Procedure Text

Hi hello fellas! It's me again! 😄
In this chapter, I want to tell you about ✨Procedure Text✨


Procedure text is a type of a text which describes a procedure of how to do or make something.

The grammar is pretty much simple. It uses imperative verbs.

Imperative verbs are verbs which create an imperative sentence, in example a sentence that gives an order. It will always sound like the speaker is bossing someone around. Imperative verbs don’t leave room for questions or discussion, even if the sentence has a polite tone.

For instance, imperative verbs are in the form of:

1. Pure verb (V1)

e.g. Close the door!

The verb close is in the form of pure verb (the very basic form of the verb). It does not follow time, tenses, or the number of subject (single or plural).

2. It does have a subject but the subject is hidden.

e.g. Close the door!

The speaker is talking to you but ‘you’ is not mentioned in the sentence. The sentence is actually: “(You) Close the door!”

A good procedure text does not use only imperative verbs. It also needs some other contents such as ingredients and/or utensils needed and steps to be followed.

The structure of a procedure text would be:

1. Title (What is your goal of conduct? e.g. How to Make Flattened Chocolate Cheese Banana or How to Make Meatball)

2. Ingredients and/or utensils (What are you going to need to make something)

3. Steps (How and what are the steps that you want to suggest to people)

A personal letter is a type of letter (or informal composition) that usually concerns personal matters (rather than professional concerns) and is sent from one individual to another. It's longer than a dashed-off note or invitation and is often handwritten and sent through the mail. "A personal letter takes longer to write than the few abrupt sentences you bang out without proofreading before you click on 'send'; it takes longer to read than the blink-and-delete blitz that helps you purge your inbox; and it digs deeper than the brief handwritten note that you drop in the mail," write authors Margaret Shepherd with Sharon Hogan, who are passionate about the diminishing art form in "The Art of the Personal Letter: A Guide to Connecting Through the Written Word." They go on to explain:  "A letter deals with issues that deserve more than a minute of attention. It aims to strengthen a relationship, not just react to a situation. A letter isn...

Hi hello, fellas, it's me again 💖 In this post, I want to explain about music. Music consists of several elements, namely melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. Music is a kind of intuitive phenomenon, to create, improve and perform it is an art form. There are four evident purposes for music: dance, ritual, entertainment personal, and communal, and above all social cohesion, again on both personal and communal levels. Music is all around us intersecting our lives, regulating our moods and bringing good vibes to those who are listening. It raises your mood, bringing excitement, or calming you down. It allows us to feel all the emotions that we experience in our lives. Music is the language that everyone understands.
