Materi dan Penjelasan tentang Recount Text
Apa sih recount text itu? Dari segi arti kata “recount” berarti menceritakan kembali, sehingga dapat di definisikan bahwa recount text adalah suatu jenis teks yang isinya menceritakan tentang suatu kegiatan atau tindakan atau peristiwa yang telah terjadi di masa lampau. Umumnya berisi tentang pengalaman seseorang yang diceritakan dengan tujuan untuk menghibur pendengar atau pembaca.
Lantas apa yang membedakannya dengan narrative text, jika sama-sama bertujuan untuk menghibur pembaca? Perbedaannya yaitu jika teks naratif lebih fokus kepada cerita imajinatif yang bersifat fiksi maka teks recount berasal dari peristiwa atau pengalaman yang telah dialami oleh seseorang. Sehingga dalam teks recount tidak terdapat adanya konflik seperti yang ada dalam teks naratif.

Visiting Tana Toraja
Orientation:
Last February, I went to Toraja with UNM Creates students. UNM Creates is a short course program from Makassar State University for international students. At that time, the participants were from Korea, India, and Taiwan.
Events:
We departed from Makassar to Toraja at 6.30 AM by bus. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam so we could arrive in Toraja at 01.30 PM. Before we went to Gua Lemo, we had lunch at Sentosa Restaurant first. We ate Kapurung. For some students, it was their first time trying Kapurung. They said it was delicious.
Then we went to Gua Lemo. It took more than one hour and a half to go there from the restaurant. At 3.00 PM, we arrived at Gua Lemo. Before we enter the area, we bought some souvenirs in the souvenir shop. At exactly 3.30 PM, we entered the area of Gua Lemo. It was a grave that made in the cave.
After we looked the cave, we went to Kapurung Resto to get dinner. We ate kapurung which is traditional foods made from sago flour. After we had dinner, we went to our hotel which is not too far away from Kapurung resto to get some rest.
The day after that, we started the day with getting breakfast at the hotel. Then we departed to Lolai at 7.45 AM. From the hotel, we spent more than two hours on the way to Lolai. After we arrived, we walked around the mount to explore. It was very cool. There were a bunch of cloud at that time. After we spent enough time there, we had lunch and returned to Makassar.
Reorientation:
We were very tired when we arrived in Makassar, but we had a lot of fun during the cultural visit. It was very nice to go to Toraja and I hope I can go there again sometime.
