(Information Report Text adalah teks yang menyajikan informasi faktual mengenai suatu kelas benda, hewan, tumbuhan, tempat, atau fenomena alam berdasarkan observasi sistematis.)
Communicative Purpose
The main purpose of an information report text is to describe something in general based on facts and reliable information, rather than describing a specific individual object.

(Introduces komodo generally and classifies them as reptiles/monitor lizards).
Description

Functions:
- Explaining physical and non-physical features.
- Providing detailed facts and observations.

Language Features (Ciri Kebahasaan)
While the core focus of this lesson is text structure, recognizing these language features helps identify information reports:
Refers to general classes rather than specific individuals (e.g., Elephants, computers, volcanoes).
Expresses general facts and timeless truths (e.g., Dolphins live in the ocean).
Used to link subjects with descriptions (e.g., Komodo dragons are reptiles).
Describes what subjects do (e.g., Birds fly, fish swim, volcanoes erupt).
Subject-specific vocabulary (e.g., Habitat, mammal, ecosystem, crust).
Statements based on scientific facts, not opinions or imaginary stories.
