Bagaimana penjelasan materinya, simak di bawah ini... 

1. Definition

Recount Text is a type of text that contains stories of our experiences in the past. The purpose of Recount Text is usually to retell and provide information and entertain the reader.

3. Text Structure 

a) Orientation – It gives the readers the background information needed to understand the text, such as who was involved, where it happened, and when it happened.

 b) Events – A series of events, ordered in a chronological sequence.

 c)  Re-orientation – A personal comment about the event or what happened in the end

4. Types of Recount 

a)  Personal recount

 personal recount is what’s most likely to be covered in school. This type of recount writing is all about the writer’s recollection of a particular event or experience. It includes things like diary writing, but it’s also what we do whenever we tell someone a story about something that happened to us.

 b) Factual recount

 A factual recount includes things like newspaper reports. The purpose of a factual recount is to inform (rather than entertain) the reader about a particular event. Because of this, adverbs and adjectives are less important. You’ll often see facts and figures in this kind of recount writing.

 c) Imaginative recount

 This kind of recount writing applies factual knowledge of an event to create a fictional account of that event. The purpose of an imaginative recount is to help the reader understand an event by providing a fictional recount that’s as true-to-life as possible. They’re perfect for creative writing lessons.

 d) Procedural recount

 Procedural recounts aren’t very common in English lessons - they’re more for scientists. In fact, they’re most often used to describe an experiment so that it can be replicated by others. Because of this, the language needs to be exact. Procedural recounts might not even involve the use of full sentences.

 e)   Literary recount

 This kind of recount writing is all about entertainment. They can be about fictional or real events and involve real or fictional characters. For an interesting writing challenge, why not try exploring a fictional event with real characters, and vice versa.?

5. Language Comperation 

There are some language features in personal recount text, those are:

 a) Using simple past tense

 i.g. I spent my holiday in Yogyakarta and I was very happy

 b) Using action verbs

 i.g. spent, went, brought, took, etc

 c) Using adverb or adverbial phrase to express time and place

 i.g. last month, in Malang, lately, etc.

 d) Using conjunction and time connectives to connect an event to the other event

 i.g. and, or, after, before, after that, then, when, first, etc.

6. Sample  

Expired Free Ticket 

Last week I went to the theater. It was the only theater at my town. I had one free ticket to watch a movie. I had no idea about the movie I would like to watch and I did not know the schedule of that theater. So that, I just wanted to come and see if there was any good movie.

 I parked my motorcycle at the parking area and I walked slowly at the hall of the theater. I took my ticket on my wallet and go to the information section to ask about how to use the ticket that day. Unfortunately, I missed it. The ticket was already expired 2 days before.

 I went home and I was very disappointed about that.

My Holidays

One night, after a full dinner, I rushed to pack my clothes.  Starting from sleeping clothes to clothes for going on vacation.  After packing, I went to bed to sleep and hoped that it would be morning soon so I could go on vacation.

 The next day, my father started the car.  We got into the car and left.  On the way we saw various beautiful and beautiful sights. On each trip we did not forget to stop by the mosque.  Unnoticed in the afternoon, we arrived at Parangtritis beach.  There we started taking pictures together, swimming and playing in the sand.  After that we went to eat and drink coconut water while chatting.  After we were full we started back to the car to continue our journey to the city.  We reached the city at night, we rested in the hotel.

 The next day we swam at the hotel and continued with breakfast.  After a few hours, we started checking out of the hotel and continued our journey to the Merapi Museum, Yogyakarta.  There we learned a lot of history about the tragedy of the eruption of Mount Merapi.  After that we continued our journey for lunch.  Until it's time for us to go home.  And did not feel we had arrived at our house.  That's a little experience from me and my family
