 Example of recount texts
Trip to the Beach
Last month, my father brought the whole family to the nearest
beach from our home. The trip took approximately 2 hours to the
beach. We went there by car. As we arrived on the beach, my little
brother jumped from the car and ran to the seashore right away.
Then, I followed behind him. We took off our shoes, and then
played chase on the seashore.
My father pulled out his camera and took some pictures of my
brother and me. In the meantime, my mother served several dishes
and snacks that she had prepared on the mat.
After feeling tired of playing on the beach, my brother and I came
over to our parents. Then, we ate the dish together and had a warm
conversation until the sun went down.
That day was one of the most fascinating beach moments that we
have ever had.
