 Example of Recount Text
My Vacation with My Beloved People
One day, my sister named Putri said to me that she really wanted to go to the beach. So I promised her
that the next week we would go to Mutun beach in Lampung.
The next week, we prepared everything needed in the morning. We brought some foods and beverages,
such as chocolate wafers, potato chips, water and orange juice. Before going to the beach, I ask our
brother, Bayu, to join us. He agreed to join and we went there together with our parents. We went there
by car. It took 3 hours to arrive there. Then, we bought tickets in the entrance gate. Before swimming,
we changed our clothes first. We swam there for more than one hour. We felt so tired that we decided
to eat the foods that we had brought. Next, three of us created a very big sand castle, while my parents
were enjoying the beautiful scenery there. After that, we decided to go home because it was getting
dark.
On the way home, we still felt hungry. So we stopped at a restaurant to have dinner. I ordered sruit,
Lampungnese traditional food, while my brother, my sister, and my parents ordered fried rice. After
finished eating, we paid our bills. Then, we went home. We arrived at home at 9 o’clock. We were tired
but we were absolutely happy.
