A. Pembahasan Soal-soal

Bagian ini membahas soal yang ada di UN Bahasa Inggris SMP dan teks yang
sering muncul di UN. KD teks Interpersonal dan Transaksional tidak muncul
di UN, sehingga pemilihan teks berdasarkan unsur KD dan IPK yang ada di
dalam teks. Dengan demikian, teks deskriptif dipilih karena teks ini memuat
unsur teks interpersonal dan transaksional, yakni berupa penerapan fungsi
sosial, struktur teks, dan unsur kebahasaan teks interpersonal dan
transaksional lisan dan tulis yang melibatkan tindakan memberi dan
meminta informasi terkait perbandingan jumlah dan sifat orang, binatang,
benda, sesuai dengan konteks penggunaannya. Jumlah sifat orang, binatang ,
benda secara lisan dan tulis juga terdapat pada teks deskriptif. Penguasaan
KD ini merupakan prasayarat (prerequisite) untuk menguasai teks deskriptif.

Teks Interaksi Interpersonal dan Transaksional

Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez (or J.Lo) is highly successful actress, singer, and dancer. Her new
films and new albums usually go straight to the top.
What’s a typical working day for her? Making a film is a hard work. She usually
gets up at half past five in the morning and she’s always has a light lunch of just
green salad. She doesn’t like working up late at nights. She is usually in bed by
half past ten. If she stays out late, she will be too tired in the next morning.
Adam Shankman, a director of one of her films, says, “J.Lo is actually a quiet
person. She doesn’t like going out all the time. She often stays at home on
Saturday nights and watches videos.”
If J.Lo isn’t working on a film or making a record, her life style is very different.
When she has got time off, she’s quite happy to go out. She loves New York . They
were very close family. She sees her parents every weekend and she always
phones them if she has a problem. She’s got two older sisters and they get on
very well together. They are not just her sisters; they’re her best friends.

Soal

Reservation officer : Good morning. This is PQR hotel. How can I help you?

Guest : Good morning. I’m Taylor Isabel. I urgently need a

superior room on 1 January.

Reservation officer : I understand your urgency, Madam. But unfortunately no
superior room is available at the moment. Can we recommend you our suite
room?

Guest : No. it will be too expensive. Anyway, Can you do me a
favour?

Reservation officer : Sure, Madam.

Guest : Can you give me name and phone number of a mid-range

hotel where I may get a superior room on that day?

Reservation officer : Sure, Madam. Hold on for a few seconds. (After a few
seconds). It’s ABC hotel. Their number is 123456789. But I cannot guarantee
you with anything. I do hope you will get a room there.

Guest : That’s OK. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Reservation officer : My pleasure, Madam. Thank you for calling. Have a nice
day.

From the text we can conclude that…

A. the guest’s urgency primarily deals with money.
B. the guest is a cheap person.
C. the guest has limited travel budget.
D. the guest actually more prefers PQR hotel to ABC.

Jawaban: D

Jawaban A salah karena urgensi tamu tidak hanya tentang uang akomodasi.

Jawaban B salah karena di dalam teks idak terjelaskan bahwa tamu seorang
yang pelit.

61

Jawaban C tidak terlalu tepat karena kendati jawaban tersebut terasa betul,
namun opsi “limited travel budget” tersebut melingkupi seluruh dana travel,
padahal teks hanya berbicara tentang “accommodation budget”.

Jawaban D benar karena bila saja hotel PQR memiliki kamar superior yang
sesuai dengan dana tamu, maka tamu cenderung akan memilih menginap di PQR
hotel.

