CHARACTERISTIC

OF RECOUNT TEXT
GROUP 3
EXAMPLE
My Grandpas House town
Two weeks ago, I and my family were in my grandpa’s hometown. it
is our annual agenda every holiday in the end of Semester.
Unfortunately, it was rainy season there.

it rained almost every day there. We had no enough time to visit

some tourism places there because of the rain. We had no enough
sunlight even to dry up our laundries. As a result, we just stayed at
home almost all day long. Seeing the condition, we decided to
make an interesting activity indoor to spend the holiday together.
The activity we chose that day was making funny videos directed
by me. Finishing the videos, we edited them and made them
uploaded in youtube.

By doing this, we could kill our boredom of staying at home

because of the rain and made a creative activity instead.
THE CHARACTERISTIC
1. Even though it has the same purpose as narrative
text to entertain the reader, there are differences. In
the recount text, there is no conflict told by the author.
So, purely story related.

2. There is always a sequence of stories. For example,

like the example above, that is, there is the first day,
the second day, and so on.
