Recount Text Grade 8

At the end of the first semester, we had a two week holiday. At the beginning, I was just thinking about my study, because next semester there would be held an important examination. But, I changed my mind to take refreshing at the beach, where I hope I could get much happiness. If I spent my time just for studying I would have got stressed.

Soon I called my friend and I asked her to join me to go to Anyer beach. So we called other friends and invited them to go together. I was very happy because they agreed to join and we will go to Anyer beach together. We decided to stay there for two days.

When we arrived at Anyer beach, I felt very happy enjoying the scenery, playing with the sand, and swimming on sea. We enjoyed our holiday very much. But, we didn’t forget the examination either.

Why did the writer change her mind to go to the beach?

• She wanted to study.

• She would get refreshing.

• She would spend her time.

• She wanted play and swim.
