Recount Writing Introduction
A Lost Lunchbox
On Tuesday morning, Maia and her cousin Freya walked to the beach at Ōhope with their aunt. They planned to eat lunch beside the dunes before exploring the rock pools. First, Maia spread a picnic blanket near a pōhutukawa tree. Then Freya unpacked the fruit and sandwiches. Just as they were about to eat, Maia noticed that the blue lunchbox was missing. They searched the blanket and checked the chilly bin, but it was not there. After that, Freya remembered carrying the lunchbox from the car. The three of them retraced their steps along the path. Near the car park, Maia spotted the lunchbox beside a bench. A friendly tūī was perched nearby, but it had not opened the lid. Finally, they returned to the beach and enjoyed their lunch. Maia felt relieved, and Freya joked that next time they should appoint a lunchbox lookout. They spent the afternoon exploring the rock pools together.
