Prepare Before Reading
In this unit you will learn about procedure texts. What are procedure texts? They tell us
how to do something. The purpose is to provide instructions for making something, doing
something, or getting somewhere. Procedure texts can be in the forms of recipes,
directions, instruction manual, and itineraries.
In this unit, you will learn about how to rewrite a recipe. A recipe usually consists of
three sections – introduction, the ingredients, and the directions. The introduction gives the
aim or goal of the procedure. It may be the name of the food/beverage and/or an
introductory sentence. The ingredients section informs the materials needed to complete
the procedure. The directions section tells the series of actions in the order they need to be
completed. The grammatical features of a recipe include the use of command form, time
words or numbers, adverbs to describe how the action should be perform, and technical
terms.
