Recount ^___^

      This morning, I learned A Discourse Approach in Reading

with Dr.Usa Noytim and I learned about recount. I don’t know

about this the matter and I try to learned more understand. 

In a recount we reconstruct past experience. A recount is the 

unfolding of a sequence of events over time. We are using 

language to keep the past alive and help us to interpret 

experience and recount tells us about something that has 

happened. It is written for someone who wants to know was

happened and the types of recount as follow;1.Personal recount– 

retelling an activity that the writer has been personally involved 

in and may be used to build the relationship between the writer 

and the reader e.g. anecdote, diary journal, personal letter. 2. 

Factual recount – reporting the particulars of an incident by 

reconstructing factual information e.g. police reconstruction of an

accident, historical recount, biographical and autobiographical 

recounts. 3. Imaginative recount– applying factual knowledge to 

an imaginary role in order to interpret and recount events e.g. A

Day in the Life of a Roman Slave, How I Discovered Radium. For 

exercise about “My Grandpa’s Funeral in Toraja”, IT difficult for 

me because I don’t know about vocabulary but this exercise it 

interested. It made me know culture about funeral of Toraja in 

Indonesia and I feel good in learned this class too.
