Example of Recount Text about School

Came Late to School

Last Wednesday, I came late to my school because I played play station until 2.00 am in the night. Because that I woke up late.

I woke up about 6.30 am and the class would be began at 7.00 am. I ran to bathroom to take a bath. I usually had a breakfast after took a bath, but in that day I did not do that.

I always went to school by my motorcycle. But in that day, I forgot where I put the key. So, I went to the school by public transportation. It made me took a longer time. I arrived at school at 7.15 am, I ran to my class but I saw my teacher has stood in front of the class to teach. I entered to my class and of course my teacher was angry to me because I came late.

It was my bad experience and I hoped I would not do that again.
