Question

Read the following text. Identify the generic structure and the language feature.

A Chinese automobile maker wants to begin selling cars in the United States by the end of 2019. GAC Motor on Monday presented two car models at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. The new models included an electric SUV called the Enverge and a sedan. The new car models will go on sale in China later this year.

GAC says it is negotiating with its partner Fiat Chrysler about how to sell the vehicles in the U.S. The company says it already has two research centers and a design center in the U.S.

Davis Cole is an industry expert and chairman of the AutoHarvest Foundation in Detroit. The non-profit serves to connect industry inventors with each other and investors. Cole told VOA that Americans appear ready to buy Chinese-made cars. He said the automobile company General Motors already sells one, the Buick Envision, in the United States.

He said the quality of Chinese-made cars earlier was, in his words, "not up to what most people would expect here." However, he said there are clear signs of improvement. The new models show, he said, "much better quality and my guess is that as we look to the future, quality differences will probably disappear."

Cole said U.S makers who want to stay on top of the market now must consider former competitors more as partners. He noted Buick as an example. He said it sells about three times as many vehicles in China as in America.

In the U.S. GAC markets its cars under the name "Trumpchi" Cole said the name was interesting in his words, "particularly with the criticism the president had of China and their vehicles that just adds to the drama" However, Trumpchi vehicles are already popular in China. In 2017, GAC sold 500,000 vehicles, which is 37 percent higher than the year before. The company has said the name has no connection to U.S. president Donald Trump. It has been used by GAC since 2010.

Halo, Diandra. Kakak bantu jawab ya,

Jawaban yang tepat untuk pertanyaan ini adalah “The background event are on the second to the fifth paragraphs.”.

Pertanyaan ini meminta kita untuk mencari bagian background event yang ada pada teks tersebut.

background event merupakan ciri dari teks berita (news item). Generic structure dari teks news item adalah:
1. Newsworthy event (kejadian inti)
2. Background event (latar belakang peristiwa atau penjabaran)
3. Source (sumber informasi atau berita)

Dari penjelasan di atas, dapat kita ketahui bahwa background event berada pada bagain setelah paragraf pertama.

Background events pada teks ini berada pada beberapa paragraf, yaitu:
1. GAC says it is negotiating with its partner Fiat Chrysler about how to sell the vehicles in the U.S. (paragraf 2) artinya: GAC mengatakan sedang bernegosiasi dengan mitranya Fiat Chrysler tentang cara menjual kendaraan di AS.

2. Americans appear ready to buy Chinese-made cars (paragraf 3) artinya orang Amerika tampaknya siap membeli mobil buatan China.

3. the quality of Chinese-made cars earlier was not up to what most people would expect but the new models show much better quality (paragraf 4) artinya kualitas mobil buatan China sebelumnya tidak sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan kebanyakan orang tetapi model-model baru menunjukkan kualitas yang jauh lebih baik

4. Cole said U.S makers who want to stay on top of the market now must consider former competitors more as partners. (paragraf 5) artinya Cole mengatakan pembuat AS yang ingin tetap berada di puncak pasar sekarang harus mempertimbangkan mantan pesaing lebih sebagai mitra.

Sehingga dapat disumpulkan bahwa background event ada pada paragraf 2, 3, 4. dan 5.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat untuk pertanyaan ini adalah “The background event are on the second to the fifth paragraphs.”.
