1.1. Learning Objectives
In this chapter, we will explore how to provide information about tourist destinations and culinary delights. The goal is to master the art of describing specific places (Descriptive) and reporting general facts about tourism and food (Report).
1.2. Key Vocabulary
To write effective texts, you need a strong vocabulary of adjectives:
| Category | Adjectives | Meaning |
| Culinary | Savory, Spicy, Tangy, Crunchy, Exquisite | Related to taste and texture. |
| Tourism | Picturesque, Ancient, Vibrant, Tranquil, Lush | Related to the atmosphere and view. |
| General | Global, Traditional, Natural, Artificial | Related to origin and type. |
1.3. Social Function
- Descriptive Text: To describe a particular person, place, or thing in detail.
- Report Text: To describe the way things are in general, based on systematic observation and facts.

2.1. The Generic Structure
- Identification: Introduces the specific object to be described (e.g., "The Way Kambas National Park").
- Description: Provides details about the features, appearance, or characteristics of that specific object.
2.2. Language Features
- Use of Simple Present Tense.
- Focus on Specific Participants (One specific object).
- Use of Sensory Images (What we see, smell, taste, and feel).
2.3. Example: "The Authentic Rendang of West Sumatra"
"Rendang is a world-famous meat dish from the Minangkabau region. The beef is slow-cooked in coconut milk and a rich spice paste until the liquid evaporates. The result is a dark, tender, and highly savory dish. The complex aroma of lemongrass and galangal makes it truly unforgettable."
2.4. Guided Activity
Identify the Identification and Description parts in the text above. List three adjectives used to describe the food.
Page 3: Mastering Report Text
2.1. The Generic Structure
- General Classification: Stating what the object is in general (e.g., "Traditional Markets").
- Description (Bundle of Traits): Describing the object's parts, qualities, or habits as a group/category.
2.2. Language Features
- Use of General Nouns (e.g., "Beaches" instead of "Sanur Beach").
- Use of Relating Verbs (is, are, have) to state facts.
- Technical or scientific terms.
2.3. Example: "The Role of Traditional Markets in Tourism"
"Traditional markets are public places where buyers and sellers meet to trade goods. In many countries, these markets serve as tourism hubs. They offer a glimpse into the local lifestyle and authentic culinary ingredients. Most traditional markets are organized into sections, such as the produce area and the ready-to-eat food stalls."
2.4. Descriptive vs. Report: Comparison Table
| Feature | Descriptive Text | Report Text |
| Subject | Specific (e.g., My Village) | General (e.g., Villages) |
| Perspective | Personal / Subjective | Factual / Objective |
| Example | "The banana chips I made..." | "Banana chips are a snack..." |

4.1. Culinary and Tourism Synergy
Culinary tourism, or "Gastronomy Tourism," is the practice of traveling to explore food. When we write about this, we often combine Facts (Report) with Personal Experiences (Descriptive) to attract visitors.

4.3. Chapter Summary
By the end of Chapter 5, students should be able to:
