kelas XI : Analitycal Exposition, penjelasan dan latihan soal . sangat akurat !

 

PETA KONSEP 

Pernahkah kalian membaca kalimat atau tulisan yang berisi tentang opini (pendapat)? Misalnya seperti kalimat berikut: “Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain role completing our day to day  activities.”  Dalam  bahasa Inggris, kalimat itu biasanya banyak didapati dalam teks analytical exposition. Nah, untuk tahu pengertiannya dan bagaimana penggunaannya, langsung saja kita bahas di bawah ini.

 

Apa itu analytical exposition?

Pengertian atau definisi analytical exposition text sebenarnya sangat mudah dipahami. Secara bahasa, “analytical” bermakna, “examining or liking to examine things very carefully” (Cambridge). Artinya, (suka memeriksa / menguji sesuatu secara hati-hati). Sedangkan makna exposition adalah “a comprehensive description” atau penjelasan secara luas.

 

Dengan demikian, pengertian analytical Exposition bisa dipahami sebagai text yang mencoba memberikan penjelasan secara komprehensif tentang suatu masalah dengan menampilkan pendapat-pendapat pendukung secara hati-hati.

 

Tujuan utama analytical exposition text ini adalah, “to attempt to persuade the reader to believe something by presenting one side of the argument.” Artinya mencoba meyakinkan pembaca agar mempercayai sesuatu dengan memberikan satu sisi pendapat saja.”

 

Teks ini termasuk dalam argumentative text karena menunjukkan suatu pendapat (argumen) terhadap sesuatu. Fungsi sosialnya adalah untuk meyakinkan pembaca bahwa topik yang dihadirkan adalah topik yang penting untuk dibahas.

 

Sudah jelas ya? Sekarang kita akan membahas bagian apa saja yang membentuk

analyctical exposition text. Berikut adalah struktur textnya:

 

1.   Thesis

Pada bagian thesis ini, penulis harus memberitahu pembaca tentang topik utama yang akan ditulisnya. Thesis biasanya bisa ditemukan di paragraf pertama teks. Di bagian ini, pembaca juga bisa melihat mengapa penulis memberikan pendapat terhadap hal yang menjadi topiknya.

2.   Arguments

Di paragraf selanjutnya, kita bisa menemukan bagian arguments. Penulis akan menuliskan pendapat untuk mendukung topik utama yang telah disampaikan sebelumnya. Biasanya dalam analytical exposition terdapat lebih dari dua argumen. Semakin banyak argumen yang ditampilkan, pembaca akan semakin percaya bahwa topik yang dibahas adalah topik yang penting atau membutuhkan perhatian.

 

3.   Reiteration/Conclusion

Bagian  ini  selalu  terletak   di   akhir   teks   dan   menjadi   paragraf   penutup   tulisan. Reiteration berisi penegasan kembali posisi dan pendapat penulis terhadap topik utama.

 

Agar semakin paham, Perhatikan contoh analytical exposition text di bawah ini:

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.

 

When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out.

 

Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered everywhere.

 

Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of dust bins in our schools are not enough. One dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also in the corridors.

 

Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters,   they                 can              find          the          dust          bins        easily.

 

When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.
