6 I remembered what my parents always told me – if you ever
get lost, ask for help. I spotted a lady at a nearby stall and
told her I was lost. She comforted me and asked me to stay
with her while she called the security.

7 That day, I learned a very important lesson. I realized how
crucial it is to stay close to your parents, especially in crowded
places. I also understood the importance of asking for help
when needed. It was a day of mixed emotions, but in the
end, it taught me a valuable lesson that I will remember for
the rest of my life.

8 The security officer used the loudspeaker to announce that
a child was lost. Hearing my description, my parents rushed
towards the security booth. Seeing them, I ran and hugged
them tightly. I was so relieved to see them. I had never been
so happy to see my parents before.

explanation about the kind of text below.

Writing Process Instruction

Process analysis is a fancy way of showing a series of steps. There
are two types of process analysis essay: directional and informational.
Both essays provide the reader with a series of steps in a process. The
difference is in how the writer wants to influence the reader.
1. Directional essays give directions. They provide a series of steps
(such as how to bake chocolate chip cookies) with the intention that
the reader will actually follow the steps and make those cookies.

2. Informational essays provide information but do not expect the
reader to take action upon those steps. For example, an informational
essay may demonstrate the steps for how acid rain is caused but
does not expect the reader to go out and make acid rain.
