III. METHODOLOGY
A.
TECNIQUE FOR ANALYSIS
In the discussion of the text, there are four linguistic structure that
is visible fro the main idea each paragraph in the discussion of the text as
the text forming material that is:
1. Issue.
Issue lies in the paragraph that contains
placement problems or issues to be discussed
2. Supporting points
In this section, the author presents
argument for the issue. In each paragraph supporting point consists of two
components including the main idea of the paragraph and elaboration or
description and the main idea of paragraph.
3. Contrasting points.
In this section, the author presents arguments against the issue of
problem. As in paragraph supporting point, contrasting point also present two
components forming the main idea of the paragraph and elaboration or
description of the main idea of the paragraph.
4. Conclusion

Example:
THE ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF POWER NUCLEAR
o
Issue.
Nuclear power is generates by using uranium which is a metal in
various part of the world. The first large scale of nuclear power station was
opened at calder hall in cumbia, England in 1956.
o
Supporting points
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for
engine. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world’s energy needed, and
produces huge amounts of energy. It causes no pollution as we would get when
burning fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow:
1.
It costs about the same coal,
so it is not expensive to make.
2.
It does not produce smoke or
carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the green house effect.
3.
It produces huge amount of
energy from small amount of Uranium.
4.
It produces small amount of
waste.
o
Contrasting points
On the other hand, nuclear power is very dangerous. It must be
sesled up and bursed for many years to allow he radioactivity to die away.
Furthermore, although it is relishle, a lot of money has to be spenton safety
because if it does growing, a nuclear accident can be major accident.
o
Conclusion
People are increasing concerned about this matter, in the 1990’s
nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the
world.
