6.     Sample

a.     Imaginative Recount

I dreamed of being a superhero when I was a teenager. I imagined myself as Spiderman. 

 

One day, when I was fishing at the river I was bitten by a spider and luckily I was not dying. At first I felt cold for 24 hours and I was alone in my room. Nobody knew about it. I didn't tell my family because I was afraid they would be angry with me. After that, something had happened in my body and I still did not recognize it. I lived as I did usually, went to school, went home, ate, did some activities and so on. 

 

I realized at the first time that I had a superpower was when I was in an accident. I rode a motorcycle and suddenly a bus crashed into me. I bounced off the road and my motorcycle was totally broken. But in that case, I didn't feel any pain. There was no blood out of my body. I was angry at that time because the bus did not stop and escaped. I ran after that and I didn't know why I could run so fast and jump so high.

 

I jumped to the back of the bus and climbed on it like a spider. I went to the front, stopped the bus and took the driver out of the bus door. I knew that I was no longer a normal human being. I did nothing more to the bus driver. I went back home and decided what to do after that.

 

I did nothing like Spiderman in the movie that helped people catch criminals. I was an opportunist super hero. I was afraid of killing people so that I hid my power from anybody else. I used my power only when I or my family and friends got into danger. 

 

b.    Historical Recount

For more than 30 years, Indonesia was governed by Suharto as the president after the era of President Soekarno. As the people started to feel injustice, several cracks emerged that shook the political condition. Political tensions in the capital city increased by the numerous riots that occurred in several cities and violent ethnic clashes.

 

The government became unstable and struggled as a monetary crisis hit Asia in the second half of 1997. Indonesia suffered the most. Prices rose massively and many businesses went bankrupt. As the economy fell down, people got angry and protests occurred everywhere. The protests became bigger and riots started in many parts of Indonesia.

 

During the monetary crisis, Suharto could maintain his position as president when he was re-elected in March 1998. However, Suharto did not do anything that could help the economy. As the government seemed helpless in bringing the economy back, people demanded President Suharto to step down.

 

Demonstrations were held everywhere and it became the peak with the Trisakti incident on 12 May 1998. Four students were shot to death while demonstrating at Trisakti University in Jakarta and 9 students were killed at Semanggi. The incident led to huge riots in Jakarta and various cities all over Indonesia.

 

Finally, Suharto was pushed to step down and the reform era began in Indonesia.

Study Tour to East Java

 

When I was in 6th grade, I went with my classmates for a study tour in Malang, East Java. I leave home at 3 pm. Before leaving, a ceremony was held for departure. after the ceremony, we went for the Asr prayer and prayed that our journey would go smoothly without any obstacles. We left for Malang at 4 pm. We really enjoyed the trip, we saw many beautiful scenery along the way and occasionally talk with friends and eat snacks that we have brought from home.

 

The first tour we went was the Tomb of the 4th president of Indonesia, Abdurrahman Wahid. we reached the tomb at 11 pm. The atmosphere that night was quite crowded even though it was in the vicinity of the Tomb. after that we headed to Malang, and arrived at 3 am. We headed for the apple orchard and hotel for a short break. In the afternoon we made a visit to museum Angkut, and returned to the hotel at 8 pm. In the morning at 8 o'clock we had to immediately prepare for the last tour, namely Jatim Park 1 and Jatim Park 3. There we rode various interesting rides, until the afternoon arrived.

 

We went back to Semarang, after buying some souvenirs for each family. we arrived at 3 a.m. and immediately went home.
