2. Series of Events

A Series of events are part of the body of the text that contains a series

of sequential events experienced by the author or other people sequentially.
For example, if the Recount Text tells the holiday experiences, then the
Series of Events section contains a series of events that are experienced

sequentially, starting from the initial preparations for the holidays until the
holidays are over.

3. Re-Orientation

Re-orientation is the concluding part of the text which contains
conclusions, messages, impressions, or the author's feelings about the

events experienced. For example, the writer tells his experience during the
holidays with his family, so the writer can tell how happy he is when

spending holiday time with his family.

The Example

Orientation:
Yesterday I and my family went to Way Kambas national park to see the
elephants and rhinos conserved there. Way Kambas National Park is a
national park that is used as an elephant and rhino sanctuary located in
Labuhan Ratu District, East Lampung, Lampung, Indonesia.

Series of Events:
When we got there, we saw some elephant performances such as playing
football, sitting, greeting the visitors, and other entertaining
performances. Unfortunately, we could not see the Sumatran rhinoceros
because visitors must have a special permit in advance to see them.
Visitors or ordinary tourists cannot see the Sumatran rhino’s natural
breeding. In the afternoon we saw some animals which were being fed.

Re-Orientation:
When we returned home, we were tired but we were happy because we
had so much fun in Way Kambas.
