 Recount text

 

 

1.         Definition

 

What is recount text? As we have spilled a little above, recount text is a text that retells events or events in the past. The story can be in the form of action or activity before someone writes the text.

 

In English, recount text is a text which recounts events or experiences in the past. Without realizing it, we must often tell past experiences in everyday life.

 

For example, telling about holiday activities such as in the article 10 Short English Holiday Stories and their Meanings, participating in competitions, and much more.

 

2.         Purpose

 

Purpose of Recount Text (The Purpose of Recount Text)

Each text has its own purpose. If recount text the goal is to provide information about an incident to the reader, or entertain the reader. Again, in English we can say “to inform or to entertain the readers.”

 

3.         Text structure

 

1.         Orientation

Do you realize that most of the text will start with orientation. In Indonesian, it means orientation or introduction. Of course, the content of orientation is information about the character or character, location, time of events, etc.

 We can see from the above paragraphs that the author introduces the characters, locations, and also the time of events to be told.

 

2.         Series of Events

Are you familiar with the word events? Yes, event is an event, while series means series. In this section, the writer will write down a series of events/events that they experienced (the essence of the recount text).

 

3.Reorientation

In making recount text, the end of a story is called reorientation. In this section, the author will provide a summary and conclusion of the whole story as well as tell the ending (sad/happy). If there is, the author will also add impressions and messages for readers.

 

4)     Historical Accounts

 

Historical recount is a form of recount text whose contents tell historical events. In essence, this text is a historical story in English. Eits, but different from narrative huh.

 

In narrative, it is a fantasy. Meanwhile in the recount text, the history that is told really happened in the past. An example is the proclamation of Indonesian independence.

 

5)     Literary Recount

 

 

This kind of recount writing is all about entertainment. They can be about fictional or real events and involve real or fictional characters. For an interesting writing challenge, why not try exploring a fictional event with real characters, and vice versa.?
