Struktur Penyusunan Recount Text

Orientation: sebagai pembuka, bagian orientation berisi informasi dasar yang
menjawab pertanyaan who, where, when.

Events: pada bagian isi atau events ini, saatnya kita menjawab pertanyaan how atau

1. Personal Recount

My Great Day of Proposing Girl

Orientation

I woke up at about five o’clock yesterday. It wasn’t a regular day, because I was
about to propose a girl.

Event

After praying and taking a bath, I had my early breakfast. At about nine o’clock I
was in my office but my soul wasn’t there. I was thinking about the lines that I had to
say to her.

At one o’clock, I had my lunch but I wasn’t enjoying it either. So, I practiced the
lines to almost all girls I met at my lunch. Yes, I was a little bit crazy. Finally, it was
three o’clock. I remembered all my lines. I wrapped my works and got ready to pick
her up and of course proposed her.

I met her at four o’clock, took a little walk and went to a movie. At seven, we had a
romantic dinner. I thought it was the perfect time to ask her to be my wife. Then I
said the lines that I practiced the whole afternoon.

Reorientation

She smiled. I reached my pocket to get a ring and put it around her finger. Then she
said “Yes.” After driven her home I went back to my house.

2. Imaginative

Spiderman

Orientation

I was dreaming of being super hero when I was a teenager. I imagined myself as
Spiderman.

8
Event

One day, when I was fishing at the river I was bitten by a spider and luckily I was not
dying.

At first I felt cold for 24 hours and I was alone in my room. Nobody knew about it. I
didn’t tell my family because I was afraid they would angry with me.

After that, something had happened in my body and I still did not recognize it. I lived
as I did usually, went to school, go home, eating, doing some activities and so on.

I realized at the first time that I had a superpower was when I was getting an accident.

I rode a motor cycle and suddenly there was a bus crashed me. I bounced out of the
road and my motor cycle was totally broken.

But at that case, I did not feel any hurt. There was no blood out of my body.

I was angry at that time because the bus did not stop and escaped. I run after it and I
didn’t know why I could run so fast and jump so high.

I jumped to the back of the bus and climbed it like a spider. I went to the front,
stooped the bus and took the driver out of the bus door.

I knew that I was no more normal human being. I did nothing more to the bus driver.
I went back home and decided the next action to do after that.

Reorientation

I did nothing like the Spiderman at the movie that help people to catch the criminals.

I was an opportunist super hero. I was afraid of killing people so that I hide my
power from anybody else. I used my power only when I or my family and friends got
into dangerous.

Some examples of Recount Text

Go Fishing

Orientation At last year holiday I didn’t go anywhere.

I just stay at home for the whole month. It was not too bad to spend
the holiday at home because I had something to do. I did a small
project building a small fishpond at home.

Events What I need is river sand, cement, and some tools. I choose the
middle space of my yard. After that, I made the design.

Anyway, I would like to keep some koi fish at that fishpond, so

that I had to make the design as well as I can. I preferred to choose
the nature landscape as the model.

I did it alone, day and night. I was so happy to do that.

After two weeks, I finished it. It was a small beautiful fishpond

with nature landscape designed.

Before I put on it some koi fish, I fill the water and waited for
about two weeks to make sure that the fishpond was free from
poison.

Finally, I bought 5 koi fish and keep them at my new fishpond.

Re-orientation It was a nice thing to spend the holiday at home.

Visiting My Grandmother

Orientation The last holiday I went to my grandma’s home.

Her home is quite awesome, so far away from the city and close to
the vegetables farm area. My grandma and grandpa are farmers.

I spent two days there and I did so many interesting things in the
farm, helping my grandpa planted vegetables.

Events At the first day, I learned to plant spinach. What I did was moving
out the young spinach from the seeding area to the plantation area.

I thought it was easy, but in fact, it was tiring. I had to move those
one by one under the sun. I did that for several hours before launch

12
 and continued until afternoon.

In the night, i didn’t want anything except sleeping. I was really

tired but it was fun.

I couldn’t wake up in the morning until my grandma knocked at

my door. He laughed at me because what I did was not hard
actually if compared with the real farmer.

