These texts can be categorized as recount texts because they exhibit the following

Adjectives, verbs, and adverbs are used to paint a vivid picture of the events and
their surroundings.
• Example: "I was excited about my first day. I had my new uniform: a red skirt,
a white shirt, and a red jumper with a black line on it."
b. Chronological Order:
• Events are presented in the sequence they occurred, helping the reader follow
the timeline of the events.
• Example: "When we arrived that day, a teacher met some new children at the
school gate. Then, Pak Taufik, the vice principal, met us."
c. Time Connectives:
• Words and phrases that indicate the sequence of events are used, such as first,
before, after, next, eventually, and meanwhile.
• Example: "After the story, we drew pictures of the fruits from the story with
colored pencils and also made a caterpillar from clay."
d. Thoughts, Feelings, and Opinions:
• The texts include the writer’s thoughts, feelings, and opinions about the events,
providing a personal touch.
• Example: "I felt jealous. I wanted to paint and make a craft too!"
e. First Person:
• These texts are written in the first person, using pronouns like "I," "me," "my"
in personal recounts, and "we," "us" if involving a group.
• Example: "I remember my first day at elementary school very well."
f. Past Tense:
• Both texts describe events that have already happened, so they are written in the
past tense.
