 Example of Recount Text

Being Late
Last morning, Rio, my roommate woke up late and he had to go to campus.
When he wanted to take his motorcycle, in fact he couldn’t move it because there were
some other motorcycles that blocked up his motorcycle.
He tried to move all of the motorcycles, so that his motorcycle could move from the
garage. But he couldn’t do it.
Then, he called Bagas who had that motorcycle which blocked it up. After that, his friend
who had that motorcycle helped him. Finally, he could move his motorcycle and rode it
to go to campus.