B. describe the reservation officer’s excellent service.
C. inform us about the failed transaction between the guest and the officer.
D. tell us the factor that makes the guest cannot get the superior room at the

hotel.
Jawaban: C
Jawaban A salah karena tujuan teks transaksional bukan untuk menjelaskan
alasan.
Jawaban B salah karena tujuan teks transaksional bukan untuk menggambarkan
peristiwa yang terjadi di dalam teks.
Jawaban C benar karena teks ini bertujuan untuk menginformasikan ke
pembaca tentang transaksi antara tamu dan petugas hotel terkait pemesanan
kamar yang tidak berhasil.
Jawaban D salah karena teks transaksional tidak ditujukan untuk
memberitahukan faktor penyebab tamu tidak bisa mendapatkan kamar di hotel

A. cheaper than any other types of room.
B. the cheapest type of room at all hotels.
C. the most afforadable one.
D. more afforadable for all guests.

Jawaban A salah karena teks tidak menjelaskan bahwa harga “superior room”
lebih murah dari jenis kamar yang lain.

Jawaban B benar karena ketika pembaca membandingkan dua hotel dapat
diinferensikan bahwa “superior room” memiliki harga termurah.

Jawaban C salah karena kendati harga “superior room” termurah tetapi belum
tentu semua mampu menjangkaunya.

Jawaban D salah karena harga “superior room” tidak lebih terjangkau untuk
semua tamu.

Freddie : Let’s go see the zebras. They will not roar and scare Lisa.

Lisa Zebras are a lot like horses.
Mom : They are. They have stripes while horses don’t.
: You’re right. Horses don’t have stripes.

Freddie : They have big figure too.

Lisa : But, I do not think their body mass is as big as the lion.

Freddie : In term of body mass, I think the elephant is the champion.

Lisa : Woah, the elephants are very big!

I wonder what the smallest animal at the zoo is.
Dad : It’s the angelfish. It is only as big as your thumb, Lisa.
The animals have comparisons on their descriptions. For examples, zebras have

stripes but horses do not. Horses and zebras are not as big as elephants.

From the text we can conclude that…
A. As tame animal, both zebra and horse has the same body size.
B. Compared to lion, zebra may possibly heavier than lion.
C. Stripes are the horse’s body signature.
D. Lion scares Lisa the most.

Jawaban: B
Jaaban A salah karena dalam teks tertera “they have big figure”, artinya belum
tentu ukuran tubuh mereka sama.
Jawaban B benar karena kalimat “their body mass is as big as the lion” dapat
mengindikasikan bahwa zebra mungkin lebih berat dari singa.
Jawaban C salah karena “stripes” merupakan penciri zebra bukan kuda.
Jawaban D benar tetapi kurang tepat karena dalam teks informasi bahwa Lisa
sangat takut singat tertera jelas, sedangkan bentuk soal mengindikasikan
jawaban implisit bukan eksplisit yang ada dalam teks.

Sub unit teks interaksi transaksional memiliki KD yang sangat banyak
sehingga memerlukan waktu dalam memelajari dan menguasai materi. Teks
ini tidak ditemukan pada soal-soal UN tetapi sebenarnya apabila memelajari
IPK kunci dari KD yang ada itu sebenarnya menjadi prasyarat untuk
menguasai teks deskriptif. Teks deskriptif ini tidak hanya hadir dalam
kehidupan nyata secara tunggal tetapi menjadi bagian dari teks report,
naratif, pengumuman dan lain-lain. Namun yang dibahas di bagian ini adalah
teks deskriptif yang memuat perbandingan jumlah orang, binatang, dan
benda.
Perbandingan berarti seharusnya ada dua teks yang memuat perbandingan
tetapi di UN yang ada adalah jenis teks deskriptif dan report yang berisikan
perbandingan jumlah dan sifat orang, binatang, dan benda. Tidak menutup
kemungkinan bahwa akan ada soal yang benar-benar membandingkan dua
teks yang memuat perbandingan. Selain itu, tantangan berikutnya adalah soal
yang diujikan untuk kemahiran berpikir aras tinggi (higher order thinking
skills) dan langkah-langkah pengembangannya.

• Persepsi guru sebagai pembaca dan pengguna terhadap
