E. Sample of Recount Text
My 5 Days In Lombok
School holiday started from December 19 to January 4. I had no plan for the holiday because I have so many things to do. But, among those things I realized that I need holiday. So, in the last day of 2018, I went to Lombok for 5 days.
My first day was really fun! I took the plane at 10:20 am and arrived in Lombok at 13:15 pm. My first stop was Pantai Kuta Lombok. We all know that Lombok is known as the place where you can see beach, sea, and hills at the same time. The view was very beautiful but not only that, after seeing the beauty of Kuta Beach, I went to the Tanjung Aan and went up to the hill. The view was breathtaking. From the top of the hill, I could see the amazing nature of Lombok and I was very amazed when the sun set. The view was wonderful. Then, when I was on the hill, I met a girl named Eni. She's a bracelets seller and I learned something from her. She was really grateful when people bought her bracelets.
Another year, another island. On the next day, I continued my trip to Pink Beach in East Lombok. As its name, Pink Beach has pink sands that what makes it special. I didn’t stay long there because it was too crowded, so I went to Gili Petelu. There, I went snorkeling and it was really fun! The sea was so clear, blue, and beautiful. I could see different kind of fishes and I also saw the rare blue coral! You know, you can only find blue corals in Lombok and in the Carribean Sea. I spent my time there until sunset and it was very beautiful.
On the third day, I went to Gili Trawangan. It was raining all day. when I arrived there, I didn’t do many things. On the next day, I went to Gili Meno then Gili Air. Before I arrived at Gili Air, I saw a turtle up on the sea and I was very happy until I realized that the turtle was trapped. Luckily, there was a man jumped out of the boat and saved the turtle, who would believe it? The moment I saw that, I felt grateful because there’s still faith in humanity.
I only had a short time on my last day so I went to Desa Sade, the tradisional village in Lombok. In Desa Sade, I also bought bracelets as a gift for my friends. I also learned how to weave and I found it more difficult than I thought.
Finally, It was time to return to Jakarta. I went to the airport at 5 pm. During flight I felt so exciting with my holiday and planned to come back to Lombok.
