• General Classification acts as a gateway to the topic to be
discussed. This section provides an overview of the topic,
starting from the general definition, classification, to the main
relevant characteristics. Through General Classification, the

reader is briefly introduced to the topic that will be further
elaborated in the text.
For example, if the topic is animals, the General Classification
section can provide information about the classification of the
animal, such as mammals, reptiles, or birds. In addition, this
section can also present a general definition of the animal and
the specific characteristics that make it interesting to discuss.

With a strong General Classification, the reader can have a
clear initial picture of the topic that will be further elaborated
in the report text.
• Description contains detailed information about the topic
presented. Description provides a more complete explanation,
including special features, in-depth characteristics, and

important facts that support the General Classification. Thus,
readers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the
topic discussed in the report text.
For example, if the topic is animals, the Description section will
explain in detail about their habitat, food, behavior, and
adaptation.
