 Hello everyone, how are you today? I hope you're happy and healthy

Today's blog is about Recount text, so without further ado, let's read what Recount text is

WHAT IS RECOUNT TEXT?

Recount Text is a type of text that contains stories about our experiences in the past. We can know that understanding from the name alone, namely Recount which means 'to retell'.

Because the stories that are written are things that happened in the past, the tenses we use are Simple Past Tense. In addition, there is also the use of adverbial phrases or what we can call an 'adverb of place and time.' Yes, yes, we definitely need to explain where and when the experience took place.

For some cases, when writing a recount text, we sometimes need to use connective adverbs, such as first, next, then, last, finally, and so on, to show the sequence of events that we are telling.

TYPES OF RECOUNT TEXT

There are several kinds of Recount Text, pal, such as:

Factual Recount

This first recount text tells facts such as scientific reports, police reports, or real events in history.

Personal Recount

This Recount Text must be familiar to Smart Buddy. Personal Recount is a text that contains our personal experiences. Examples of short recount texts that we can encounter on a daily basis, namely notes that read about the events that we experienced today or tweets that contain our stories. It can all be assembled into a Recount Text, pal.

Imaginative Recount

This third recount text is perfect for those of us who have high imagination because it contains imaginative experiences. What is the example text like? For example, let's talk about our experience watching and enjoying the concert of a favorite Kpop group in a dream. Who likes this kind of thing?

RECOUNT TEXT STRUCTURE

Orientation

At the beginning, we need to write down the character or characters, the location, and also the time it occurs. In this section, we introduce and provide information to the reader in order to understand the whole story that we write.

For example: Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver.

From this example we can know, "Oh, what we are talking about is the story of Roy Trenton as a bus driver." Then the question arises, what happened?

Events

To answer questions related to what events will be told, we begin to enter the second part, namely events. In this section, we tell something that happened in the past according to a series of events. To indicate a series of events, we can use on the first day, when, on the next day, on our last day, in Sunday morning, and so on.

Re-orientation

Well buddy, this part can be said as the conclusion or ending from the experience told. We can also add an impression of the story being written, for example, whether it was a pleasant experience or not.

For example: Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

From this sentence we can understand that the police were finally able to arrest the man.
