Definition of Recount Text

Recount text is a text which retells events or experiences in the past. Its purpose is either to inform
or to entertain the readers. There is not complication among the participants and that differentiates
from narrative text. A recount text has an orientation, a series of events in chronological order,
personal remarks on the events, and a reorientation that “rounds off” the sequence of events.

Social Function of Recount Text

To retell events for the purpose of informing or entertaining

Text Structure of Recount Text

 Orientation: Introducing the participants, place and time.
 Events: Describing series of event that happened in the past.
 Reorientation: It is optional. Stating personal comment of the writer to the story

Examples of Recount Text

Example 1

My First Time in Yogyakarta

My family and I went to my grandmother’s house in Yogyakarta last month. It was my first trip to this
city. We went there two days after my sister’s graduation ceremony in Semarang. We arrived at
Yogyakarta at night. We spent a week staying in my grandmother’s house which is 5 minutes away by
foot to Malioboro Street.

In the first morning, we were still too tired after a long trip from Semarang to Yogyakarta. So we
decided to stay at home to recharge our energy. I walked around the neighborhood with my sister just to
experience how it is like to be in Yogyakarta. There were too many house, I think, which made the space
between a house and the other was so small, even the road was also small that only bicycle and
motorcycle can go through.

On the second day, all of us went to Malioboro Street. We saw so many merchant with various of
product which they claim to be a traditional product of Yogyakarta. I bought some wooden figurine and
T-shirt with the word “Yogyakarta” printed on it, while my sister bought some leather handbag. My
mom and dad were busy choosing some merchandise to be brought home when we go back. On the third
day, we went to Taman Sari and Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to see some historical building in
Yogyakarta. We took a lot of picture there. We also took some picture of the building so we can check it

again at home. We found some place providing Yogya traditional food around the building and we
jumped in right away.

We spent the rest of our week in Yogyakarta by visiting some Shopping Malls such as Jogja City Mall,
Malioboro Mall, Hartono Mall and Ambarrukmo Plaza. We realized that Yogyakarta turned out to be
very warm during the day that was the reason why we decided to spend more time in air conditioned
building like this

First Double EGOT Winner in History

Orientation
Last March, the songwriter Robert Lopez made history on the Oscar night as he became the first double
EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) winner in show business. Meaning, he won each of the four
awards twice.

Events
He won two Tony awards each on 2004 and 2011. Then, two Emmy awards each on 2008 and 2010. On
2012, he won a Grammy award. He completed his first EGOT on 2014 by winning the Oscar for the
song Let It Go, which was the soundtrack of animation movie Frozen. He then continued to win another
Grammy on 2015. Finally, he completed his second EGOT set when he won the Oscar on 2018 for the
soundtrack of animation movie Coco, Remember Me.

Reorientation
Becoming an EGOT winner itself was already rare and Lopez managed to win the four of them twice.
What an impressive career achievement.

Example 3
A Page from A Girl's Diary

It was takbiran night. It was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had thought nothing would
happen, but I was wrong.

That night, I was watching television with my family when I heard someone lit fireworks in my front
yard. I peeped through my window glass but could see nothing. It was very dark outside. Then
I thoughtit had to be my cousins who lit the fireworks. Then I plopped down on my sofa again and
tried to concentrate on the television since my mind raced with disappointment that no one gave

something special on my birthday.

I shrugged, it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist. Five minutes later my
mobilebeeped. It was a text from my friend asking me to come out. Wondering what was going on,
I grabbedmy jacket and hurried to the front door. I was surprised to see her bring a bag full of firework
and fire drills. Next I was surprised to see my other friend come out from the darkness. She brought a
beautiful birthday cake on her hands. Oh my God! I shrieked. Then they gave the cake to me who was
too stunned to say anything. I realized I was blushing furiously because my whole family was
watching. Not to mention my neighbors too!

A plain day, or I thought it was before, turned out to be one of the greatest moment in my life. I didn’t
even know how to describe what I felt. Happy was the simplest word.

Exercise

Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie known as BJ. Habibie was born on June 1936.He was the third
President of the Republict of Indonesia (1998-1999). Habibie was born in Parepare, South Sulawesi
Province to Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibie and R. A. Tuti Marini Puspowardojo. His father was
an agriculturist from Gorontalo descent and his mother was a
an a Javanese noblewoman from Yogyakarta. His parents met while studying in Bogor. Habibie's
father died when he was 14 years old, Habibie”s father died.

Following his father's death, Habibie continued his studies in Jakarta and then in 1955 moved to
Germany. In 1960, Habibie received a degree in engineering in Germany, giving him the title Diplom-
Ingenieur. He remained in Germany as aresearch assistant under Hans Ebner at the Lehrstuhl und
Institut für Leichtbau, RWTH Aachen to conduct research for his doctoral degree. [2]

In 1962, Habibie returned to Indonesia for three months on sick leave. During this time, he was
reacquainted with Hasri Ainun, the daughter of R. Mohamad Besari. Habibie had known Hasri Ainun in
childhood, junior high school and in senior high school at SMA-Kristen, Bandung. The two married on
12 May 1962, returning to Germany shortly afterwards. [3] Habibie and his wife settled inAachen for a
short period before moving to Oberforstbach. In May 1963 they had a son, Ilham Akbar Habibie.

When Habibie's minimum wage salary forced him into part-time work, he found employment
with the automotive marque Talbot, where he became an advisor. Habibie worked on two projects which
received funding from Deutsche Bundesbahn.

Due to his work with Makosh, the head of train constructions offered his position to Habibie upon
retirement three years later, but Habibie refused.

Habibie did accept a position with Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm in Hamburg. There, he

developed theories on thermodynamics, construction, and aerodynamics known as the Habibie Factor,
Habibie Theorem, and Habibie Method, respectively. [citation needed] He worked for Messerschmit on the
development of the Airbus A-300B aircraft. In 1974, he was promoted to vice president of the
company.[6]

In 1974, Suharto recruited Habibie to return to Indonesia as part of Suharto's drive to

industrialize and develop the country. Habibie initially served as a special assistant to Ibnu Sutowo, the
CEO of state oil company Pertamina. Two years later, in 1976, Habibie was made Chief Executive
Officer of the new state-owned enterprise Industri Pesawat Terbang Nusantara (IPTN). In 1978, he was
appointed as Minister of Resesarch and Technology. Habibie was eelected vice presidentin March. On
21 May 1998, Suharto publicly announced his resignation and Habibie was immediately sworn in as
president. Habibie’s government stabilizes the economy in the face of Asian financial crisis and the
chaos of the last few months of Suharto presidency.

through the Habibie Centre to ensure democratisation in Indonesia.

In September 2006, he released a book called Detik-Detik Yang Menentukan: Jalan Panjang Indonesia
Menuju Demokrasi (Decisive Moments: Indonesia's Long Road Towards Democracy). The book
recalled the events of May 1998 which led to his rise to the Presidency. In the book, he controversially
