The document discusses the generic structure and language features of a recount text. A recount text retells past events or experiences to inform or entertain an audience. It typically has an orientation introducing participants, place, and time, followed by a series of described events in chronological order, and ends with a reorientation providing a closing comment. Key language features include using personal pronouns to introduce participants, chronological connectors like "then" and "first" to link events, and the simple past tense.
