This document summarizes the key aspects of a recount text. It defines a recount text as one that recounts past events or experiences. The purpose is to inform or entertain the reader. A recount text has three main parts: an orientation that introduces background details like who, when, where; a series of events section that describes what happened in chronological order; and a reorientation that wraps up or comments on the events. Additionally, recount texts use past tense, chronological connectors, verbs and adverbs to describe the events in a sequential manner.
