My First Teaching Experience
Last year, I had my first experience teaching English to vocational high school students. It was both exciting and challenging.
On the first day, I felt nervous because the students looked very serious. However, I tried to smile and introduce myself confidently. I started the lesson with a simple game to break the ice.
After that, I explained the material about recount text. Some students were very active, but others were shy. I encouraged them to share their past experiences.
At the end of the class, the students gave positive feedback. I felt grateful and proud. That experience taught me to be more patient and confident as a teacher.

E. Example Recount Text 2
My Unforgettable Experience
Last year, I had an unforgettable experience when I visited my grandmother’s village. I went there with my family during the school holiday.
On the first day, we arrived in the evening. The air was fresh and the place was very quiet. The next day, I helped my grandmother in the garden and played with my cousins near the river. In the afternoon, we caught fish and cooked together.
Finally, it was time to go home. I felt happy but also sad because I had to leave the village. That experience will always stay in my memory.
Pengalaman Tak Terlupakan Saya
Tahun lalu, saya memiliki pengalaman yang tak terlupakan ketika mengunjungi desa nenek saya. Saya pergi ke sana bersama keluarga saat liburan sekolah.
Pada hari pertama, kami tiba pada sore hari. Udara terasa segar dan tempatnya sangat tenang. Keesokan harinya, saya membantu nenek di kebun dan bermain dengan sepupu-sepupu saya di dekat sungai. Pada sore hari, kami menangkap ikan dan memasak bersama.
Akhirnya, waktunya pulang. Saya merasa senang tetapi juga sedih karena harus meninggalkan desa. Pengalaman itu akan selalu saya ingat.

Last month, I experienced a traffic accident on my way to school. That morning, the weather was rainy and the road was slippery. I was riding my motorcycle carefully.
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of me without warning. I could not stop in time and crashed into the car. I fell off my motorcycle and hurt my leg.
