Report Text. Report text merupakan salah satu jenis teks yang tergolong dalam kategori factual text. Teks ini berfungsi sebagai tulisan yang berisi informasi mengenai suatu peristiwa atau kejadian, situasi, atau benda. Informasi dalam report text diperoleh setelah penulis melakukan riset dan investigasi dari beberapa sumber. Umumnya sebuah report text menggunakan present tense dalam penjelasannya karena informasinya berupa informasi general dan berlaku kapan pun.
Pengertian report text bagi sebagian siswa yang sedang belajar bahasa inggris kadang sedikit membingungkan dengan pengertian descriptive text. Hal ini bisa dimaklumi mengingat kedua jenis teks bahasa inggris tersebut bertujuan untuk menggambarakan, menginformasikan, atau menjelaskan keadaan sesuatu atau sekumpulan sesuatu. Keduanya secara kasat mata terlihat mirip. Jika descriptive text berisi penggambaran benda atau situasi sebagaimana apa adanya, sedangkan report text berisi informasi lengkap tentang benda atau situasi. Report text sifatnya lebih ilmiah dibandingkan descriptive text.

Secara garis besar, report text terdiri dari dua bagian inti, yaitu:
- General classification, yang berupa pernyataan umum (fokus) mengenai subjek laporan tersebut beserta keterangan dan klasifikasinya.
- Description, yang berupa penjabaran lebih lanjut dari general classification tersebut. Pada bagian ini dipaparkan penjelasan mendalam dilengkapi dengan fakta-fakta pendukung.
Untuk membuat report text dapat dilakukan dengan cara sebagai berikut :
- Tentukan apa yang akan dideskripsikan, sesuatu yang akan dideskripsikan harus umum.
- Buatlah rancangan karangan. Untuk mempermudah dalam membuat rancangan, buatlah beberapa pertanyaan terlebih dahulu.
- Jawaban dari pertanyaan tersebut nantinya akan menjadi pokok pikiran dari report text.
- Kembangkan pokok pikiran.
Misal kita akan membuat report text tentang kambing, buat beberapa pertanyaan tentang kambing, misalnya :
- Kanguru termasuk jenis binatang apa?
- Dimana habitatnya?
- Ada berapa jenis kanguru?
- Seperti apa bentuk dan ciri-ciri kanguru ?
Jawablah pertanyaan-pertanyaan di atas. Setiap jawaban yang kita buat akan menjadi pokok pikiran setiap paragraf. Setelah selesai membuat kerangka karangan, mulailah mengembangkan pokok pikiran menjadi sebuah paragraf.
