RECOUNT TEXT
WHAT IS RECOUNT TEXT?
RECOUNT TEXT IS A TEXT THAT RETELLS EVENTS OR
ACTIVITIES THAT OCCURRED IN THE PAST THAT WERE
EXPERIENCED BEFORE.
Recount text adalah sebuah teks yang menceritakan
kembali peristiwa atau aktivitas yang terjadi di masa
lampau yang pernah di alami sebelumnya.
Recount Text adalah sebuah cerita pengalaman yang
benar - benar terjadi di dalam kehidupan kita. Tujuan dari
Recount text itu sendiri adalah untuk menghibur atau
memberi informasi kepada pembaca.
GENERIC STRUCTURE DARI RECOUNT TEXT
Generic structure atau struktur kebahasaan dari Recount Text ini terbagi kedalam 3
susunan, yaitu :
Orientation
Bagian Orientation merupakan bagian pendahuluan atau perkenalan dari text yang akan
dibahas. Karena di dalam Orientation ini menceritakan siapa saja yang terlibat dalam cerita,
apa yang terjadi, di mana tempat peristiwa terjadi, dan waktu terjadinya peristiwa.
Events
Bagian Event merupakan inti dari cerita. Pada bagian ini kita menceritakan semua yang terjadi
secara berurutan dari awal sampai selesai
Re-orientation
Bagian Re-orientation berisi kesimpulan dari isi cerita, atau bisa juga merupakan pendapat
pribadi dari si pencerita. Re-orientation ini bisa disebut juga akhir atau penutup dari cerita.
CIRI-CIRI RECOUNT TEXT
Memiliki judul yang merangkum teks. Contohnya 'My Vacation to Bali'
maka ceritanya hanya akan menceritakan seluruh liburan saat berada di
bali
Menceritakan peristiwa yang sudah terjadi di masa lampau. Maka Recount
text selalu menggunakan past tense, contohnya 'Last month, I went to Bali
with my family.
Semua kejadian yang di ceritakan harus secara berurutan. Jadi, harus
memakai kata sambung seperti 'when', 'later', 'then', 'after', 'before', dan
lain lain.
Dibawah ini adalah contoh dari Recount Text:
Vacation To Santolo Beach
When Idul Fitri holiday, after visiting my parents at Pameungpeuk, Garut, I and my family went to
Santolo Beach to refresh our mind after the long time of work. It's rarely to take a vacation because I'm
very busy.
The way to Santolo beach is quite good, and the view is really beautiful. On our left and right is full
of rice fields and many coconut trees along the way. But when we nearly arrived, there was a long
traffic jam so we hardly to get in into the beach. I guess this was because of the Idul Fitri holiday, so
people want to go to beach too. Then we just take a walk to the beach because it was not far.
Fortunately the weather was not too hot on that day.
After we arrived, the beach was so crowded. But we still enjoyed the time by took pictures,
swimming, playing sand, and go around the beach by boat. We stay overnight in the inn that we have
rent before.
We got up so early in the morning that we could enjoy sunrise landscape at the beach. My cousin
playing with white sand and I took a picture of him.
A day at Santolo beach felt so short, we were quite tired for playing a whole day, but we were very
happy.
Terjemahannya:
Liburan ke Pantai Santolo
Ketika libur lebaran, setelah mengunjungi orang tua saya di Pameungpeuk, Garut, saya dan
keluarga saya pergi ke Pantai Santolo untuk menyegarkan pikiran kita setelah lama bekerja. Ini
jarang untuk berlibur karena saya sangat sibuk.
Jalan ke Pantai Santolo pantai cukup bagus, dan pemandangan benar-benar indah. Pada kiri
dan kanan kami penuh sawah dan pohon kelapa banyak di sepanjang jalan. Tapi ketika kita
hampir tiba, ada kemacetan panjang sehingga kita hampir tidak bisa masuk ke pantai. Saya kira
ini adalah karena libur lebaran, sehingga orang-orang ingin pergi ke pantai juga. Akhirnya kita
berjalan ke pantai Karena itu tidak jauh. Untungnya cuaca tidak terlalu panas pada hari itu.
Setelah kami tiba, pantai itu begitu penuh sesak. Tapi kami masih menikmati waktu dengan
mengambil gambar, berenang, bermain pasir, dan pergi di sekitar pantai dengan perahu. Kami
menginap di penginapan yang kita miliki sewa sebelumnya.
Kami bangun pagi sehingga kita bisa menikmati pemandangan matahari terbit di pantai. Sepupu
saya bermain dengan pasir putih dan saya mengambil foto dirinya.
Sehari di pantai Santolo rasanya begitu singkat, kami cukup lelah untuk bermain sepanjang hari,
tapi kami sangat senang.

Soal Latihan Recount Text
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 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 on the back seat.
My first day in my village, I visited my siblings and friends. We are welcomed by 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 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 with other visitors. They took a photo with their style
like 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 the
traditional music and they were handled by the spirit. It was scary, but it was fun and entertain.
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.
