What's Spoof?

What's spoof?

I had learned about spoof when i was at grade 1, in 8SHS {SMAN 8 TANGERANG} :)
I just wanna share to y'all who wants to know more about spoof!
Please check this out!!!

Spoof is an amusing or interesting story that tells events in a chronological sequence. A spoof is like a recount text in that you have to write a non-fiction but humorous story with a twist/unexpected ending. The order that the events is very important.

The communicative purpose of spoof is to entertain reader with an amusing story.

The organization of spoof text divided into 3, that is :
  1. Orientation, present the background information on the who, when and where of the event.
  2. Events, the body tells the events that took place in the order that happened.
  3. Twist/unexpected ending, the event starts to end with an unexpected turn.
And now, i'm gonna give you the example of spoof text :

A STRANGE BEGINNING TO A COURTSHIP
Ben finally found a maintenance job at a prestigious hotel. A few days later he was instructed to check out problem in the ladies toilet. At first, he thought it might be a chocked basin. Having inspected it, he found the basins were in perfect working condition.

Suddenly, he heard a woman screaming “ I can’t get out!. I am stuck, please help!”

Been took out a screwdriver and twisted the locking mechanism to the open position from outside. The door swung open inward and he saw the hotel receptioniststruck in the toilet cubical. She was very embarrassed and both left the toilet quietly.

A few days later, they happened to walk along the same corridor and accidentally bumped into each other still very embarrassed of what happened at the toilet on that fateful day. Six months after the incident they finally overcome their embarrassment and ultimately got married. The first thing they did before they moved into their new house was to replace the bathroom door with one without a lack or latch.
