CONTOH
Little Mantu lived in a village deep in the jungle
where elephants helped the men with their work.
These elephants were so big and strong. They could
lift up the heaviest logs with their trunks and toss
them high in the air.
Now, Mantu had an elephant of his very own. His
name was Opie. He was just a baby and Mantu loved
him very much. Mantu whispered to Opies ear that
someday he would become the biggest, strongest and
bravest elephant in the jungle. The other elephants
heard this. They began to laugh and made rude noises
with their trunks. Were so big and tall, but youre
so small. Youre nothing at all, said one of the big
elephants.
Mantu looked up at the huge elephant with a
mishievous glint in his eye. Youre so tall and can
see far away. We can see what is happening down
here in the jungle. In fact, we would be the rst to see
any slithering snakes that may be a danger. After
hearing the word snakes, the elephants screeched
and off they gwents thundering in fright.
Did I say there were snakes? giggled Mantu. No,
I dont think so, smiled Opie. Mantu then climbed upon
his little friends back and went home to the village to tell
everyone about the foolish elephants.

Contoh Recount Text (1) tentang Masa SMP

My Adolescence
I had my adolescence when I was thirteen.
It started with acne that showed up on my face. It was very annoying. It
lowered my self-esteem and I was embarrassed to come out of my house
and play with friends.
Fortunately, my Mum gave me a good medicine. In three weeks, the acnes
started to vanish although those showed some black spots in my face.
That was my bad experience with adolescence, though there were still lots of
good experience too.

their survival in the new land which was not easy for them. However, in
