Contoh News Item Text Bahasa Inggris Lengkap dengan Fitur 5W+1H

Bobo.id - Salah satu jenis teks yang kita pelajari dalam pelajaran Bahasa Inggris tingkat menengah adalah news item text.

Pengertian news item text adalah jenis tulisan yang memberikan informasi aktual (sesuai fakta) tentang kejadian yang penting untuk diberitakan.

Tujuan news item text adalah untuk memberikan informasi kepada pembaca atau pendengar. Biasanya, news item text memberikan informasi yang merupakan peristiwa terbaru.

Seperti jenis teks pada umumnya, news item text juga memiliki ciri kebahasaan atau language feature.

Ciri kebahasaan dalam news item text adalah:

1. Using simple past tense

Simple past tense adalah bentuk kalimat untuk mengungkapkan suatu kejadian di masa lampau. News item text menggunakan past tenses karena ia mengabarkan berita yang sudah terjadi.

2. Using saying verbs

Umumnya, news item text menyertakan kutipan langsung dari narasumber. Contohnya adalah President said, he said, she reported, they stated, dan lainnya.

Said, reported, stated merupakan salah satu contoh saying verbs. Jadi, saying verbs adalah kata kerja yang identik terjadi pada aktivitas percakapan.

3. Using action verbs

4. Using adverbs: time, place, manner

Dalam news item text, adverbs yang digunakan adalah time, place, and manner.

Adverbs of time adalah kata keterangan waktu, place yaitu kata keterangan tempat, dan adverbs of manner adalah adverb untuk menyatakan bagaimana cara suatu kegiatan dapat dilakukan atau bagaimana sebuah peristiwa bisa terjadi.

5. Terdapat 5W+1H

News item text adalah teks yang ditulis berdasarkan fakta, sehingga harus ada kejelasan mengenai Who (siapa), When (kapan), Why (kenapa), What (apa), Where (di mana), dan How (bagaimana).

Earthquake on Indonesia’s Main Island of Java Kills at Least 162 People

At least 162 people have been killed after a magnitude-5.6 earthquake struck Indonesia’s main island of Java, triggering landslides and causing buildings to collapse.

The US Geological Survey said the quake, which struck late in the afternoon, was centred in the Cianjur region of West Java province at a depth of 6.2 miles (10km).

Ridwan Kamil, the governor of West Java, said 162 people had been killed.

“The majority of those who died were children,” he said, adding that many were students who were taking extra lessons. “So many incidents occurred at several Islamic schools.”

Footage from Cianjur showed a school building with a collapsed roof, as well as badly damaged homes where brick walls had been torn down. At a local hospital, overwhelmed by the number of victims, the injured were treated outside, some lying on mattresses or blankets on the ground as they were given oxygen masks and IV drips.

Gen Suharyanto, the head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), said the nearby Sayang hospital had no power after the quake, hampering efforts to treat victims, and that more medical staff were needed.

Mus Mustopa, who lives in Padaluyu, a village in Cianjur, told Indonesia’s Kompas TV he helped a family recover the body of an 80-year-old woman who had died in the quake. It happened suddenly, he said. “I wasn’t prepared and saw houses reduced to rubble … Some 50 houses are damaged, with around 10 being heavily damaged.”

Several landslides were reported across Cianjur. Dozens of buildings were damaged, including an Islamic boarding school, a hospital and other public facilities, the BNPB said. Information was still being collected about the extent of casualties and damage, the agency added.

Rescue workers and volunteers searched for victims who were trapped or injured beneath the rubble of collapsed buildings.

Ima Mafazah, a volunteer with the Indonesian Red Cross, said tremors continued late into the evening. “Until now, the earthquake still happens, but not as big as before. A minute ago it happened again. Many people don’t want to stay at their homes,” she said, adding that people were traumatised and afraid, and were sleeping outside.

Homes had been damaged across a wide area, and access was difficult due to cracked roads, said Mafazah. Nurses had been sent by the Indonesian Red Cross on motorbikes to reach the injured as four of the worst-affected areas, about one hour from the main town, were otherwise inaccessible.

Power is down and communications were also affected, making rescue efforts more difficult, she added.

The quake was felt in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, about 60 miles (100km) away, where some buildings were evacuated, and high-rises were shaken.
