Contoh Recount Text

1. Watching Movie

My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an American movie called The Lost Flight. It
showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after themselves in the jungle. It
was an interesting film about a plane which crashed on a small empty island in the Pacific
Ocean.
Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the plane had crashed. So the passengers
had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle and how to catch fish from the sea to eat. After a
few weeks, the passengers were eating raw fish and meat.
After they had been on the island for two months, three of the men made a boat and sailed away
to find help. But their boat sank and they were drowned.
The film ended without saying whether the passengers were rescued or not. But my sister and I
enjoyed the film.

2. Travelling Around The World

Deri saved his money and spent two months traveling around the world. He wrote his journey in
his diary.
I spent a week in New York and then flew to London and enjoyed several weeks in Europe.
When I had seen the sights in Europe, I took a train to Istanbul and visited many places in Asia.
First, I flew from his home in Mexico City to New York City. After through Asia, I went to south
America and finally back home to Indonesia.
Deri felt tired but he was very excited and wanted to travel again.

3. Going to School

My mother got me ready for school then I had to wait for her to brush my hair and place every
strand
in just the perfect position.
I had to show her my shoes that I had cleaned the night before and my school bag had to be
neatly put on my shoulder before I could
get near the door. Only after my mother was totally satisfied, would I be allowed to rush out of
the frontdoor.
I would leave home at 8 am on the dot and make my way down the lane. After a walk of about
700 metres I would be able to see the tall steeple of the
school.
The playground would be full in the summer and the noise would make me want to rush into the
yard and get into a good game of football before the bell
went.

4. My Great Day of Proposing Girl

I woke up at about five oclock yesterday. It wasnt a regular day, because I was about to propose
a girl.
After praying and taking a bath, I had my early breakfast. At about nine oclock I was in my
office but my soul wasnt there. I was thinking about the lines that I had to say to her.
At one oclock, I had my lunch but I wasnt enjoying it either. So, I practiced the lines to almost
all girls I met at my lunch. Yes, I was a little bit crazy. Finally, it was three oclock. I
remembered all my lines. I wrapped my works and got ready to pick her up and of course
proposed her.
I met her at four oclock, took a little walk and went to a movie. At seven, we had a romantic
dinner. I thought it was the perfect time to ask her to be my wife. Then I said the lines that I
practiced the whole afternoon.
She smiled. I reached my pocket to get a ring and put it around her finger. Then she said Yes.
After driven her home I went back to my house.

My Grandpas Funeral in Toraja

Last month my family and I went to Toraja to attend Grandpas funeral. It was my first time to go to such a
ceremony. We gathered there with our kind in the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It took about a week. Several days before the ceremony was done,
grandpas body was kept in a series of houses arranged in circular row around an open field called tongkonan. His
corpse was dressed in a fine wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First, we slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes, and then moved
the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed in a sandal
wood coffin. Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on an open platform beneath the granary.
Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared the wooden puppet and a funeral tower called lakian. The next
phase of the ceremony was held in this place. The coffin is borne from the house and placed in the lakian. During
the day, there were also buffalo matches. They were great matches. In the night, we were feasting, chanting, and
dancing.
On the last day, the grandpas coffin were lowered from the funeral tower and brought up to the
mountainside family graveyard. Great shouting and excitement followed it from the relatives and the guests.
 Finally, we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other puppets representing the members of a
whole family were already there.
The funeral ceremonies made my family and me tired. However, we were grateful because it ran smoothly.

Ling some clothes and money and sent him away.
Several years later, Sau Ling was having a meal in an inn several miles from Taipei. He put his bag on the
floor near his table. After finishing his meal, he picked up his bag. "That's strange!" he thought, "It feels
so heavy."He looked inside. It was full of small gold bars. Then he realized that someone had taken his
bag by mistake and left another bag, in its place.

The Fox and the Crow
 A crow, perched in a tree with a piece of cheese in his beak, attracted the eye and nose of a fox. "If
you can sing as prettily as you sit," said the fox, "then you are the prettiest singer within my scent and sight."
The fox had read somewhere, and somewhere, and somewhere else, that praising the voice of a crow with a
cheese in his beak would make him drop the cheese and sing. But this is not what happened to this particular
crow in this particular case.
"They say you are sly and they say you are crazy," said the crow, having
carefully removed the cheese from his beak with the claws of one foot, "but you must be nearsighted as well.
Warblers wear gay hats and colored jackets and bright vest, and they are a dollar a hundred. I wear black and I
am unique."
I am sure you are," said the fox, who was
neither crazy nor nearsighted, but sly. "I recognize you, now that I look more closely, as the most famed and
talented of all birds, and I fain would hear you tell about yourself, but I am hungry and must go." "Tarry
awhile," said the crow quickly, "and share my lunch with me." Whereupon he tossed the cunning fox the lion's
share of the cheese, and began to tell about himself. "A ship that sails without a crow's nest sails to doom," he
said. "Bars may come and bars may go, but crow bars last forever. I am the pioneer of flight, I am the map
maker. Last, but never least, my flight is known to scientists and engineers, geometricians, and scholar, as the
shortest distance between two points. Any two points," he concluded arrogantly. "Oh, every two points, I am
sure," said the fox. "And thank you for the lion's share of what I know you could not spare." And with this he
trotted away into the woods, his appetite appeased, leaving the hungry crow perched forlornly in the tree.

