Maybe a lot of friends is still confused what is the difference between Recount Text with Narrative Text. Indeed both are types of Narration text which is a type of text that tells the story in the past. If we learn narrative text, we will find a complication or problem that appears in a story; this is different from recount text. Do you know what is the difference? Okay I will continue, in recount text, there is only event; and the order of the story is neat. (Note: I’m sorry I’m just new English teacher, I agree that this text is called the ancestor of the narrative text, although in linguistics I have not found a ‘right word’ for this type of text).

For more details, let us understand the following description.

My Vacation with My Beloved People

One day, my sister named Putri said to me that she really wanted to go to the beach. So I promised her that the next week we would go to Mutun beach in Lampung.

The next week, we prepared everything needed in the morning. We brought some foods and beverages, such as chocolate wafers, potato chips, water and orange juice. Before going to the beach, I ask our brother, Bayu, to join us. He agreed to join and we went there together with our parents. We went there by car. It took 3 hours to arrive there. Then, we bought tickets in the entrance gate. Before swimming, we changed our clothes first. We swam there for more than one hour. We felt so tired that we decided to eat the foods that we had brought. Next, three of us created a very big sand castle, while my parents were enjoying the beautiful scenery there. After that, we decided to go home because it was getting dark.

On the way home, we still felt hungry. So we stopped at a restaurant to have dinner. I ordered sruit, Lampungnese traditional food, while my brother, my sister, and my parents ordered fried rice. After finished eating, we paid our bills. Then, we went home. We arrived at home at 9 o��clock. We were tired but we were absolutely happy.

Contoh Recount Text – My Busy Holiday

On February 8th, 2016, I thought this would be a great holiday for me because that was Chinese New Year holiday. I didn��t celebrate the Chinese New Year as I��m not Chinese but I guessed that it was a good time for me to get full refreshing. I was so tired to studying. However, the unpredictable fact broke everything up.

First like an ordinary daughter, I had to get up early morning to help my mother, of course after I prayed. Then I did the dishes, cleaned up my room, and did my bed. I was really in danger if my mom knew that my room was messy. So, I made it as soon as possible. After finishing everything, my aunts called me in the afternoon. I did not meet them for a long time so we kept for hours to talk about some up to date gossips. Not long after that, my neighbor who is also my schoolmate visited me. She asked my help to finish her homework. At last, the time was running and the homework was successfully finished. An unpredictable moment happened after that. To my surprised, I just remembered that I had a lot of homework too. I got confused and regretful why I did not check it. As the consequence, I did my homework until late night and it was hardly finished. Since then, I always check my home work before having a holiday.

I did not feel this was holiday instead of I had to work hard and got a long ship with my homework.

Artinya :

Terjehah : Liburanku yang Sibuk

Tanggal 8 Februari, 2016, saya pikir hari itu akan menjadi hari libur yang sangat menyenangkan bagi saya karena itu adalah hari libur tahun baru China (Imlek). Saya tidak merayakan Tahun Baru Imlek karena saya bukan orang Cina tapi saya berfikir bahwa itu adalah waktu yang tepat bagi saya untuk mendapatkan refreshing sepanjang hari. Aku sangat lelah untuk belajar. Namun, fakta yang tak terduga menghancurkan semuanya.

Pertama seperti layaknya seorang anak perempuan, saya harus bangun pagi untuk membantu ibu, tentu saja setelah saya sholat. Lalu saya mencuci piring, membersihkan kamar saya, dan merapikan tempat tidur. Aku benar-benar berada dalam bahaya jika ibu saya tahu bahwa kamar saya berantakan. Jadi, saya mengerjakannya sesegera mungkin. Setelah menyelesaikan segalanya, bibi saya memanggil saya di sore hari. Saya sudah lama tidak bertemu dengan mereka sehingga obrolan kita berlangsung berjam-jam membicarakan tentang beberapa gosip terkini. Tidak lama setelah itu, tetangga saya yang juga teman sekolah saya mengunjungi saya. Dia meminta bantuan saya untuk menyelesaikan PR-nya. Akhirnya, waktupun berlalu dan pekerjaan rumah berhasil kami selesaikan. Saat yang tak terduga terjadi setelah itu. Saya sangat terkejut ketika saya baru saja ingat bahwa saya punya banyak pekerjaan rumah juga. Saya bingung dan menyesal mengapa saya tidak memeriksanya. Sebagai konsekuensinya, saya mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah saya sampai larut malam dan itu hampir tidak selesai. Sejak saat itu, saya selalu memeriksa pekerjaan rumah saya sebelum memiliki liburan.

Saya tidak merasa hari itu adalah liburan, karena saya justru harus bekerja keras untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan saya.

Minggu lalu, ada kejuaraan bulutangkis Thomas antara Indonesa dan China. Acara digelar di Istora Gelora Bung Karno. Saya pergi ke Istora Gelora Bung Karno bersama kakak saya, Andi.

Sebelum memasuki Istora Gelora Bung Karno, kami melihat bus yang membawa pemain tim bulutangkis Indonesia. Saya melihat taufik Hidayat, Muhammad Ahsan, Hendra Setiawan, Hayom Rumbaka, Angga Pratama, Rian Agung, Simon Santoso, Sony Dwi Kuncoro dan pemain bulutangkis Indonesia lainnya di bus itu. Mereka sangat tampan. Kemudian, kami mengikuti bus itu menuju pintu masuk utama. Saya menemukan bahwa Taufik Hidayat berangkat dari bus. Ketika kami ingin mendekati Taufik Hidayat, seorang satpam menahanku. Tapi, saya pikir satpam itu akrab karena dia adalah teman lama saya saat saya SMA, dia adalah Andre. Setelah itu, dia membiarkan saya masuk, akhirnya saya bisa bertemu Taufik Hidayat dan mendapat tanda tangannya.

Kemudian, saya kembali ke tempat duduk saya di stadion Istora untuk mendukung tim Indonesia. Pendukungnya sangat ramai. Mereka berteriak “IN-DO-NE-SI-A” selama pertandingan berlangsung.
