Disebutkan bahwa A narrative text is an imaginative story
to entertain people (teks narasi adalah cerita imaginatif yang bertujuan
menghibur orang).
Jika melihat pada kamus bahasa
Inggris, secara harfiah narrative bermakna (1) a spoken or written account of
connected events; a story. (2) the narrated part of a literary work, as
distinct from dialogue. (3) the practice or art of narration.
(Narrative bermakna : 1. sebuah
cerita baik terucap atau tertulis tentang peristiwa-peristiwa yang
berhubungan. 2. bagian yang diceritakan dalam sebuah karya sastra, berbeda
dengan dialog. 3. Praktik atau seni bercerita)
Jika disimpulkan, maka sebuah narrative text
adalah teks yang berisi sebuah cerita baik tertulis ataupun tidak tertulis
dan terdapat rangkaian peristiwa yang saling terhubung.
Generic Structure dari Narrative TextBagi sobat yang masih duduk di bangku sekolah tingkat menengah, penjelasan mengenai narrative texts tak usah sulit-sulit ya.. Intinya, narrative text ini mempunyai struktur / susunan seperti di bawah ini :
Kadangkala
susunan (generic structure) narrative text bisa berisi: Orientation, Complication,
Evaluation, Resolution dan Reorientation. Meski “Evaluation” dan
“Reorientation” merupakan optional; bisa ditambahkan dan bisa tidak. Evaluation
berisi penilaian/evaluasi terhadap jalannya cerita atau konflik. Sedangkan Reorientation
berisi penyimpulan isi akhir cerita.
Jika sudah mahir membuat cerita narrative, susunannya bisa diubah-ubah kok, yang terpenting bagian-bagian di atas masih tetap ada dalam tulisan narrative sobat. Grammar Used dalam Narrative TextGrammar (tata bahasa) yang sering muncul dalam membuat narrative text adalah: Menggunakan tenses "Past", baik simple, past perfect, past continuous, past perfect continuous, atau bisa saja past future continuous. (aturan ini bukan aturan wajib yang mutlak harus dipenuhi kok.Tidak percaya, tanyakan pada guru bahasa Inggris sobat) |
