Recount Text - Penjelasan & Contoh
Belajar memahami kembali recount text lagi... Jika sobat masih bingung cara membuat recount text, alangkah baiknya sobat baca tulisan ini. Mungkin saja penjelasan tentang recount text ini bisa membantu mempermudah pemahaman jenis teks yang "konon" mirip dengan narrative text ini.
Jika dalam narrative text, ada sebuah komplikasi atau masalah yang
muncul dalam sebuah cerita; maka berbeda dengan recount text. Apa sih
bedanya? Oke kita lanjutkan, dalam recount text, yang ada hanya sebuah
peristiwa saja (event); serta urutan-urutan ceritanya tertata rapi. (Note: Mohon maaf saya bukan guru bahasa Inggris, saya sebenarnya lebih setuju jika recount text ini dikatakan sebagai nenek moyang narrative text. Meski dalam linguistics saya belum menemukan 'kata yang pas' untuk jenis teks ini).
Untuk lebih jelas, mari kita pahami keterangan berikut.
Pengertian Recount Text

My Adolescence
I had my adolescence when I was thirteen.
It started with acne that showed up on my face. It was very annoying. It lowered my self-esteem and I was embarrassed to come out of my house and play with friends.
Fortunately, my Mum gave me a good medicine. In three weeks, the acnes
started to vanish although those showed some black spots in my face.
That was my bad experience with adolescence, though there were still lots of good experience too.
Analisa :
Orientation : Paragraf pertama, (I had my adolescence when I was thirteen)
Events : Paragraf kedua dan ketiga.
Reorientation : Paragraf keempat (terakhir)

My First Experience to Ride Motorcycle
ditulis oleh Resdwitarini
One day, when I was ten years old, my father bought an old motorcycle.
That was " Honda 75". I think it was small light object and easy to ride
it. I persuaded my father to teach me to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly,
my father refused my request and promised that he would teach me two or
three years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my father
surrendered and promised to teach me.
He began to teach me riding the motorcycle around a field in my village. My father was very patient to give me some directions. I was very happy when I realized my ability to ride a motorcycle. " Yes, I can ".
One day later, when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding ability. So, myself tried bravely. All ran fluently in the beginning, but when I was going back to my home and I must passed through a narrow slippery street, I got nervous. I lost my control and I fell to the ditch.
After that, I told my father about the last accident. I imagined my father would be angry and never let me ride again. But the reality is exactly on the contrary, my father was very proud of me. He just gave me some advices and since that accident, I got my father's permission to ride motorcycle.

A Page from A Girl's Diary

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
It was takbiran night. It was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had thought nothing would happen, but I was wrong.
That night, I was
watching television with my family when I heard someone lit fireworks
in my front yard. I peeped trough my window glass but could see
nothing. It was very dark outside. Then I thought it had to be my
cousins who lit the fireworks. Then I plopped down on my sofa again and
tried to concentrate on the television since my mind raced with
disappointment that no one gave something special on my birthday. I
shrugged, it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist. Five
minutes later my mobile beeped. It was a text from my friend asking me
to come out. Wondering what was going on, I grabbed my jacket and
hurried to the front door. I was surprised to see her bring a bag full
of firework and fire drills. Next I was surprised to see my other friend
come out from the darkness. She brought a beautiful birthday cake on
her hands. Oh my God! I shrieked. Then they gave the cake to me who was
too stunned to say anything. I realized I was blushing furiously
because my whole family was watching. Not to mention my neighbors too!
A plain day, or I
thought it was before, turned out to be one of the greatest moment in
my life. I didn’t even know how to describe what I felt. Happy was the
simplest word.

My Horror Experience
I
stayed a night at Sakhuwa of Gati VDC because a landslide near Baseri
had blocked the road, The next morning, I hopped onto the bus with
registration number Ba 2 Kha 4013 that was on the way to Barhabise from
Tatopani.
I
took a seat by the doorside and remember that there were around 35
passengers, including me. The driver started the bus. A kilometer into
the journey, I noticed a ditch on the road.
The driver tried to avert the ditch. Before I could know what was going on, the bus started hurtling towards the Bhotekoshi.
I
had given up hope of surviving, but found a ventilator glass broken. I
came out of the shattered glass and plunged into the Bhotekoshi.
The
river carried me for about 35 kilometers and left me on the shallow
surface. I passed out after that. The rescuers took me to a hospital
when I regained consciousness.
I
heard later that all except four passengers had survived. I have
sustained injuries on the face, hands and other body parts. Nonetheless,
I feel that surviving was my destiny.
