Assalamu'alaikum brother.
Kembali lagi di blog saya, dalam kesempatan kali ini semoga teman teman sekalian juga masih dalam keadaan sehat ya kawan.
Oke kawan, di blog yang kemarin saya sudah sedikit membahas materi tentang Describing a place ya, akan tetapi dalam kesempatan kali ini saya akan membagikan materi tentang Recont text
Bagaimana penjelasan materinya, simak berikut ini.
- Definition
The recount text type retells an experience or an event that happened in the past.
2. Purpose
The purpose of a recount is to inform, entertain, and/or evaluate.
3. Text Structure
Orientation, the first structure that contains information about the character, the scene, when the event took place and so on. The information provided by the author is expected to provide the knowledge or information needed by the reader in order to understand the storyline.
Events, the second structure is the content of the text or in the form of stories about events or experiences that the author wants to convey to the reader.
Reorientation, the third structure contains conclusions as well as summaries or repetition of information contained in the orientation structure.
4. Types of Recount
Personal recount
A 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.?

6. Example
Example of personal account text
A Trip to the National Zoo and Aquarium
Yesterday, my family and I went to the National Zoo and Aquarium to visit the new Snow Cubs and the other animals. In the morning, when we got to the Zoo and Aquarium there was a big big line, so we had to wait a while to get in.
After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the enclosure for the Snow Cubs. My brother and I were so excited to see them. They were so cute and playful. At lunchtime Dad decided to cook a bbq. He cooked sausages so we could have sausage sandwiches. My Mom forgot the tomato sauce so we had to eat them plain. In the afternoon, we visited the aquarium. My brother was excited to see the sharks and the tropical fish. At the end of the day when we left we were going to go and get ice cream but we decided we were too tired so we drove straight home, but of course I was very happy.
7. Writing
When I was little, my favorite activity was playing soccer with my friends on the field. I played football until evening, when I got home I was scolded by my mother for coming home late until evening. After being scolded by my mother told me to take a shower. after I took a shower I immediately ate the food made by my mother.
