Recount Text

One morning I met my father outside the school gate. Prior to this, I received my teacher's permission to be temporarily excused from class. I would collect some items from my father.

My father handed me my examination result slip which he had signed. Also, he gave me a consent form for the Track and Field Training Camp in which I would take part. My father scolded me for being irresponsible. I just kept silent and told him that I had to return to my class. My father then quickly left for work.

I rushed back to my class. However, I did not carefully place my wallet, which contained money, in my pocket. I dropped it and I didn't notice it. The money was the fee for the Track and Field Training Camp!

• he did not permit the writer to join a training camp.

• he had forgotten to submit the writer’s work to school.

Last year I joined the Chicago Marathon, my first marathon contest. I had to run 26,2 miles to complete it. It was hard.
At first, I just wanted to get the experience of joining a marathon. I thought it would be one life time experience. After finishing it, I changed my mind. I wanted to join another one. I was interested to complete at least one more marathon and improve my time. I also experienced a good feeling between participants and the spectators that made me happy. It was a very wonderful thing for me. So I decided that I had to join another marathon the following year.
