Contoh Personal Recount
Teks 1
I think my first memories began when I started school at about five years old. I lived in a
suburb of Sydney. I had a happy childhood. I remember playing in a big gaden.
I fell from a
tree and broke my hand. I had to stay home for two weeks. I had a naughty friend named giant O,
because he was fat. He like hitting and pulling my head. It was so pathetic. One day I hit him
over the head with my bag. His parents were very angry with me. But I didnt feel sorry at all at
that time. Nevertheles, since the Giant O has become my good friend. It was such unforgettable
childhood.
