They use general nouns, linking words, conjunctions, passive voice, and simple present tense. 3. An example explanation text describes how tsunamis form through underwater disturbances causing energy to rise and fall, filtering out in different directions and compressing on shore to form powerful waves.

    What is Explanation Text?

    • Explanation text is a text which tells


    processes relating to forming of natural, or
    sociocultural phenomenon.
    Types of explanation text to be learned:

    1. Sequential explanation; explains a phenomenon in


    terms of a sequence in time.
    For examples:
    The life cycle of butterfly
    How the rain happens

    2. Cause-effect explanation; it links cause and effect in


    explaining how or why phenomenon happens.
    For examples:
    How hurricanes are formed
    How tsunami happens
    How corruption happens.
    How teens addicted to smoking.
    Social Function:

    • To explain how or why something


    happens.
    Generic Structure:

    1. A general statement: stating the


    phenomenon issues which are to be
    explained.
    2. A sequence of explanations: stating a
    series of steps which explain the
    phenomenon.
    3. A conclusion: puts all the information
    together.
    • Focus on general nouns rather than specific ones
    (hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones)
    • Use linking word (therefore, consequently,
    however).
    • Use conjunction ( when, then, as, for, and, etc.)
    • Use passive voice ( to be + V3)
    • Use simple present tense.
    • Use nouns, pronouns, action verbs.
    • Use technical terms and language relevant to the
    subject. (evaporation, camouflage,
    photosynthesis)
    Example of explanation text

    How a Tsunami Happens?

    (General Statement)
    We all know that tsunamis are a series of destructive
    waves and powerful. Tsunami is the deadliest wave
    because the wave speed is incredibly fast. But do
    you know how a tsunami can happen?
    Conjunction
    Technical term General nouns

    Present tense
    (A sequence of explanation)

    Tsunami originated from Japan, “tsu” meaning harbor and “nami”


    meaning wave. They are normally caused by landslides, Passive voice
    earthquakes, volcanic eruptions in, or close to an ocean. After some
    sort of underwater disturbance, this causes energy to rise up to sea
    level pushing the water high into the air. Gravity kicks in and pulls
    it down again and then consequently causing the water to filter out
    into many different directions. Linking word Present tense
    Action verb
    When a tsunami begins to approach the shore the energy in the
    wave is compressed. As a result, the water is pushed up into the
    wave, resulting in a powerful tsunami. If the trough hits the
    shoreline first, it then causes the tide to drastically retreat.
    Linking word noun
    pronoun
    (Conclusion)

    So, tsunamis happen because of natural disasters such as


    earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. People who live near the
    shoreline have to be careful because they are threatened by
    tsunamis whenever there is an earthquake.

    Technical term
    Passive voice

    Linking word
