Jika dalam narrative text, ada sebuah komplikasi atau masalah yang
muncul dalam sebuah cerita; maka berbeda dengan recount text. Apa sih
bedanya? Oke kita lanjutkan, dalam recount text, yang ada hanya sebuah
peristiwa saja (event); serta urutan-urutan ceritanya tertata rapi. (Note:
Mohon maaf saya bukan guru bahasa Inggris, saya sebenarnya lebih
setuju jika recount text ini dikatakan sebagai nenek moyang narrative
text. Meski dalam linguistics saya belum menemukan 'kata yang pas'
untuk jenis teks ini).
That was my bad experience with adolescence, though there were still
lots of good experience too.
Analisa :
When I was 2nd grade of senior high school, my friends and I went to Bali.
We were there for three days. I had many impressive experiences during
the vacation.
First day, we visited Sanur Beach in the morning. We saw the beautiful
sunrise together. It was a great scenery. Then, we checked in to the
hotel. After prepared our selves, we went to Tanah Lot. We met so many
other tourists there. They were not only domestic but also foreign
tourists.
The last day, we spent our time in Sangeh. We could enjoy the green and
shady forest. There were so many monkies. They were so tame but
sometimes they could be naughty. We could make a close interaction with
them. After that, we went to Sukowati market for shopping. That was my
lovely time. I bought some Bali T-Shirt and souvenirs.
In the evening, we had to check out from the hotel. We went back home
bringing so many amazing memories of Bali.
First, we visited Parangtritis beach. The sun shone brightly and the
scenery was very beautiful there. We felt the wind blew across to us. We
also saw a lot of people in that beach. There werw many birds flew in the
sky. Also, there were many sellers who sold many kinds of souvenirs.
Second, we visited Gembira Loka Zoo. We saw many kinds of animals
there such as monkeys, tigers, crocodiles, snakes, etc. We looked around
in that Zoo, and also took pictures of those animals. Then, we felt hungry,
so we went to a restaurant. As soon as we finished our lunc, we decided
to go home.
For me, that was a beautiful day. we really enjoyed it, and I hope I could
visit Jogja again.
One day, when I was ten years old, my father bought an old motorcycle.
That was " Honda 75". I think it was small light object and easy to ride it.
I persuaded my father to teach me to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly, my father
refused my request and promised that he would teach me two or three
years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my father surrendered and
promised to teach me.
One day later, when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding
ability. So, myself tried bravely. All ran fluently in the beginning, but
when I was going back to my home and I must passed through a narrow
slippery street, I got nervous. I lost my control and I fell to the ditch.
After that, I told my father about the last accident. I imagined my father
would be angry and never let me ride again. But the reality is exactly on
the contrary, my father was very proud of me. He just gave me some
advices and since that accident, I got my father's permission to ride
motorcycle.
Mudah bukan? Intinya dalam recount text ini isi cerita biasanya
berurutan, seperti contoh-contoh di atas, itu saja.
