3. Imaginative Recount: a text that is usually used by someone as a

story of an imaginative event or something that did not really
happen. It could be a dream or an imagination.

My Dream as Spiderman
I dreamed of being a superhero when I was a teenager. I imagined myself

as Spiderman.
One day, when I was fishing at the river I was bitten by a spider and
luckily, I was not dying. At first, I felt cold for 24 hours and I was alone in my
room. Nobody knew about it. I didn’t tell my family because I was afraid, they

would be angry with me. After that, something had happened in my body and I
still did not recognize it. I lived as I did usually, went to school, went home,

ate, did some activities and so on. I realized at the first time that I had a
superpower was when I was in an accident. I rode a motorcycle and suddenly a
bus crashed into me. I bounced out of the road and my motorcycle was totally
broken. But in that case, I did not feel any pain. There was no blood out of my

body. I was angry at that time because the bus did not stop and escaped. I ran
after it and I didn’t know why I could run so fast and jump so high. I jumped
to the back of the bus and climbed it like a spider. I went to the front, stopped

the bus and took the driver out of the bus door. I knew that I was no longer a
normal human being. I did nothing more to the bus driver. I went back home
and decided what to do after that.
I did nothing like Spiderman in the movie that helped people to catch the

criminals. I was an opportunist super hero. I was afraid of killing people so that
I hid my power from anybody else. I used my power only when I or my family
and friends got into danger.
