking luggage.
International arrivals sort out immigration matters and baggage on
the first floor, while international departures take place on the
third floor after one is ticketed on the fourth floor. A 24-Hour
Airport Lounge, Business Center, VIP and Conference Rooms and, of course,
Duty Free shops offering branded goods at attractive prices
are readily available. If you happen to be traveling with your pet,
you can always have it kept at the Pet Hotel, the first ever in Japan.
================================
Nah, berikut latihan soal untuk lebih memperjelas lagi penggunaan kalimat
simple present tense dalam descriptive text. Selamat berlatih. Semoga bermanfaat yaa...
Salah satu bentuk teks yang diajarkan pada materi bahasa Inggris kelas 9
SMP/ MTs adalah teks report. Teks report memberikan suatu gambaran tentang
suatu hasil pengamatan terhadap sesuatu baik itu orang, benda, binatang,
maupun tempat secara umum. Teks ini hampir mirip dengan bentuk teks
descriptif, namun ada beberapa perbedaan yang terdapat dalam generic
structure nya.

Pada teks report, participant cenderung general atau umum artinya data yang
tersaji berupa suatu simpulan umum baik itu dalam penggambaran
karakteristik, ciri atau keberadaan dan keadaan participant. Adapun tujuan
dari teks report adalah menmberikan suatu gambaran umum dari participant
yang diulas.
Generic structure dari teks report ini antara lain sebagai berikut,
General classification, yaitu pernyataan umum mengenai subjek laporan,
keterangan dan klasifikasinya.
Description, menginformasikan tentang ciri- ciri umum dari subjek
sebelumnya baik itu sifatnya, perilaku, tampilan fisik, fitur- fiturnya,
kualitas dan sebagainya.
Teks report sering menggunakan unsur kebahasaan tertentu antara lain:
General noun, kata yang merujuk pada sesuatu secara umum, misalnya
snakes are reptiles ( ular jenis apapun adalah golongan reptile)
Relational process, menggunakan kata kerja yang menggambarkan keadaan
participant, dan atau mengisyaratkan kepemilikan. Misalnya Birds have
wings,, A Giraffe is a tall animal.
Penggunaan simple present tense, penggunaan simple present tense
dikarenakan teks ini menyatakan kebenaran umum atau fakta ilmiah.
Contoh text report
Beetles
Beetles are among the most common insects in the world. In fact,
scientists have found about 350,000 different species (kinds) of these
strange and interesting creatures.
Beetles come in many shapes, colors, and sizes. Some are round. Others
are long and thin. Most are brown or black. Some beetles have bright,
shiny bodies. Many have colored spots or stripes. Jewel beetles can be
blue, black, green, or copper colored. Ladybird beetles, also called
ladybugs, are orange with black dots.
Most beetles are smaller than your thumb. The world’s largest beetle is
the giant longhorned beetle of South America. It can grow to more than 7
inches (18 centimeters) in length. The tiny feather-winged beetle of
North America is one of the world’s smallest insects. It could fit on
the head of a pin!
Some beetles have horns. Rhinoceros beetles have two big horns.
Longhorned beetles have long, curving antennae, or feelers, that look
like horns. Weevils are beetles with long, slender snouts. A beetle’s
jaws are called mandibles. Some beetles, such as male stag beetles, have
large, powerful mandibles that look like deer antlers.
Beetles, like all insects, have a body with three main parts: head,
thorax, and abdomen. A beetle has antennae, eyes, and mouthparts on its
head. It has six legs and two pairs of wings—front wings and hind
wings—on its thorax. A beetle digests food in its abdomen.
Beetle wings are special. The front set of wings is hard. These wings
are called elytra. The colors of a beetle are on its elytra. The hard
elytra cover and protect the delicate hind wings. Beetles use only their
hind wings for flight. To take off, a beetle spreads open its elytra and
then unfolds its hind wings.
Beetles, like other insects, do not have bones. Instead, they have a
hard covering called an exoskeleton on the outside of their bodies. The
covering is like armor that protects their insides. The covering of a
beetle is harder than the covering of most other insects.
Some beetles that fall over on their hard backs have trouble standing
up. They just lie helplessly on their backs waving their legs. One
exception is the click beetle, which can jump into the air and land
right side up. It makes a clicking sound during its jump.

