Contoh Recount Text

Last year, my friends and I went to Yogyakarta. Four of us visited many places such as Yogyakarta Palace, Malioboro, and Kaliurang. We were so excited because it was our first visit in Yogyakarta.

Kaliurang was our last destination. We went there early in the morning to see the clear and magnificent scenery of Mount Merapi. We rented two motorcycles and rushed to the s
pot. When we finally got there, we were so jolly and we couldn’t think clearly. The beautiful landscape blew our mind!

We parked our motorcycles and waited for a car to pick us up. When a car came, there were only two seats and I told two of my friends to take the turn. They agreed and got into the car. My friend and I waited for the next round. While waiting, my friend asked me where the motorcycle key was. I was startled! I forgot the key! I checked my bag, purse, pockets, but it was not there.

I ran back to the parking lot but I couldn’t find anything. My friend and I searched around, tracked our way to the waiting area but we found nothing. We almost gave up when my phone rang. My friend called and told me that she brought the key. She said that I left the key on the motorcycle and she decided to keep it. I felt so relieved and enjoyed the rest of our trip.
