Q & A

What is the definition of an explanatory text (Teks Eksplanasi)?

An explanatory text is a type of text that explains a phenomenon or event, focusing on 'why' and 'how' such events occur. It provides detailed explanations based on facts and scientific principles.

What are the three types of phenomena discussed in the explanatory text?

The three types of phenomena discussed are: 1) Natural Phenomena (e.g., rain, earthquakes, aurora), 2) Social Phenomena (e.g., globalization, migration, poverty), and 3) Cultural Phenomena (e.g., traditional ceremonies, communal work).

What is the primary purpose of an explanatory text?

The primary purpose of an explanatory text is to explain the stages, steps, or processes involved in the creation of a phenomenon or event, either natural or social.

What is the role of facts in an explanatory text?

An explanatory text must be fact-based, meaning it should present verifiable information, not opinions or assumptions. This ensures that the explanation is objective and accurate.

Why is scientific language important in explanatory texts?

Scientific language is important because explanatory texts rely on established, tested knowledge. Using precise, technical terms ensures clarity and validity in explaining the phenomenon.

What does the structure of an explanatory text consist of?

An explanatory text consists of three main structural parts: 1) Identification of the phenomenon, 2) Series of events (detailing how the phenomenon occurs), and 3) Interpretation (the conclusion or commentary on the phenomenon).

What is the role of the 'Identification of the Phenomenon' in an explanatory text?

The 'Identification of the Phenomenon' introduces the phenomenon being discussed, providing its general definition, types, and location. It sets the context for the explanation.

How does the 'Series of Events' part contribute to an explanatory text?

The 'Series of Events' section describes the detailed process of how the phenomenon occurs, including its causes, consequences, and steps involved in its formation. It provides in-depth analysis.

What is included in the 'Interpretation' section of an explanatory text?

The 'Interpretation' section offers a conclusion or a personal comment on the phenomenon, summarizing its significance or impact, and reflecting on its broader implications.

Can you explain the formation of the Aurora as an example of an explanatory text?

The Aurora is formed when charged particles from the sun (solar wind) collide with Earth's atmosphere. These particles interact with gases like oxygen and nitrogen, releasing energy in the form of colorful lights visible in the polar regions, often in hues of green, red, blue, and purple.
