A recount text is a type of text that retells past events, experiences, or stories in chronological order.
It aims to inform or entertain readers by providing details of what happened, where it happened,
when it happened, who was involved, and why it happened. Recount texts often use past tense verbs
and temporal conjunctions to maintain the sequence of events.
Purpose/Objective:
Orientation: Introduces the background information of the event or experience. It answers the
questions: Who? What? When? Where?
Orientation:
Last summer, my friends and I decided to go on a camping trip to the nearby national park. We had
been planning this adventure for weeks, and excitement filled the air as we packed our bags and set
off early in the morning.
Series of Events:
We arrived at the park and quickly set up our tents near a serene lake. After settling in, we embarked
on a hike through the lush forest trails, marvelling at the beauty of nature around us. As the sun
began to set, we gathered around a crackling campfire, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories
late into the night. The next day, we woke up to the sound of birds chirping and decided to explore
the nearby waterfall. The cascading water and scenic views left us in awe, and we spent the day
swimming and picnicking by the water's edge. Reluctantly, we packed up our campsite the following
morning, but the memories of our unforgettable camping trip will stay with us forever.
Re-orientation:
Looking back, our camping trip was not just an adventure but also a bonding experience that
strengthened our friendship. It taught us the importance of disconnecting from the hustle and bustle
of daily life and reconnecting with nature and each other.
