Okay good, recount text is text that retell about a story, experience, and other using simple past tense or past perfect tense in its phrase.

So,  the Generic Structure of Recount Text :

2. Sequence of events : tell what happened, in temporal sequence.  

3. Reorientation          : closure of events.