Pada contoh diatas, terdapat bagian- bagian dalam report text yang
menunjukkan bagian general classiffication, maupun description. Pada
paragraf pertama, adalah bagian general classification, yang mendeskripsikan
tentang beetles secara umum, diikuti oleh paragraf- paragraf setelahnya yang
menjelaskan bagian deskripsi dari beetles tersebut.
Baik, setelah mencermati teori dan contoh tentang report text, selanjutnya
adalah latihan soal. Pada report text, pertanyaan yang muncul secara umum
adalah tentang tujuan teks, topik teks, pertanyaan infformasi tersurat dan
tersirat. Untuk lebih memahami, beberapa soal latihan online dibawah

Dalam kehidupan sehari- hari, kita sering menyatakan wish dan hope. Keduanya memiliki arti yang hampir sama akan tetapi digunakan dalam situasi yang berbeda. Secara arti, hope diartikan sebagai sesuatu yang diinginkan terjadi di masa akan datang (something good that you want to happen in the future) atau menginginkan sesuatu agar menjadi kenyataan (to want something to be true). Sedangkan untuk wish, bisa merujuk pada harapan agar seseorang mendapatkan sesuatu yang baik misalnya saja kesuksesan dan kebahagiaan ( to hope for somebody's success or happiness)
Untuk lebih jelasnya mengenai penggunaan wish dan hope, berikut pembahasannya.
Wish
1. Wish sering digunakan dalam situasi yang tidak nyata atau bersifat imajinatif.
Contoh :
I wish (that) I studied algebra ( I don't study algebra)
I wish (that) I had met you ( I didn't meet you but I want to meet you)
Dari kedua contoh diatas, bisa kita simpulkan bahwa bentuk ini memiliki form :
wish + clause in past tense
2. Wish kadang- kadang digunakan sebbagai ungkapan greeting (ungkapan selamat) dan harapan yang baik.
Contoh :
I wish you a "lucky day"
I wish him "happy birthday"
I wish you "good luck"
Bentuk ini memiliki form :
wish + direct object + indirect object
3. Wish untuk menyatakan penyesalan (regret) tentang kejadian lampau yang tidak pernah terjadi.
Contoh :
I wish you had finished the work. ( you did not do the work)
I wish I could have helped you ( I regret losing the opportunity to help you)
Form untuk bentuk ini adalah
wish + could/ would have + past participle
4. Wish untuk sesuatu yang mungkin bisa terjadi di masa akan datang
Contoh :
I wish to get higher salary ( Saya berharap untuk mendapatkan gaji yang lebih tinggi)
I wish to come to your wedding party ( Saya berharap untuk bisa datang ke pesta pernikahanmu)
Fomr untuk bentuk ini adalah
wish + to infinitive
Hope
1. Hope untuk menyatakan harapan yang baik (goodwill) akan tetapi dengan bentuk form yang berbeda dari wish yaitu hope + that clause
Contoh :
I hope (that) you have an unforgettable moment.
I hope (that) you have a good time
2. Hope untuk menyatakan sebuah kemungkinan tentang hasil yang diinginkan
Contoh :
I hope you can come to the party tomorrow.

Dalam ungkapan sehari- hari, kadang -kadang kita menyatakan keberadaan dari sesuatu apakah orang atau benda. Untuk menyatakan sesuatu keberadaan sesuatu (ada dan tidak ada) dalam bahasa Inggris adalah dengan menggunakan expletive there. There diikuti oleh bentuk be (is/ are, was, were) plus kata benda yang mewakili an indefinite person ( orang yang tidak tentu) atau sesuatu (things). There biasanya diletakkan sebelum verb be dan kata bendanya diletakkan setelah be.
** Bentuk be tergantung pada benda yang mengikutinya apakah singular atau plural.
Contoh :
There is someone in front of the door. (Ada orang di depan pintu) --- bentuk singular
There is a teacher in the class. ( Ada seorang guru di dalam kelas) --- bentuk singular
There are students in the class. ( Ada siswa- siswa di dalam kelas) --- bentuk plural
There is something wrong. ( Ada sesuatu yang tidak beres) --- bentuk singular
Untuk kalimat negatf, tambahkan not setelah bentuk "be" nya, sedangkan untuk kalimat tanya, Be diletakkan pada awal kalimat.
=========================
Singular
There is ... (There's) There is not ... (There isn't) Is there ...?
=========================
Plural
There are ... There are not ... (There aren't ...) Are there ...?
=========================
Contoh :
The class is very quiet. There are not many students there.
There is not a super mall in this city.
Is there a bank near here?
Tips : Perhatikan bentuk "be" yang digunakan pada benda yang bersifat uncountable (tidak dapat dihitung) seperti sand, oil, sugar, salt, dll. Pada benda- benda tersebut, bentuk be nya adalah selalu singular.
