 Example

Holiday in Pasir Kencana Beach

Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes to
Pasir Kencana Beach, which is only five kilometres from where I live. When we arrived at the
beach, we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there.

After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there were
not many people there. It was also quite windy. After we bought some hot chips at the takeaway
store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand.
We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we were many miles down the beach.

Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and
then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned
on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong wind.

When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned some good
lessons that day.

 Personal Recount

Personal recount : retelling of an activitythat the writer/speaker has been

personally involve in, such as:biography, autobiography

Example of Personal Recount:

When I was five years old, I took an extreme liking to my sister's toys. It made
little difference that I had a trunk overflowing with dolls and toys of my own.
Her "big girl" treasures were much easier to break, and much more appealing.
Likewise, when I was ten and she was twelve, the earrings and make-up that she
was slowly permitted to experiment with held my attention,while my former
obsession with catching bugs seemed to be a distant and fading memory.

 Historical Recount
The purpose of the Historical Recount is to give information about historical event.
Example of the Historical Recount :
Bomb in Bali
The bomb, in the resort of Kuta, destroyed the Sari Club and a crowded nightspot. Many people
have fallen victims to this blast. Many of them were foreign tourists, especially from Australia.
They were burner beyond recognition. Some tourist who were at the scene of the blast said
there were two explosions around the nightclub. One bomb had exploded outside Paddys Bar
before a Bar bomb hit the Sari Club which was located some meters away.
Hundred were injured in the explosion and about 220 Australians remain unaccounted for. The
U.K. Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, said that 33 Britons were among those killed in the Bali
attack. The Australian Primer Minister, John Howard, called its borders, saying it had been a
problem for a long time.
Lists of missing people have been posted in Bali and official said that it could take days to
identity all the victims, some of whom were trapped in the Sari Club by a wall of flames. A notice
board at the hospital in Bali includes a section called Unknown Identity and detailed list on
victims such as : Young girl in intensive care, 11-14 years old, face burned, income, Causation, or
Girl in intensive care, about 5 years old, 130 cm, fair skin, Caucasian with reddish brown hair.
She has a purplish belly button ring.
Many embassies, including the British and the American, are advising their people to cancel
spending their planned holidays in Indonesia, and all U.S. citizens in the country have been told to
leave including diplomats and non-essential government staff.
