 Hi Guys! Kembali lagi di Blog yang memberikan kalian informasi dan ilmu ilmu yang Bermanfaat. Disini kita akan mempelajari tentang Apa sih RECOUNT TEXT itu ? Mari kita simak artikel dibawah ini dengan seksama.

1.Definition

Literally, recount means “to tell.” So recount text can be interpreted as “Text that tells”. If we refer to the information in school books (Read: Junior High School / Senior High School), recount text is a text that tells the reader about one story, action or activity. Its goal is to entertaining or informing the reader. But Inside Recount Text there is no complication just like in Narrative Text.

2.Purpose

The purpose of a recount is to list and describe past experiences by retelling events in the order in which they happened. Recounts are written to retell events with the purpose of either informing or entertaining their audience (or both)

In a simple word the purpose of recount text is to retell past experience.

4.Types Of Recount Text 

          a) Personal recount

 Personal recount is what’s most likely to be covered in school. This type of recount writing is all about the writer’s recollection of a particular event or experience. It includes things like diary writing, but it’s also what we do whenever we tell someone a story about something that happened to us.

b) Factual recount

 A factual recount includes things like newspaper reports. The purpose of a factual recount is to inform (rather than entertain) the reader about a particular event. Because of this, adverbs and adjectives are less important. You’ll often see facts and figures in this kind of recount writing.

c) Imaginative recount

 This kind of recount writing applies factual knowledge of an event to create a fictional account of that event. The purpose of an imaginative recount is to help the reader understand an event by providing a fictional recount that’s as true-to-life as possible. They’re perfect for creative writing lessons.

 d) Procedural recount

 Procedural recounts aren’t very common in English lessons - they’re more for scientists. In fact, they’re most often used to describe an experiment so that it can be replicated by others. Because of this, the language needs to be exact. Procedural recounts might not even involve the use of full sentences.

 e) 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.?

5. Language Comperation 

There are some language features in personal recount text, those are:

a) Using simple past tense 

i.g. I spent my holiday in Yogyakarta and I was very happy

 

b) Using action verbs

 i.g. spent, went, brought, took, etc

c)Using adverb or adverbial phrase to express time and place 

i.g. last month, in Malang, lately, etc.

d)Using conjunction and time connectives to connect an event to the other event 

i.g. and, or, after, before, after that, then, when, first, etc.

6.Sample

Expired Free Ticket 

Last week I went to the theater. It was the only theater at my town. I had one free ticket to watch a movie. I had no idea about the movie I would like to watch and I did not know the schedule of that theater. So that, I just wanted to come and see if there was any good movie.

 I parked my motorcycle at the parking area and I walked slowly at the hall of the theater. I took my ticket on my wallet and go to the information section to ask about how to use the ticket that day. Unfortunately, I missed it. The ticket was already expired 2 days before.

 I went home and I was very disappointed about that.

 

7.Writing

First, in the morning, I run. After that I went to school to study until 3 in the afternoon. After school, I went to junior high school for a meeting with the alumni scout team. After that I went home. When I want to sleep, I remember I have a task to do. I work on assignments until 11 p.m. After that I finally could rest in bed
