Contoh Recount Text

a. Personal Recount

Going to Cermin Beach

A few months ago, I went to Cermin Beach with my family. It is located in Serdang Bedagai district about 53 km from Medan City, North Sumatera.

The trip there took about 1,5 hours. We left from Medan at 07.30 using a car and we arrived about 09.00 o’clock.

As arrived there, my parents rented a hut to take a rest. I and my brother immediately run towards the beach.

It looked sunny day with the blue sky and I felt a gentle breeze. The waves there were suitable for swimming, but unfortunately, I couldn't swim.

I just played with white sand and built a sand castle. I didn’t forget to take a selfie. At noon, I began to feel hungry. I approached the rented hut.

Apparently, my mother had prepared food for us. I felt happy to be able to vacation with family and enjoyed the beauty of nature created by God.

The day had begun in the evening. We hurried to go home. Before went to home, I bought some souvenirs there. Finally , we arrived at 06.00 pm because the trip was jammed.

On Children's Day in 1999, a technology company treated more than 200 underprivileged children to a 'high-tech' experience. They were given training on information technology. The company wanted to provide opportunities for these children to learn more about the Internet and the latest technology. They wanted to help the less fortunate in the community.

I dreamed of being a superhero when I was a teenager. I imagined myself as Spiderman. 

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 afraid they would be 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, went home, ate, did some activities and so on.
