Rangkuman

• Ice Breakers in Conversation
  • Ice breakers are strategies or activities used to help people start a conversation and make the situation more comfortable, especially in new social settings.
  • Once a conversation has started, expressions for guessing and sustaining a conversation (e.g., "Could you be…", "Could it be…", "I wonder if…") help keep it going and interesting.
• Report Text
  • A report text provides factual information about a specific topic, staying objective and neutral in tone.
  • Structure of report text: General Classification (Introduction), Description (Body), and Conclusion (Optional).
  • Generic terms are general words that introduce broad concepts; technical language refers to specific terms used to describe specialized ideas in a particular field.
• Unity Paragraph & Supporting Sentences
  • Unity in a paragraph means all sentences work together to support a single main idea, introduced by a clear topic sentence.
  • Supporting sentences explain, expand, or provide evidence for the main idea introduced in the topic sentence.
