Protocol procedure text contains steps that can be done flexibly. That is, the

                              purpose of the text is still achieved even if the reader does not follow the steps
                              sequentially. Still confused? Take a look at this example.

                              Example of protocol procedure text: ''In making instant noodles, you are free
                              to boil the noodles first or choose to pour the seasoning into the bowl first.''

                          3)  Complex Procedure Text

                              Complex procedure text usually requires more tools, materials, and time than
                              simple procedure text. In complex procedure texts, it is not uncommon for us

                              to find sub-stages before moving on to the next step.
                              Examples of complex procedure text:

                                 a)  Prepare risol skin dough

                              - Add flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, 2 eggs, butter and milk. Mix well. Add
                              water to make dough.

                              - Sieve the skin mixture so that there are no lumps of flour.
                              - Then pour it using a ladle on hot Teflon over low heat until half cooked.

                                 b)  Prepare a sheet of risol skin then add sausage, egg slices, mayonnaise
                                     and grated cheese, then roll the risol shape.



                   5.  Linguistic Rules of Text Procedure
                       Linguistic rules are certain characteristics attached to a text. In compiling procedural

               texts, there are linguistic rules that are commonly used, namely:
                          1)  Sentences

                              There are 3 categories of sentences that you can find in procedure text, namely
                              Imperative, Declarative, and Interrogative

                                 a)  Imperative Sentences

                                     Imperative  sentences  are  sentences  that  contain  orders,  requests,  or
                                     prohibitions to do something. Example: "Be careful when frying risol!''

                                 b)  Declarative Sentence

                                     A  declarative  sentence  is  a  sentence  that  contains  a  statement.
                                     Example:  ''Risol  mayonnaise  is  a  snack  that  is  suitable  for  serving

                                     family or visiting guests."
                                 c)  Interrogative Sentences

                                     Interrogative  sentences  are  sentences  that  ask  questions.  Example:
                                     "How do you make a delicious mayonnaise roll?"
