Recounts are written to retell a series of past events. Diaries, journals and articles are some examples of recount styles. Grammatical features that are often seen in recounts are things like past tense words, adverbs and time connectives. While the structure of a recount is often broken up into three sections.
The orientation that introduces to your reader what you are recounting, the events that describes what happened in your recount, and the conclusion that details the last event that occurred in your recount. What I did on the weekend. Diary. My summer holiday. Journal.
and last night's basketball match article are all examples of recounts. Let's check out my summer holiday, see if you can spot some of the grammatical features of this recount and recognize its structure. On my summer holiday my family and I had the trip of a lifetime flying to Australia, France and the USA.
We began our journey by hopping on a plane. Our first destination, the golden beaches of Melbourne, Australia. My sister and I built sand castles on the sandy shore, and my older brother even taught me how to surf. Then we packed our bags and headed to our next destination. Next on our journey was Paris, France.
After checking into our accommodation, mum took me to see the Eiffel Tower. It was so massive! Then later that day, dad and I hung out with Mona Lisa at the Louvre. Our final stop was to the city that never sleeps, New York City, USA. We visited the Statue of Liberty, enjoyed a New York Slice, then finally walked along the Brooklyn Bridge to end our big holiday.
Summertime was over and my family and I were home, but what an epic trip it was. Best summer ever. Now you know how to write a recount, so good luck and happy riding with Ride Starler. Riding made fun.
