Parts of a Prosedure Text

A. Read and Learn

Procedure text is a text used to tell someone how to do or make something.

This type of text comes in many forms, such as instruction manuals and

recipes. The text consists of three parts:

1. Goal : Title of the text (especially for a recipe)

2. Materials : Optional, not for all procedural texts

3. Steps : a series steps oriented to achieving the Goal

B. Study the example below.

Goal: How to boil an egg

Do you know how to boil an egg? Well, this is the way!

Steps:

First, heat a saucepan of water on the stove.

Then put the egg in the boiling water.

After that, heat it until it boils.

Next, cook it for three minutes.

Don’t leave the eggs until it gets burnt.

Now, the egg is ready to serve.

Finally, serve it with pepper powder and salt

C. Read again the text above carefully and you will find:

1. The use of Simple Present Tense, often in an imperative form e.g. Heat a

saucepan, put the egg, etc.

2. The use mainly of temporal conjunction (or numbering to indicate

sequence especially in written text)

a. As the sentence introducers (sequencers) especially in spoken

text:

First … Firstly …

Second … Secondly …

Then … Thirdly …

After that … Afterwards …

Finally … Lastly …

e.g. Firstly, prepare some water!

b. As time introducers, especially in written text

… before …

After …

When …

While …

… until …

During …

e.g. While you are boiling the water, grind the chilies, onions and salt

3. The use of action verbs.

Example: put, cook

4. The use of precise vocabulary.

e.g. 1 teaspoon, a cup, etc.
