which can help the readers to assume what will be described in a descriptive text. It is different with Book 1 and Book 2. From 13 descriptive texts in Book 1, only
descriptive text 13 that has a title see Appendix 1, page 76. For the descriptive materials in Book 2, none of the descriptive texts in Book 2 that has a tittle. That
are the difference of descriptive texts in Book 1 and Book 2 with the descriptive text according to Gerot and Wignell. Overall, for the descriptive materials, it can
be concluded that Book 1 has better descriptive materials than Book 2.
4.4.2 The Lexico-Grammatical Features Comparison of Recount Texts
According to Gerot and Wignell 1994:194, a recount text has the following significant lexico-grammatical features:
1.
Focus on specific participants.
2.
Use of material processes.
3.
Circumstances of time and place.
4.
Use of past tense.
5.
Focus on temporal sequence.
Both of Book 1 and Book 2 give the recount texts in the recount materials that have fulfilled all of the lexico-grammatical features. Book 1 gives more
variations of recount texts than Book 2. As it is explained before, Book 1 gives four texts in the recount materials, while Book 2 only gives two texts in the
recount materials.
The recount texts in Book 1 have more balanced distribution of each element in the significant lexico-grammatical features and distribution of
processes than Book 2. As suggested by Gerot and Wignell, a recount text should have material
processes. Even though , the recount texts in both of Book 1 and Book 2 have other processes besides material processes. For the recount materials in Book 1,
recount text 1 has mental, verbal, and behavioural processes besides the material processes see Appendix 2, page 84. Recount text 2 has behavioural, verbal,
rational, and mental processes see Appendix 2, page 87. Recount text 3 has relational, mental, behavioural, and verbal processes see Appendix 2, page 89.
Recount text 4 has behavioural, mental, and relational processes see Appendix 2, page 91.
For the recount materials in Book 2, recount text 1 has relational, mental, behavioural, existential, and verbal processes see Appendix 5, page 105. While
recount text 2 has relational, mental, and behavioural processes see Appendix 5, page 111.
Both of Book 1 and Book 2 gives the recount materials that are appropriate with the Curriculum 2013. However, Book 1 gives more variation of
recount texts than Book 2. Although Book 1 gives more variation of recount texts than Book 2, none of recount texts in Book 1 that has the title. It is difference with
Book 2. Both of recount texts in Book 2 have titles, just like the recount text suggested in Making Sense of Functional Grammar book see Appendix 8, page
123.
