Example of Recount Text

Recount Text
Last month, my mother and I went to Jakarta.  We went to Ancol to see the Sea World and swim in Gelanggang Samudera.
We went at 09.00 a.m from our house by car.  We brought some food and beverage.
In Ancol, first we went to Sea World. There are many kinds of fish.  After that, we swam in Gelanggang Samudra.  We were very happy swimming while making a joke. At 4 o’clock, we went home.
