Recount
text adalah sebuah teks dalam bahasa Inggris yang menceritakan pengalaman di
masa lalu atau masa lampau yang berisikan suatu peristiwa, aktivitas, dan hal
menarik lainnya.
Tujuan
teks recount adalah agar para pembaca dapat merasa terhibur serta mengetahui
apa maksud cerita yang disampaikan oleh si penulis kepada si pembaca.
· Struktur Recount Text
Dalam pembuatan recount text kita
harus memperhatikan struktur apa saj yang menjadi bagian dalam teks tersebut,
yakni:
-Orietation
Adalah bagian pada recount text
yang memperkenalkan tokoh, karakter, tempat, serta waktu dalam cerita tersebut.
Jadi and cukup memikirkan “who”, “where”, “when”, “what”, and “how”.
-Events
Event dibuat setelah bagian
Orientation. Karena bagian events berfungsi untuk menjelaskan lebih rinci
peristiwa-peristiwa yang berlangsung dalam cerita trsebut. Disini biasanya
letak isi pokok dalam suatu peristiwa yang ingin penulis sampaikan.
-re-orientation
Re-orientation adalah bagian akhir
dari recount text. Isinya pun bebas. Jadi si penulis berhak menceritakan
kesimpulan ataupun “personal opinion” dalam bagian ini.

My Vacation in
Bali
When I was 3nd grade of junior high school, my friends and I
trip to Bali for vacation. We were there for five days. We got many precious
experiences during the vacation.
First day, we visited Kuta Beach in the morning. We saw the
lovely sunrise there. It was an outstanding view. Then, we checked in to the
hotel at the night. After taking a nap at the hotel, we went to Tanah Lot.
Tanah lot was nice place. It was lovely place for taking photo. We saw so many
tourists there.
Second day, we spent our time on Tanjung Benoa beach. We
played water sports at there. We drove banana boat and speed boat. In the
afternoon, We went to Penyu island to see unique animals such as big turtles,
snake, and sea birds. We felt enjoyed and happy.
The last day, we went to Sangeh. We could enjoy the shady forest. There were so
many monkeys. Sometimes the monkey could be naughty. We could be really close
with them. After that, we visited to Sukowati Market. I bought Bali T-Shirt,
souvenirs and some food for gift there
At the night, we had to check out from the our hotel. We went
back home and bring so many unforgettable memories of Bali.
