Jenis Recount Text: Pengalaman Pribadi

Dan Biografi
Oleh DBI Post a Comment
Hidup adalah serangkaian berbagai pengalaman yang kita alami.
Tidak mungkin seseorang tidak pernah mengalami pengalaman apapun dalam
hidupnya. Kita belajar dan tumbuh setelah melalui berbagai macam pengalaman.
Apapun pengalaman yang terjadi, baik ataupun buruk, keduanya memberikan input
pada diri kita dan membentuk kepribadian kita.
Bahkan ada pepatah yang mengatakan Pengalaman adalah guru terbaik.

Pengalaman merupakan salah satu hal yang berharga dalam hidup kita, karena
tidak semua orang akan mengalami hal tertentu seperti halnya pengalaman pergi ke
tempat yang menakjubkan di luar negeri, tidak semua orang memiliki kesempatan
untuk merasakan hal itu.
Atau pengalaman yang tidak menyenangkan seperti digigit ular beracun, tidak ada
yang mau mengalami hal seperti itu, tapi tetap saja hal tersebut adalah sesuatu yang
berharga karena kita dapat mengambil pelajaran dari pengalaman orang lain yang
seperti itu tanpa harus ikut merasakannya.

Setelah sedikit prakata di atas tentang pengalaman, mungkin kalian semua sudah
menyadari kemana arah pembicaraan ini.
Yup, kita akan membahas cara berbagi pengalaman melalui sebuah tulisan.
Saat kita ingin berbagi pengalaman dengan orang lain melalui sebuah tulisan, kita
dapat menggunakan jenis teks Recount.
Untuk lebih jelas tentang recount text, berikut penjelasan lengkapnya.

 Inside Out Sleeping Bag

[orientation]
I and two of my friends Habib and Daryl planned to go camping at semester holiday.
That was Daryl's idea, because I never went camping before, but I was excited
because I never did it before so I decided to join them.
We went to camp site on Saturday, we planned to camp for three days.

[events]
After we arrived at the camp site, we built our tent and so far everything ran well.
We had a good time together. In the night we set a bonfire. We played guitar around
the bonfire and sang a song together. That was really fun.
After the night got late, we decided to go sleep. Habib and Daryl went sleep first. I
was still preparing my sleeping bag, and that was my first time using sleeping bag.
After I opened the zipper and I slept in the sleeping bag and I slept.

In the night I woke up because it was really hot, so I decided to take my shirt off then
back to sleep. After few minutes it still felt hot so I took my singlet off then I tried to
sleep.
I couldn't sleep after that. In fact, I still felt hot. I didn't understand why. I looked
around to see Habib and Daryl. They were sleeping under the blanket. It didn't make
any sense for me, why they used the blanket while I felt so hot and couldn't even
sleep because of that.

I was too tired to figure it out. All I wanted was sleeping at that time. I took my pants
off so I could feel little bit cool. I only wore shorts and tried back to sleep.
Although it still felt hot but it was better than before so finally I could sleep for few
hours.

[re-orientation]
The following morning we woke up. Daryl and Habib went swimming at the river. I
still felt so sleepy because I was sleepless but I decided to woke up and join Habib
and Daryl in the river.
After finished swimming we back to our tent. I asked Daryl and Habib did they feel
hot last night?
They said no, in fact last night was cold. I didn't understand so I told them that I felt
so hot all night long.

Then they asked what I used to sleep? I said I used sleeping bag.
Daryl checked my sleeping bag and said there was no wrong about my sleeping bag,
the only wrong was me.
He said I used my sleeping bag wrong way. I used the outside part of my sleeping
bag that has thick part as an inside part, and the inside part that had soft part was at
the outside. That's why I felt hot all night long.
Daryl and Habib laughed at me, they said I needed to learn a lot from them.
