Purpose of Explanation Text

Social Function

Generic Structure 

1. A tittle that identifies to the topic to be explained 

2. A general statement 

3. A sequenced explanation ( a clear order about how and why )

4. Closing/ concluding statement

The structure of the Explanation Text :

General Statement

The General Statement is the first part of the Explanation Text which is located in the first paragraph. This section has a function to provide a general explanation of events or phenomena that will be discussed in a text. General Statements can contain an understanding of an event or phenomenon and several sentences containing a general explanation of the event or phenomenon.

Sequenced of Explanation

Sequenced of Explanation is the next section of this type of text and is located in the next paragraph after the General Statement paragraph. This section has a function to provide an explanation of why and how an event or phenomenon can occur or be created. The explanation is in the form of the processes of the formation of these events which are written sequentially. This Sequenced of Explanation section usually answers the questions "How" (how) and "Why" (why) and can be written in more than one paragraph.

Notes: 

Explanation text does not have a closing part in its structure. Some people think that the last paragraph in explanation text is the closing or closing part of this type of text. However, the last part of this type of text is the last process of the occurrence or formation of an event or phenomenon.

Linguistic Features 

1. Focused on general group rather than spesific 

2. Use a linking word like, in general, rather, for instance

3. Use action verbs like breaks, erupts

4. Use present tense

5. Use passive voice 

6. Reference to people should not be given

7. Use of technical terms and language relavants to the subjects.

Passive voice and active voice

The general structure of the active voice and passive voice forms of the same sentence is as follows: 

Active Voice: Subject + Verb + Object 

Passive Voice: Object + Verb + Subject 

In addition to the arrangement of objects and subjects played, the form of verbs in sentences in both voices also changes. In the example sentence above, you can see that there are changes in the main verb (wash, bought) as well as the auxiliary verb (are, was) of the two voices above. Passive Voice only uses the third form of the verb or it can also be called the Past Participle. As for the auxiliary verb changes depending on the rules for using tenses in voices.

Example :

Active Voice: S + V (s/es) + O

My sister draws different art paintings every single day.

Passive Voice: O + to be (is/am/are) + past participle + (by S) 

Art paintings are drawn every single day by my sister.

Rules for changing active voice to passive one 

1. Identify the subject the verb, and the object

2. Change the subject into subject

3. Put the suitable helping verb or auxiliary verb. In case the helping verb is given, use the same verb but note that the helping verb given agrees with the object

4. Change the verb into the past participle form

5. Add the preposition by

6. Change the subject into object

 

Example 

1. A letter is written by me

2. American was discovered by Columbus

3. Macbeth was written by shakespeare

4. The door was opened by his son

5. The new ideas were suggested by Gina
