Rangkuman

• Recount Text
  • A recount text tells a story or an event that has already happened, to inform or entertain by describing past experiences in sequential order.
  • Orientation (introduction): introduces the event — who was involved, where and when it took place, and the general background.
  • Events (body): the main part, describing events or actions in the order they happened.
  • Reorientation (conclusion): wraps up the story, often with the writer's final thoughts.
  • Tenses used: simple past tense for completed actions; past continuous tense for actions in progress at a specific time.
• Sequence Connectors
  • Sequence connectors (sequencing or time connectors) show the order of events in a story or text.
  • They help readers understand what happened first, next, and finally, making the story flow smoothly.
