AYOSEMARANG.COM -- Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris di SMP tidak hanya berfokus pada kemampuan membaca atau mendengarkan, tetapi juga menekankan keterampilan menulis. Dalam Kurikulum Merdeka, siswa SMP Kelas 8 diarahkan untuk berlatih membuat teks recount, yaitu tulisan yang menceritakan kembali pengalaman atau peristiwa di masa lalu dengan runtut dan jelas.
Materi ini bisa ditemukan pada Unit 3: Independence Day at SMP Merdeka, tepatnya di Section 5, Writing and Editing dari buku English for Nusantara kelas 8 yang ditulis oleh Ika Lestari Damayanti dan diterbitkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi.
Pada halaman 64, siswa diminta untuk menyusun kembali cerita berdasarkan kerangka yang sudah dibuat sebelumnya. Struktur penulisannya mengikuti pola Orientation, Record of Events, dan Comment, sehingga hasil akhirnya berbentuk narasi yang runtut, mudah dipahami, sekaligus menyenangkan untuk dibaca.
Tujuan dari latihan ini adalah melatih siswa menulis teks naratif yang kohesif, menggunakan bahasa yang tepat, serta memiliki alur yang jelas. Dengan begitu, siswa tidak hanya belajar grammar, tetapi juga mampu menuangkan ide menjadi tulisan utuh.

The school yard was beautifully decorated with red and white ornaments, creating a lively and festive atmosphere for Indonesia’s Independence Day. On the morning of August 17, all students and teachers at SMP Merdeka gathered together to celebrate this important occasion. To make the day more exciting, several traditional games were held, and I decided to join one of the most popular: the sack race.
After writing down my name, I received a sack made of rough fabric. My heart started to pound because I was not very confident in my jumping ability. At the starting line, I saw my friends Budi and Siska also getting ready. Everyone looked both nervous and excited, filling the air with cheerful laughter.
As soon as the whistle blew, we began hopping forward as fast as possible. The race quickly turned into chaos filled with joy. Some of my friends stumbled and fell, while I tried hard to keep my balance. Although I was left behind, I kept moving forward with determination. Meanwhile, Budi showed great agility and soon took the lead.
Finally, Budi reached the finish line first and received a big round of applause. Not long after, I managed to finish the race too, gasping for breath but smiling widely. Even though I did not win, I felt proud of myself for completing the race and sharing happiness with my friends.
That experience taught me that winning is not everything. What matters more is the spirit of togetherness, sportsmanship, and unity. The celebration reminded me that Independence Day is about appreciating freedom while enjoying precious moments with others.
