Struktur dari recount text biasanya terdiri dari tiga bagian utama: orientation, event series, dan reorientation.
1. Orientation
Bagian ini memberikan latar belakang tentang waktu, tempat, dan orang-orang yang terlibat dalam peristiwa atau pengalaman yang akan diceritakan. Orientation biasanya terdiri dari satu atau dua kalimat, dan bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan topik dan konteks dari recount text.
Contoh: Pada bulan Juli tahun lalu, saya dan keluarga saya pergi berlibur ke Bali untuk merayakan ulang tahun pernikahan orangtua saya.
2. Event series
Bagian ini menjelaskan urutan peristiwa atau pengalaman secara detail. Event series biasanya diorganisir dalam urutan kronologis, dimulai dari awal hingga akhir. Setiap peristiwa atau pengalaman diceritakan dengan rinci, termasuk tindakan yang dilakukan, kata-kata yang diucapkan, dan perasaan yang dirasakan pada saat itu.
Contoh: Pertama-tama, kami menginap di hotel di Seminyak selama tiga malam. Kemudian kami pergi ke Pantai Kuta dan menikmati suasana pantai yang ramai. Pada hari terakhir kami di Bali, kami pergi ke Tanah Lot dan menikmati pemandangan matahari terbenam yang indah.
3. Reorientation
Bagian ini menutup recount text dengan memberikan kesimpulan atau pengajaran dari peristiwa atau pengalaman yang diceritakan. Reorientation biasanya berisi pernyataan tentang apa yang dipelajari atau dirasakan, atau bagaimana peristiwa atau pengalaman itu berdampak pada orang yang menceritakannya.
Contoh: Secara keseluruhan, liburan kami di Bali sangat menyenangkan dan bermanfaat. Kami dapat bersantai dan menikmati indahnya pulau Bali, serta memperkuat hubungan keluarga kami.
Dalam penulisan recount text, penting untuk menjaga urutan kronologis yang jelas dan detail yang memadai. Selain itu, penulis harus memperhatikan struktur dan penggunaan bahasa yang tepat untuk membuat recount text mudah dipahami dan menarik bagi pembaca.
Contoh Recount Text
Text 1 - Trip to Monas and Dufan
Last weekend, I went on a trip to Jakarta, to visit two of the city's most popular tourist destinations: (Dufan) and Monas. We started our day at Dufan, a theme park filled with exciting rides and attractions.
We tried many rides, including the roller coaster and the spinning tea cup. We also enjoyed the 4D theater experience and the water park, where we cooled off from the heat of the day. We had so much fun at Dufan that we didn't even realize how quickly time had flown by.
After a day of excitement at Dufan, we headed to Monas, the National Monument of Indonesia. Monas is a 132-meter tall tower located in the center of Jakarta, and it serves as a symbol of Indonesia's independence and its history. On top, we were treated to a stunning view of the city.
We also learned about the history of Indonesia and its journey to independence through the exhibitions and interactive displays in the museum located beneath the tower.
It was a fantastic day in Jakarta, and we were grateful to have had the opportunity to visit the city's most iconic landmarks. Both Dufan and Monas provided us with a unique experience.
Text 2 - Trip to Singapore
Recently, I had the opportunity to take a trip to Singapore. We arrived in the city-state early in the morning and were immediately struck by its modern architecture and bustling streets.
First, we spent the morning exploring the Garden by the Bay, taking in the beautiful sights and learning about the different plant species that call Gardens by the Bay home. We also visited the famous Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, two massive conservatories filled with exotic plants from around the world. The Flower Dome was especially impressive, with its vast array of colorful blooms and impeccable landscaping.
Then secondly, we headed to the Universal Studios theme park, where we rode thrilling roller coasters and watched amazing shows featuring our favorite characters. We also visited the S.E.A. Aquarium, where we marveled at the incredible array of marine life, from gentle manta rays to playful penguins.
Our trip to Singapore was an incredible experience, and we were so grateful. From the stunning gardens and conservatories to the thrilling theme parks, we truly felt like we had seen the best that Singapore had to offer. We can't wait to return and experience more of the city's incredible sights and attractions.
Text 3 - First Experience Riding a Motorcycle
When I was 17 years old, I got my license to ride a motorcycle. I was very excited because I had always wanted to feel what it was like to ride one. One day, my father gave me the opportunity to try it out.
I still remember how nervous I was when I put on the helmet and got on the motorcycle for the first time. My father told me about the gas pedal, brake, and gear lever. I slowly followed his instructions, hoping I wouldn't make any mistakes.
After a while, I felt more confident and started riding the motorcycle more smoothly. I felt the refreshing wind on my face and felt very happy.
However, in the middle of the journey, suddenly I saw a car turning into my lane. I was shocked and hit the brake hard, but the motorcycle slipped and I fell down. I felt pain in some parts of my body, but fortunately nothing serious happened.
I learned a lot from that experience. I realized that riding a motorcycle requires a high level of concentration and patience. I also realized that safety is very important when riding a vehicle. Since then, I always remember the lessons I learned from my first experience riding a motorcycle.