Then, before we went to the farm again, my grandma had prepared

for breakfast. After eating I follow my grandpa going to the next
field.

We would do daily treatment for the 1 month age spinach. We had

to give them enough water and checked if there were any
caterpillars and grasshoppers.

Re-orientation At the third day, I had to back home. I was sad to leave my
grandma and grandpa. But, that’s fine because the next holiday I
would go there and see them again.

the station. At that station, I bought the ticket to go to
Yogyakarta

Events It took around 5 hour to go to Yogyakarta from

Tulungagung by train.

I arrived in Tugu Station Yogyakarta at 3.15 pm. I had no

fix idea about the places at which I would visit. So, I was
free to do anything in this city.

At first, I went walking around at Malioboro Street. I saw so

many people in this street. Perhaps, they did the same thing
as I did, just walking and sometimes stopped at some street
marchandise sellers a long that road.

At 6 p.m, i was tired and hungry. I was at Alun-Alun Kidul,

13
 the south side of Yogyakarta Palace.

I looked around and find Angkringan, at that place I ordered

for a glass of ice tea and ate some Sego Kucing with Sate

money so they left me with my grandma and grandpa.

After graduated from junior high school, I follow my parents living

at Jakarta. Since that, I had visited them only at holiday time.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have any ticket of either train and plane so

that I went to Surabaya by bus. It was so tiring because the traffic
was too crowded and stagnant.

Normally, the trip needs around 24-28 hours but my trip at that
time took 40 hours from Jakarta to Surabaya. That made me mad.

The madness and tiredness during the trip had gone after I met my

ADVERBIA DAN FRASA PREPOSISIONAL PENUNJUK WAKTU

Prepositional phrase menunjukkan perpaduan hubungan antara Preposition/ kata

ganti penunjuk tempat, waktu yang diikuti langsung oleh Noun ataupun Pronoun
dalam Bahasa Inggris. Tentu saja, materi ini tidak asing lagi bagi sebagian
pembaca yang telah memahami materi Preposisi sebelumnya. Materi pembelajaran
kali ini juga banyak digunakan dalam kalimat sehari-hari sehingga sangat pantang
untuk dilewatkan. Oleh karena itu, simak terus pembahasan lengkap mulai dari
penjelasan,jenis-jenis serta contoh prepositional phrase di bawah ini.

Pengertian Prepositional Phrase

Prepositional Phrase merupakan frasa-frasa yang terdiri dari preposisi ataupun kata
ganti tempat, waktu serta lainnya sebagai awalan dan diikuti oleh noun, pronoun,
maupun Gerund Phrase. Tidak ada pengecualian terhadap jenis-jenis preposisi
yang bisa digunakan dalam materi ini. Semua jenis preposisi bisa digunakan.

Secara umum, preposisi terbagi menjadi:

1. Preposisi sebagai kata ganti penunjuk waktu, contohnya: at, in, on, since,
for, to dan lain sebagainya
2. Preposisi sebagai kata ganti penunjuk tempat, contohnya: aboard, above,
about, against, along, among, at, between, behind, under, below, in front of,
outside, next to dan masih banyak lagi
3. Preposisi sebagai kata ganti penunjuk gerakan, contohnya: around, pass/by,
down, towards, dan sebagainya.
4. Prepositional phrase ini bisa ditempatkan setelah jenis kata apa saja, baik
setelah noun maupun verb sehingga dalam grammar, prepositional phrase
dibedakan menjadi 2 jenis.

22
Jenis-jenis prepositional phrase

1. Adjective prepositional phrase

Jenis preposisi ini biasanya ditemukan setelah noun dan oleh karena itu, ia
berfungsi sebagai kata sifat yang menjelaskan noun di depannya. Tujuan adanya
adjective prepositional phrase adalah untuk memberikan penjelasan lebih rinci
tentang noun yang diterangkan bergantung pada preposisi yang digunakan.

