Recount is to tell past experience. There are 3 types of recount. One is Personal Recount that is to retell of an activity that the writer has been personally involved in e.g. diary, etc. Second one is Factual Recount that is to record the particulars of an incident e.g. report of a science, experiment, etc. The last one is Imaginative Recount is to talk on an imaginary role and give details of events e.g. a day in the life of Roman Slave. 
Narrative is to entertain the readers about the story.

What did you find easy?
To my way of thinking, procedure is easy for me. I really like reading about procedure .
What did you find difficult?
From my point of view, "Cause and Effect" is very difficult because I have to analyze what is cause and what is effect. Moreover, its content seems like Problem and Solution. So, I sometimes feel confused 
How did you solve the problem?
I have payed attention every weeks and done more exercises and prepare myself before the class started.
What are you attitudes toward to the lesson?
In my opinion, I think this course is very great for improving my English skills. It can help me to easily understand the contents and use the discourse markers . We should try to do more exercises, reading more passages, listening more, and speaking in English more. These can help me to successful in studying.
I would like to say thank you to Asst.Prof.Dr. Usa Noytim who taught me and all of my friends. You are my role model to be a good English teacher .
