The Generic Structure of

Recount Text
# Orientation :

It gives the readers the background information needed to understand


the text, such as who was involved, where it happened, and when it
happened.
Usually marked by starting words like:
• Last morning…
• That night…
• Back when…
• The week before…
# Events :

A series of events, ordered in a chronological sequence. This is where


the brunt of text is located, that tells from beginning to the end
everything or anything that occurred in the writer’s experience.
At this point, the writer is taking us full-sway into his past, like what he
did before reaching a certain point in the story, what he possibly did in
a hotel room all the way to him/her going home.
# Re-orientation :

A personal comment about the event or what happened in the end. As


the ending of the story is reached, this is the part where the writer
writes any lingering thoughts he has/had on the experience; was it any
good going there, did he learn anything from the events that occurred
or did it leave any bad taste in his mouth.
For example:
For me, that was a beautiful day though I could not visit Malioboro. we
really enjoyed it, and I hope I could visit Jogja again.