2. Adverbial Prepositional Phrase

Adverbial Prepositional phrase dikenal sebagai sebuah frasa preposisi yang

ditempatkan setelah kata kerja dalam suatu kalimat dan oleh karena itu ia berperan
sebagai adverb (kata keterangan) yang menjelaskan tentang verb tersebut. Tujuan
adanya jenis phrase ini untuk memberikan keterangan lebih lanjut mengenai verb
yang dibahas.

Contoh Adverbial Prepositional Phrase

Linda is still waiting at the bus stop.

(Dia masih menunggu di halte bus.)

Dalam kalimat ini, “at the bus stop” merupakan keterangan tambahan yang
menjelaskan tentang tempat di mana Linda menunggu. At the bus stop disebut
sebagai sebuah prepositional phrase karena terdiri dari preposisi “at” dan noun
“bus stop”.

Contoh-contoh kalimat menggunakan adverbial prepositional phrase:

1. Susi will skip English class on next Friday.

(Susi akan melewatkan kelas bahasa Inggris Jumat depan.)
2. You need to add salt in your cooking. It tastes bland.
(Kamu perlu menambahkan garam ke dalam masakanmu. Masakanmu
terlalu tawar.)

with digestion.

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.

Manchester United paid £12 million to sign him in 2003 – a record fee for a player of

On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates Hari Pahlawan or Heroes Day in

remembrance of the Battle of Surabaya which started on that very date in the year
1945. The bloody battle took place because Indonesians refused to surrender their
weaponry to British army. British Army at that time was part of the Allied Forces.
The defiant Bung Tomo is the well-known revolutionary leader who played a very
important role in this battle.

It all started because of a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and

those in Surabaya, under the command of Brigadier [Link]. Mallaby. Brigadier
Mallaby already had an agreement with Governor of East Java Mr. Surya. The
agreement stated that British would not ask Indonesian troops and militia to
surrender their weapons.

However, a British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya. The leaflet
told Indonesians to do otherwise on 27 October 1945. This action angered the
Indonesian troops and militia leaders because they felt betrayed.

On 30 October 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed as he was approaching the British
troops’ post near Jembatan Merah or Red Bridge, Surabaya. There were many
reports about the death, but it was widely believed that the Brigadier was murdered
by Indonesian militia. Looking at this situation, Lieutenant General Sir Philip
Christison brought in reinforcements to siege the city.

In the early morning of 10 November 1945, British troops began to advance into
Surabaya with cover from both naval and air bombardment. Although the
Indonesians defended the city heroically, the city was conquered within 3 days and
the whole battle lasted for 3 weeks. In total, between 6,000 and 16,000 Indonesians
died while casualties on the British side were about 600 to 2000.

Visiting My Village

Last month, I and my family went to Banyumas which was located in Central
Java, Indonesia. We drove a car. I enjoyed the journey all day long although it

41
took 2 days to get there. We were fun, my brother made some jokes all day. My
father told us some stories on the way. My mother slept in the back seat.

My first day in my village, I visited my siblings and friends. We are welcomed

with happiness. When I saw my parents, they cried because they looked so
happy to meet up their families. The next day, I, my brother, my cousin and my
nephew went to a popular place in Purwokerto. It was called “Baturaden”. That
was a favorite spot in Purwokerto. We enjoyed local specialty food as a culinary.
I was satisfied and so were they. Next, I took a photo with traditional music
musicians.

My brother, my cousin and my nephew enjoy the view of other visitors. They
took a photo with their style as I did. In the evening, we were back home. And
did other private activities, such as made a conversation, told the story and made
a joke.

The day after tomorrow, my cousin had a ceremony to say thanks to God for
blessing their son. It was called “Nazar”. When the parents had a promise for
something and it was realized. They had to make a traditional ceremony. I
watched that traditional ceremony and took their photograph.

For the last show, we were entertained by “Ebeg”. It was traditional art. The
player danced through traditional music and they were handled by the spirit. It
was scary, but it was fun and entertaining.

Time run so fast because the next day was our last day in the village. So I took
the last photo to bring it home. They were my family and still family until the
last breath in this world.

Finally, we had to go home and brought a love experience from family. Yaps…
that was the hardest part.
