Pertanyaan tersebut meminta kita membuat contoh pendek dari recount text. Sebelum membuat recount text pertama-pertama kita harus mengetahui generic structure atau bentuk dari recount text.
recount text terbagi menjadi:
- orientation : menjelaskan mengenai latar belakang informasi teks yaitu siapa, di mana, kapan kejadian atau peristiwa terjadi.
- Event: bagian inti cerita yang menceritakan peristiwa yang terjadi sesuai urutan kronologis.
- re-orentation : penutup atau kesimpulan cerita. sebagai penutup penulis bisa memberikan opini terkait cerita tersebut.
Jadi, jawaban untuk soal tersebut adalah
Orientation : "One year ago, I got to see my friends for the first time. My friends and I got to know each other from a social media. We are all living in different countries so we were so happy to finally meet each other. We planned to meet up in Seoul to watch a BTS concert. This trip had been planned for a long time.
Event 1 : First, We met for the first time in Incheon Airport a day before the concert and went straight to our accommodation by taxi. In the taxi, we chatted about so many things and got along so easily. We arrived in our accommodation by 5 PM. We strolled the city that night and bought some souvenirs for our family and friends.
Event 2 : Finally, the day of the concert had come. I was so nervous because it was my first concert experience. We went to Seoul Olympic Stadium, the venue, at 2 PM. We waited for 3 hours to be able to enter in. By 6 PM, the concert had begun. We sang and danced along during the concert. Everything felt so magical. I felt so emotional toward the end of the concert.
Re-orientation : We were sad when we had to say goodbye. But we promised each other that we had to meet again some another time. It was really a fun experience. Surely, I would cherish this precious memory for my whole life."
