Question

Two Farmers

Two farmers had a big horse. This was fifty years ago, when farmers used horses a lot. The horse worked in the day and slept in a stable at night.

The horse was a big animal, and the entrance of its ears hit the top of the entrance. The horse did not like this. It got angry and often kicked the farmers.

‘What can we do about this problem?’ they often asked.

After a long time, one of them thought of an answer. He said, ‘Let’s cut away the top of the entrance will be higher.’

So they found a saw and started cutting. Their saw was old and not very good, so the work was hard.

After a few minutes, a friend came to see them. ‘What are you doing?’ their friend asked.

The farmers told him about the problem. The friend said, ‘You don’t have to cut the entrance with a saw. You can dig the entrance with a spade. Then the floor will be lower. That’ll be easier and quicker.’

The farmers thanked their friend, and he went away. Then one farmer said to the other, ‘That man’s stupid. The horse’s ears are the problem, not its feet.’

Jawaban untuk soal di atas adalah "The structures of the text are Orientation, Complication, Resolution, and Reorientation."

Soal ini meminta untuk mengidentifikasi struktur dari teks.

Pada paragraf pertama terdapat kalimat "Two farmers had a big horse. This was fifty years ago, when farmers used horses a lot" yang artinya "Dua petani memiliki seekor kuda besar. Ini lima puluh tahun yang lalu, ketika petani banyak menggunakan kuda."

Kemudian di paragraf kedua disebutkan "The horse did not like this. It got angry and often kicked the farmers" yang artinya "Kuda itu tidak menyukai ini. Ia marah dan sering menendang para petani."

Berdasarkan kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa jenis teks ini adalah Narrative Text, yang merupakan teks non-fiksi.

Struktur dari Narrative Text yaitu:
- Orientation, pembuka teks yang mengenalkan siapa tokoh yang terlibat dalam kejadian (who) serta latar waktu (when) dan tempat yang melatarbelakangi kejadian (where)
- Complication, menjelaskan awal masalah.
- Resolution, menjelaskan akhir cerita.
- Reorientation, kondisi terakhir dari tokoh dalam cerita atau pesan moral cerita.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "The structures of the text are Orientation, Complication, Resolution, and Reorientation."
