Recount is a text which tells past event. This text usually used by the writer to tell his/her past experiences. Commonly, recount texts do not have any complications, although there are some emotional feeling in the text, these emotional feelings do not belong to complication.

1. Orientation         : The writer introduces the background of the story in this part. Such as name, time, place, etc. 
2. Events         : In this part, the writer tells his/her experience in order of circumstance.
