This morning with my hands full of bags, I went to the railway station to catch my train at 10:00. I went there with a cab. To my surprise, when I just stepped my feet outside the cab, I could see a terrible beru huge crowd inside the railway station. As soon as I got myself into the crowd, I could smell millions of odor smells that were really horrible. I could not help myself to get rid of that because my hands were full with luggage. I just squeezed myself between two Chinese people and managed to pull myself out of the crowd onto the bridge to the railway station. I was luck as I have booked the ticked to Alor Seter. So I didnt bother to queue up for a ticket RECOUNT TEXT The social function of Recount text is to retell past event or something which happened in the past.

Personal Recount exposes an event in which the writer or the author got involved or acted in the event himself. Belong to this type among others are daily funny incidents, entries of a diary, etc. Factual Recount is a note of an event, such as scientific experiment report, police report, newspaper report, history explanation, etc. Imaginative Recount is an unreal event or story, like reading texts for language lesson, a story about a life of a slave, etc. Hardy and Kalrwein (1990) divided two kinds of Recount , namely Personal Recount and Historical Recount.
