D. Generic Structure Explanation Text :

• Introduction: Contains an opening statement and usually there is also a definition of what will be discussed in the text.

• Explanation sequences: An explanation/content of the discussion of the text. Usually it is broken down into several paragraph sequentially.

• Conclusion: The final part of the Explanation Text contains a conclusion from the discussion as the closing text.

E. Language Feature Explanation Text :

• Using the present tense, because the explanation text discusses a fact.

• Using complex noun groups, it aims to build detailed descriptions for example, 'Threatening', 'Rampaging' or 'Enormous' and many more.

• Using abstract nouns such as 'heat', 'earthquakes', 'floods', and others.

• Use sentences with clear subjects and use the verb agreement.

• Using action verbs to explain the cause of the phenomenon under discussion such as 'from' or 'started from'.

• Use an adverbial phrase from a time and place to tell when and where the incident took place.  For example. ‘Its is to be found in Sulawesi, Indonesia’.

• Use conjunctions to link time sequences in causal order.  For example 'after', 'finally', 'so', 'then' and others.

• Using passive voice which is useful for emphasizing the focus of events that are taking place.

• Using time conjunctions, for example, 'when', 'as'. This time conjunction is to order and connect events so that the written text is more fluid. This time conjunction can be placed first in a sentence to focus the reader's attention.

• Use technical terms or word chains about the subject.
