Example of Recount Text
Holiday to the Blue Mountain
On Friday we went to the blue montains. We stayed at David and delta’s house. It has a big garden with lots of colorful flowers and a tennis court.
First, on Saturday we saw the Three Sisters and went on the scenic railway. It was scary. Then, Mummy and I went shopping with Delta. We went to some antique shops and I tried on some old hats.
On Sunday we went on the scenic Skyway and it rocked. We saw cockatoos having a shower. In the afternoon we went home.