E Recount Text dalam Kurikulum 2013

Dalam kurikulum 2013, khususnya untuk SMA, materi Recount text diberikan pada jenjang
X dan XI. Untuk kelas X materi Recount diberikan pada semester genap dengan alokasi 7
kali 2 jam pelajaran. Ini untuk materi bahasa Inggris kelas X Wajib. Sedangkan untuk kelas
peminatan, recount text diberikan pada semester ganjil sebanyak 2 kali 3 jam pelajaran. Pada
jenjang kelas XI, materi recount text diberikan pada semester ganjil berupa teks biografi
pendek tentang tokoh terkenal sebanyak 4 kali 2 jam pelajaran.

Secara tema dan content yang dituntut oleh kurikulum, masih bersifat sekuler. Tidak berbasis
agama tertentu bahkan hal-hal yang seharusnya berkaitan erat dengan agama pun disterilkan
dari agama. Ini terlihat dari content buku yang diterbitkan oleh pemerintah. Recount text
yang digunakan dipilih yang dekat dengan kehidupan remaja. Namun pemerintah seolah tidak
menyadari, bacaan tersebut secara langsung mendidik siswa untuk mengikuti gaya hidup
hedonis dan memuja artis. Padahal gaya hidup seperti inilah yang selama ini membuat pelajar
jauh dari agama dan gampang terjerumus dalam hal-hal negative.

Kita patut heran. Ini sangat kontraproduktif dengan tujuan kurikulum 2013 yang ingin
meningkatkan kemampuan spiritual dan sosial. Ternyata semua itu hanya pemanis bibir
belaka.

F Example of Recount Text (Contoh-contoh Recount Text)

Banyak contoh dari Recount text yang bertebaran di buku atau dunia maya. Berikut beberapa
contohnya:

Contoh 1

HELPING AN OLD WOMAN

I am Sora. Yesterday, Tessie, my friend and I were on our way to school. As we were crossing
the road, we saw an old woman carrying a big basket of fruit. The old woman looked like she
was in pain. She suddenly dropped her basket and almost fainted.

At once, we ran towards her. I asked her if she was all right. The old woman did not reply:
she just shook her head. Tessie decided to call an ambulance, and quickly ran to the public
telephone near the coffee shop.

The ambulance arrived a few minutes later, and took the old woman to the nearest hospital.
We could not accompany her there because we had to go to school.

After school, we visited her at the hospital. The old woman was very happy to see us and
thanked us for helping her. Jessie and I were also very happy because we had helped the old
woman.

Contoh 2

My Horrible Experience

Let me remind you my experience during an earthquake last week. When the earthquake
happened, I was on my car. I was driving home from my vocation to Bali.

Suddenly my car lunched to one side, to the left. I thought I got flat tire. I did not know that it
was an earthquake. I knew it was an earthquake when I saw some telephone and electricity
poles falling down to the ground, like matchsticks.
Then I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by the rock. Even I could
not move my car at all. There were rocks everywhere. There was nothing I could do but left
the car and walked along way to my house, in the town.

When I reached my town, I was so surprised that there was almost nothing left. The
earthquake made a lot of damage to my town. Although nothing was left, I thanked God that
nobody was seriously injured.

My Rush Time as a Journalist

I usually woke up at eight oclock a.m. and went to the Press Center to check the daily
schedule of briefings and press conferences. It was usually held by the United Nation officials
or disaster mitigation team.

It was challenging to visit different refugee camps to find soft stories, human interest stories.
After that I went back to the Press Center to cover the press conferences of the day.

It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and secondhand clothing.
Unfortunately as they said, the food and clothing were limited and inadequate. Emerging to
glaring, fool noon, it was time to go back to Press Center to write stories and race against
time. I was always fearing that the internet would come crushing down.

After everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I only ate once a day
because I always had to rush and again it was difficult to find food. I had to travel quite far. I
needed to spend a 30 to 45 minutes by car just to find fresh food.

BIOGRAPHY OF SULTAN ABDUL HAMID II

Abdul Hamid II was born on September 21, 1842. He is the 27th Calif of Chaliphate of
Turks, a global state of Moslem world. He spoke Turkish, Arabic, and Persian Language. He
was appointed Calif on August 1876 at the age of 34. He appointed as Calif after the death of
his uncle, Abdul Aziz. He inherited the power when the country was in chaos because of
many problems. He ruled the states which territory stretching from Morocco to India.

