Understanding Recount Texts

Last summer holiday, I went on a trip to Yogyakarta with my family. We stayed there for five days. On the first day, we visited the Prambanan Temple. I was amazed by the beauty of the temple and the historical stories my father told me. After that, we had lunch at a small local restaurant and tried Gudeg, a traditional Javanese dish.

The next day, we went to the Sultan’s Palace and learned about the history of Yogyakarta. In the afternoon, we visited Malioboro Street to buy souvenirs. On the third day, we went to Mount Merapi for a hiking adventure. It was challenging but exciting. My younger brother even slipped but luckily he was fine. On the fourth day, we explored the beaches around Parangtritis. We built sandcastles and watched the sunset. Finally, on the last day, we packed our things, had breakfast, and returned home with many wonderful memories.
