Contoh report text ini dari Modul Ajar Bahasa Inggris SMK NU Miftahul Huda Kepanjen (2022).
Lavender
Lavender is a type of plant found on almost all continents. It has a purplish colour. It has a colour named after it, called lavender. Its Latin and scientific name is Lavandula.
Lavenders are very popular among gardeners. Sometimes their petals are dried and sealed in pouches for good scent, and sometimes put inside clothes to prevent moths, who can damage the clothes.
Lavenders are also used in cake decorating, because the flowers can become candied. Sometimes they are used in flavoring baked goods and chocolate desserts, and sometimes they use it to make a very delicious "lavender sugar". Lavender flowers are also used to make tea. The French make lavender syrup, which is used to make lavender scones and lavender marshmallows.
Lavenders are sometimes put in medicine, too, and sometimes to prevent infection such as lavender oil, that was used in World War 1 to disinfect walls and floors of the hospital. As the folk wisdom says, lavender oil is also helpful to headaches when rubbed on your temple, and lavender tea helps you relax before bed time.
Lavender also is very helpful when applied to insect bites.Sometimes, dried petals of lavender are used to throw confetti at a wedding.

Elephants
Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, and they're one of the most unique-looking animals, too. With their characteristic long noses, or trunks; large, floppy ears; and wide, thick legs, there is no other animal with a similar physique.
Most experts recognize two species of elephant: the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) and the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), who live on separate continents and have many unique features. There are several subspecies that belong to one or the other of these two main species, though experts argue over how many subspecies there are and whether or not they constitute separate species.
African elephants live in sub-Saharan Africa, the rainforests of Central and West Africa and the Sahel desert in Mali, according to National Geographic. Asian elephants live in Nepal, India and Southeast Asia in scrub forests and rainforests.

Panda is a mammal in the bear family. This bear species is a native of central-western and south western China. The panda is also known as the giant panda to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda.
The giant panda has shaggy white fur with a black patch around each eye and a ring of black around the shoulders, front legs, and chest. The biggest giant pandas are about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long and weigh up to 220 pounds (100 kilograms).
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in the Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. It eats the leaves and stems of bamboo trees. The giant panda is an endangered species. There may only be about 1,000 of these animals left in the wild.
4. Report Text berjudul ''The Moon"

The Moon
The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth. The Moon is the second brightest object in the Earth's sky after the Sun. The natural satellites of the other planets in the solar system are also sometimes referred to as moons.
The Earth's Moon is now known to be a slightly egg-shaped ball composed mostly of rock and metal. It has no liquid water, virtually no atmosphere and is lifeless. The Moon shines by reflecting the tight of the Sun. Although the Moon appears brightly to eyes, it reflects on average only 12 percent of the light that falls on it. This reflectivity of 0.12 is similar to that of coal dust. This reflectivity is called albedo.
The temperatures on most of the Moon's surface are too extreme for water or ice to exist, ranging from a maximum of 7270C (2610 F) at lunar noon to a minimum of -1730C (-2790F) just before lunar dawn. Temperatures in permanently shadowed areas near the lunar poles, however, may consistently be as low as -2200C (-3640F).
Comets and micrometeoroids that strike the Moon release gases that contain water. The gases would form an extremely thin atmosphere that would hen migrate to the coldest regions of the poles and condense, forming ice that combines with the lunar soil.
5. Report Text berjudul ''Cows"
Contoh report text ini dari Modul Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris Report Text Madrasah Tsanawiyah (2020).
Cows are very useful to mankind, in supplying them with milk from which both butter and cheese are made.
Their young ones are called calves, and the flesh of calves is veal. A good Cow will give about fifteen or more quarts of milk a day, but much depends upon the quality of the pasture she feeds upon. Her age is told by her horns; after she is three years old a ring is formed every year at the root of the horn, so that by counting the number of circles, her age may be exactly known.
Cows are sometimes prettily marked with black, brown, and yellow spots, and, as they lie scattered about a green meadow, add much to the charms of a landscape
6. Report Text berjudul "Bears"
Contoh report text ini dari Modul Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris Report Text Madrasah Tsanawiyah (2020).
Bears
Bears are mammals of the family Ursidae. Bears are classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivores, with the pinniped being their closest living relatives. Although there are only eight living species of bear, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found in the continents of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
Common characteristics of modern bears include a large body with short and solid legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonrestrictive claws, and a short tail. While the polar bear is mostly carnivorous and the giant panda feeds almost entirely on bamboo, the remaining six species are omnivorous, with largely varied diets including both plants and animals.
With the exceptions of courting individuals and mothers with their young, bears are typically solitary animals. They are sometimes diurnal, but are usually active during the night (nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular). Bears are aided by an excellent sense of smell, and despite their heavy build and awkward gait, they can run quickly and are adept climbers and swimmers