During his reign, the Jews were very ambitious to occupy Palestine, because they thought it
belongs to them. But their ambition was never achieved because Abdul Hamid II stood up
against their plans. On 1896, Theodore Hertzl, the founder of recent Israel, ventured to the
Sultan Abdul Hamid as he requested permission to put up a building in al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Sultan refused the request by reason that Palestine belongs to all Muslims, not him.

The Jews were very angry. They thought that Ottoman Chaliphate and Abdul Hamid, its
Calif, were the hindrance of their plan. The Jews then held a conference in Basel Switzerland,
on 29-31 August 1897 in order to formulate new strategies undermine Ottoman Caliphate. In
1902, Hertzl for the umpteenth time to the Sultan Abdul Hamid in order to bribed him. But
for the umpteenth time he resolutely refused, even he did not want to see Herztl. Since then
the Jews with Zionism launched a movement to overthrow the Sultan. By using the slogan
liberation, freedom, and so on, they called the administration Abdul Hamid II as
Hamidian absolutism.

Jewish efforts finally succeeded in through their agent Mustafa kemal. They eventually seize
Palestinian territory.

BIOGRAFI CUT NYAK DHIEN

CUT NYAK DHIEN

Cut Nyak Dhien was a leader of the Acehnese guerrilla forces during the Aceh War. She was
born in Lampadang in 1848. Following the death of her husband Teuku Umar, she led
guerrilla actions against the Dutch for 25 years. She was awarded the title of Indonesian
National Hero on 2 May 1964 by the Indonesian government.

Cut Nyak Dhien was born into an Islamic aristocratic family in Aceh Besar. Her father, Teuku
Nanta Setia, was a member of the ruling Ul Balang aristocratic class in VI mukim, and her
mother was also from an aristocratic family. She was educated in religion and household
matters. She was renowned for her beauty, and many men proposed to marry her. Finally, she
married Teuku Cik Ibrahim Lamnga, the son of an aristocratic family, when she was twelve.

On 26 March 1873, the Dutch declared war on Aceh. In November 1873, during the Se-cond
Aceh Expedition, the Dutch successfully captured VI mukim in 1873, followed by the
Sultans Palace in 1874.
In 1875, Cut Nyak Dhien and her baby, along with other mothers, were evacuated to a safer
location while her husband Ibrahim Lamnga fought to reclaim VI mukim. Lamnga died in
action on June 29, 1878. Hearing this, Cut Nyak Dhien was enraged and swore to destroy the
Dutch.

Some time later, Teuku Umar proposed to marry her. Learning that Teuku Umar would allow
her to fight, she accepted his proposal. They were married in 1880. This greatly boosted the
morale of Aceh armies in their fight against Dutch. Teuku Umar and Cut Nyak Dhien had a
daughter, Cut Gambang.

The war continued, and the Acehnese declared Holy War against the Dutch, and were
engaged in guerrilla warfare. Undersupplied, Teuku Umar surrendered to the Dutch forces on
September 30, 1893 along with 250 of his men. The Dutch army welcomed him and
appointed him as a commander, giving him the title of Teuku Umar Johan Pahlawan.
However, Teuku Umar secretly planned to betray the Dutch. Two years later Teuku Umar set
out to assault Aceh, but he instead deserted with his troops taking with them heavy
equipment, weapons, and ammunition, using these supplies to help the Acehnese. This is
recorded in Dutch history as Het verraad van Teukoe Oemar (the treason of Teuku Umar).

The Dutch general Johannes Benedictus van Heutsz sent a spy to Aceh. Teuku Umar was
killed during a battle when the Dutch launched a surprise attack on him in Meulaboh. When
Cut Gambang cried over his death, Cut Nyak Dhien slapped her and then she hugged her and
said: As Acehnese women, we may not shed tears for those who have been martyred.

After her husband died, Cut Nyak Dhien continued to resist the Dutch with her small army
until its destruction in 1901, as the Dutch adapted their tactics to the situation in Aceh.
Furthermore, Cut Nyak Dhien suffered from nearsightedness and arthritis as she got older.
The number of her troops was also decreasing and they suffered from lack of supplies.

One of her troops, Pang Laot, told the Dutch the location of her headquarters in Beutong Le
Sageu. The Dutch attacked, catching Dhien and her troops by surprise. Despite desperately
fighting back, Dhien was captured. Her daughter, Cut Gambang, escaped and continued the
resistance. Dhien was brought to Banda Aceh and her myopia and arthritis slowly healed, but
in the end she was exiled to Sumedang, West Java because the Dutch were afraid she would
mobilize the resistance of Aceh people. She died on 6 November 1908.
