Recount, according
to Djuharie
(2007: 44) is one kind of texts (genre) which the content tries to report incidents,
events, or activities occurred to someone, or someone’s experiences. The
purpose of this text is to inform and entertain the audience (listener or
reader).
Recount text is
nearly the same with Anecdote if we see from the purpose to expose certain activities
or happenings passed. The main difference is that anecdote has funny and
entertained part. Because of this difference, recount and anecdote also use
different generic structure and its lexico-grammatical features.
Based on the book of
English on Sky (EOS) 2, an English book for Junior High School students Year
VIII, this text type is classified into three kinds of recount. They are:
1.
Personal Recount
A
personal recount usually retells an experience in which the writer/speaker was
personally involved.
2. Procedural Recount
A procedural recount records events such
as a science experiment or a cooking experience
3. Biographical Recount
The purpose of a biographical recount is
to inform by retelling past events and achievements in persons’ life.
While Derewianka (1990) as cited
in KBK English (2005) classifies 3 types of recount text, i.e.:
1. Personal
Recount is information of certain event where the writer is involved, did it by
himself. e.g.; funny stories, experiences written in diary, etc.
2. Factual Recount
Factual recount is a report of
certain incidents, e.g.; science experiment report, police report, the report
in newspaper, history, explanation, etc.
3. Imaginative Recount
Imaginative Recount is an unreal
story of events, e.g.; the passage for language learning, the story of slavery
life, etc.
Below is the example of personal recount text
Last summer holiday,
my family and I spent one night at the countryside. We stayed in a small house.
It had a big garden with lots of colorful flowers and swimming pool. (Orientation)
First, we made a
fire in front of the house. Then, we sat around the fire and sang many songs
together. After that, we came into the house and had dinner. Next, we sat in
the living room and watched a movie. Finally, everybody fell asleep there. (Sequence of events)
We woke up very late
in the morning and had breakfast. In the afternoon, we went home. We were all
very happy. (Reorientation).
