Example of Recount Text

Going to Concert

Orientation :

On Saturday night, my three friends and I went to Noah’s concert in Sidoarjo, East Java. I forgot when it happened but I remembered that the show started at 08.00 o’clock until the midnight. It was really my first time watching live show.

Event 1 :

There are many people in the show area. They all are Noah’s lovers. The concert was great with the 2 emcees, a man and a woman. They seemed to be friendly by greeting all the audiences. Additionally, the stage was really fantastic with its unique light and so was the sound system. There were also selfie areas around the field of the show. We were really able to enjoy the good atmosphere beeing there.

Event 2 :

After the show finished, my friends and I decided to back home. One of them asked me to stay a night and then I agreed with the offer. Before going to bed we had dinner together. In the night I was able to sleep well.

Re-Orientation :

In the next morning, my friend woke up me and asked my opinion about the show. I said, It was fantastic show and I like it a lot. It was also my best experience to see popular artist directly.
