Narrative texts are usually fantasy

events/experience in a chronological sequence for the purpose of informing or
entertaining, to describe how something is accomlished through a sequence of actions or steps, and to describe
the way things are with reference to a range of natural man-made and social
phenomena in our environment.

How
to differ from other writing genres
how to distinguish a narrative text with other text is
very simple we just need to know what part of the narrative text , and what are
the characteristic of narrative text
Narrative text consists of three main parts :
( 1 ) Orientation is when the author describes a world for the story , such as
providing information in a story where the incident occurred , as well as
anyone figures involved in the story , so the reader more easly to understand
the story.
( 2 ) Complications are currently the main character in the story usually find
obstacles, face hurdles when he wanted to get something, this is where the main
character will encounter various difficulties .
( 3 ) Resolution is when the main character find a solution or a way out for
all the problems faced in this section the author sometimes gives a happy
ending or a sad ending , and it is possible that the authors provide no clear
end or hanging ending , is intended to make the reader make a guess at the end
of the story .
From the point of view of language features , narrative text is characterized
as follows :
1 . Participants are specific and often individually
2 . Lot of action verbs ( material processes) , and there is also the use of
verbal and mental processes .
3 . Usually use the Past tense .
4 . Use lingking Many Words related to time .
5 Often incorporate dialogue and tense will probably change .
6 Descriptive language used for creating images in the minds of readers.
7 can be written in the first person ( 1 ) , or third ( he, she , they ) .
After knowing the form of narrative text and also a characteristic of narrative
text then we can easily distinguish the narrative text with other text .
2.Write the steps
how to make a narrative writing. Don't forget to give example for every step.
The first step is chose the good topic, the topic is the key when the
reader read the paragraph.
The second step in
making a narrative paragraph
is to determine the topic sentences, topic sentences
is the main idea
in a paragraph,
when we have
determined that we can develop
topic sentences paragraphs
more easily for the example :
·
The unforgettable moment is 6 days ago it was
my birthday. (paragraph one)
·
That morning, I went to college with excited of course because
it was my birthday, and at the time I was 20 years old, on the way I have
imagined how my friends would give congratulate and surprise. (paragraph two )
·
Finally, I
arrived in class I go and sit beside my
friends, but after a while I realized that there
was something different from them, they look so silent, when I invited them to chat
they did not answer my question, in break time they keep away and as if against
me. (paragraph three)
the third step is
make a controling idea for example:
·
The unforgettable moment is 6 days ago
·
That morning, I went to college with excited of course because
it was my birthday.
The thirdstep is we
have to write the paragraph using past tense because the text is a narrative that tells
the story of an event that happend in the past,for example :
·
Finally, I
arrived in class I go and sit beside my
friends.

me, 20 years ago when all my family happy because I was born and on that day I opened
my eyes to see the world.
That morning, I went to college with excited
of course because it was my birthday, and at the time I was 20 years old, on
the way I have imagined how my friends would give congratulate
and surprise. when I arrived in campus I was very shocked because my
friends had entered the class and that means lecturer has came, I went up the
stairs in hurry.

in class I go and sit beside my friends. but after a while I realized that
there was something different from them, they look so silent, when I invited them
to chat they did not answer my question, in break time they keep away and as if
against me. Even when the break time no one invited me to have lunch
together, when I asked them no one answer my question, I was very confused and I
did not know what should I do. I
thought that maybe they did not remember about my birthday. After the lessons ended,
I was getting ready to went home and I took one of my friends to went home together
but they did not want to went home with me.
I was very sad at that time, why all of
my friends so different and no one of them remembered about my birthday. and no one
gave me surprised, when I arrived at home I tried to called my boyfriend but
the number was busy, so I decided to text him but he did not reply me, did my
boyfriend forgot about my birthday? I tried to calm down, and did not expect
anything again because expectations is always hurts.
in the afternoon I spend my spare time to
watch TV and chat with my brother, suddenly there was the sound of people
knocked on the door, when I opened the door I was amazed that my friends come to
