Procedure or instruction (How something is done)

The purpose is to tell the reader how to do or make something. These texts are usually written in the present tense.


Types of procedural Texts

- How to do a particular activity.
- Deal with human behavior, such as how to live happily.

The teacher told us to talk with my friends about “the foods that I had ever cooked”. she showed the power point that is about the healthy diet. After that, she told us about her life in Sydney, Australia that she cooked a lot. Then, she assigned the work for us to make the video about the food by we must do and explain how to do it. It made me very excited for this work. Next, she opened the video of “Jamie Oliver” that he was cooking “the perfect omelet”. So, the teacher assigned us to listen and watch this video carefully and write words or sentences that we hear. After we watched it finished, she asked us about words or sentences that we hear. So, we could tell many words and sentences.

Then we matched each sentence with the correct picture and put all sentences in the correct order about omelet recipe. Exercise 2 we read the Chicken soup recipe and answered the questions. Next we did exercise 3, the text tell the reader how to use a toaster and answer the questions that are true(T) or false (F) and complete the sentences.

In my opinion we find procedure very easy in real life, the most common example of procedure text is a recipe, the instruction is clear and easy to understand. It enable us to get thing done. Exercise 1 and 2 were easier than exercise 3 and vocabularies were not too hard, it was easy to understand clearly. Exercise 3 was hard because it's too long. When we answered the questions, we had to find what line the answer is. it made me confused. I solved the problem by read carefully and underlined the answer.
