Text 1 : IMAGINATIVE RECOUNT SPIDERMAN

Generic structure (struktur) dari teks diatas adlh :

"Spiderman"

Orientation : I was dreaming of being super hero when I was a teenager. I imagined
myself as Spiderman.

Events : One day, when I was fishing at the river I was bitten by a spider and luckily
I was not dying.

At first I felt cold for 24 hours and I was alone in my room. Nobody knew about it. I didn’t tell
my family because I was affraid they would angry with me.

After that, something had happened in my body and I still did not recognize it. I lived as I did
usually, went to school, go home, eating, doing some activities and so on.

I realized at the first time that I had a super power was when I was getting an accident.

I rode a motor cycle and suddenly there was a bus crashed me. I bounced out of the road and my
motor cycle was totally broken.

But at that case, I did not feel any hurt. There was no blood out of my body.

I was angry at that time because the bus did not stop and escaped. I run after it and I didn’t know
why I could run so fast and jump so high.

I jumped to the back of the bus and climbed it like a spider. I went to the front, stooped the bus
and took the driver out of the bus door.

I knew that I was no more normal human being. I did nothing more to the bus driver. I went back
home and decided the next action to do after that.
Reorientation : I did nothing like the Spiderman at the movie that help people to catch the
criminals.

I was an opportunist super hero. I was afraid of killing people so that I hide my power from
anybody else. I used my power only when I or my family and friends got into dangerous.

Text 2 : Historical Recount - Borobudur

Generic structure (struktur) dari teks diatas adlh :

"Borobudur"

Orientation : Last week I was visiting Borobudur temple. It was a great temple and one
of the biggest Buddhist temples in the world.

I had been there for several times and I still love to go there again and again. I know a little bit
about the history of the restoration of the Borobudur Temple.

Events : Borobudur temple was built in 9th-century in (now) Magelang city,


Central Java, Indonesia.

That temple was built during the reign of Sailendra Dynasty as the symbolic monument retelling
the life of Buddha in which people can learn about Buddhist religion.

The temple was design in Javanese Buddhist architecture as the acculturation of Indian and
Javanese culture.

Some evidences and theories suggest that Borobudur temple was disappeared during the reign of
Hindu kingdoms and Islam in java in 14th-century and the years after it.

It was disappeared because of the eruption of Merapi Mountain that buried most of the
surrounding area including Borobudur.

But because of that eruption then the temple was survived and untouchable until in 1814 during
the British colonialization, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles (the British ruler of Java at that time)
got information that there was a hill with carved texture.

After that Thomas Stamford Raffles made a project to dig and clear that area and after 2

mounts working the Borobudur temple was appeared.


But of course at that time the face of Borobudur was extremely different from it appearance
today.

Since it was found the British government restored that temple and continued by the Dutch
government. The largest restoration was undertaken by Indonesian government and UNESCO
between 1975 until 1982.

Reorientation : Since that now we can enjoy and learn about the beauty of the
Borobudur Temple.

Text 3 : Factual Recount - Titanic.

Generic structure (struktur) dari teks diatas adlh :

"Titanic"

Orientation : On April 15, 1912, Titanic, one of the British largest and luxurious
liners, sank into the North Atlantic Ocean which about 400 miles south of Newfoundland,
Canada.

Events : That giant ship which carried 2,200 passengers and crews had struck an
iceberg. Two and a half hour later the ship sank into the deep North Atlantic Ocean at 2:20 a.m.

From that tragedy, more than 1,500 people went down in the sinking ship. Some of them froze to
death in the icy North Atlantic water and around 700 people (high class woman and children)
survived.

Unfortunately that giant luxurious ship was not equipped with much more lifeboats and good
emergency procedures so that the victims of that tragedy were more than the half passengers and
crews.

Reorientation : That tragedy became popular again some years later after James
Cameron directed a movie entitled Titanic in 1997.
The movie that was inspired by the tragedy of the sinking titanic was a fiction story about the
members of different social class who meet in that ship and fallen in love. It was the best movie
at that year and still remembered by a lot of people around the world until now.

Text 4 : Personal Recount – Band Sekolah

Generic structure (struktur) dari teks diatas adlh :

"Band Sekolah"

Orientation : I have a personal experience that I got when I was in Senior high school.

At that time I was a guitarist and I have a band. All of the members were the friends at school.

We all were just amateur player and we made a band just for fun. We never wrote our own song
so that we just rearranged some songs that we like to play.

Event : All of the members of the band were man. We ran that band for about 6
mounts. During that time we had performed so many times at the cafe, festivals, or at school
when there was farewell party.

One day, our vocalist was sick when we would have a performance. We only had a week to
make a decision whether to continue the performance with another vocalist or cancelled it.

Fortunately, we found another vocalist who wanted to join us, a beautiful girl with beautiful
voice.

Her coming made our band great. With her voice and her appearance, we were looked like
professional band. We were happy but at the same time sad.

What about the previous vocalist? However, he had a great contribution in creating this band.

And what would we decide for the future of the band? Our previous vocalist had recovered from
his illness, and the new vocalist was still at our band.

At first we made a new formation using two vocalists and the result was not good.
The quality of the vocal of both was so unequal. The girl had too beautiful voice. Those
combinations made us like stupid band but what can we do, we could not fire one of those
because of the spirit of the band, friendship forever.

What we afraid had happened, our vocalists got into conflict and they had their own reason to be
right. We could not do anything.

Finally, both of them leaved the band. I was so sad about it but what could I do? After that
uncomfortable incident, we decided to break up the band.

Reorientation : Since that, we could still meet each other as a friend but we never talk
about band anymore.
