Contoh Text Recount dan Jawabannya (dicetak merah)

        Andreas was a student of the University of Indonesia. Like many other students, he did not have much money because his grant was just enough to live on.

       Last year, during the semester holiday, he decided to go to Surabaya. He wanted to visit some friends there. Unfortunately, he could not afford a bus ticket, and even the train was too expensive. He, therefore, decided to hitchhike. He caught a bus to reach the highway and waited.
