RECOUNT

Orientation:

This morning I saw an accident. It was between two motorbikes.

Event :

I always go to school by bike. This morning I peddled my bike slowly while enkoying the morning breeze. Suddenly, Brak! I looked behind. There were two motorbikes lying in the middle of the street. Beside them, there were two peoples who might be the motor riders, lying helplessly. Directly many people came to the victims and help them. Luckily, the victims could wal. Then, people took them to the nearest hospital.

Re-Orientation:

The accident really made me shocked.
The text above is a recount text in written form. A recount text tells us about past events. It could be someone’s experiences, someone’s life the past, the history of something, etc. That’s why, the main feature of a recount text is the use of simple past tense. A recount text has certain elements. Those are orientation, series of events, and sometimes reorientation.
• Orientation tells about what happened, where the story happened, who was involved in the story, when it occurred, or why it happened.
• Series of events tell the story. There are usually described in time order.
• Re-Orientation is the closure of events (usually optional).
