Procedure Text
A. Definition

Procedure text is a type of text that is written to explain how to


do something. It's a step-by-step explanation of a process or a set of
instructions for completing a specific task. Procedure text is used in
many contexts, such as manuals, recipes, scientific experiments, or
instructions for assembling products.

B. Structure

1. Goal
The goal is the starting point of a procedure text. It sets the stage by providing a
clear statement of what the reader is trying to achieve by following the
instructions. It gives context and purpose, helping the reader to understand why
they are undertaking the task.

2. Materials or ingredients
This section provides a comprehensive list of everything needed to carry out
the task. It ensures that the reader has everything at hand before starting.

 Materials: This could include tools, equipment, or other supplies. For


example, if you’re assembling a piece of furniture, this section would list
all the required parts and tools like screws, nails, a hammer, etc.
 Ingredients: In a cooking context, this refers to all the food items and
quantities needed to prepare a dish. It’s like a shopping list for your
recipe, ensuring you have everything you need to start cooking.

3. Steps
The Steps are the heart of a procedure text. This section provides a detailed,
step-by-step guide on how to achieve the aim or goal. It breaks down the task
into manageable parts, often in a chronological or logical order.

C. Language Features

1. Simple present tense


The simple present tense in a procedure text makes the action immediate and
relevant. It’s as if the procedure is happening right now, in real time, guiding
the reader as they perform the task.
Example:

 Pour the water into the glass


 Mix the ingredients until well combined

2. Imperative sentences
Imperative sentences are command forms that tell someone to do something.
They are direct and to the point, which is essential in instructions.
Example:

 Knead the dough until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes
 Apply the paint evenly across the canvas, using broad strokes for a
textured effect

3. Connectives
Connectives (or conjunctions) are words or phrases that link different parts of a
text. They can show the order of steps, the relationship between different parts,
or add additional information.
Examples of connectives in procedure texts include words like then, next, after
that, before, or finally. These words help guide the reader through the process
in a logical and coherent way.
Example:

 First, wash the rice; then, soak it for 20 minutes


 Measure the ingredients carefully. After that, mix them in a bowl

4. Adverbs
Adverbs can provide additional detail about how an action is to be performed,
adding precision and clarity to the instructions. They can describe how, when,
where, or to what extent something is done.
Example:

 Slowly add water to the flour, stirring constantly


 Thoroughly wash the vegetables to remove any dirt or pesticides

The adverbs ‘slowly’ and ‘thoroughly’ in these examples add nuance to the
action, guiding the reader on how exactly to perform the task.

to a song with a slow rhythm, we will be carried away by the song. So, rhythm creates
mood!

something in common. .e.g. “Timeis a thief” or “Herhaisrwassilk”

5. Generic Structure

the instruments)
 Verse, or verse, is the introductory part to the chorus.

 Refrain, transition from verse to chorus

 The chorus, the main part, is usually the easiest to remember.

 Bridge, connecting the chorus to the next chorus or to the coda.

 Coda, ending of the song.


This structure is not rigid, so not all songs have a structure arranged like that. But in
general every song must have a verse, chorus and bridge.

“Trouble is a Friend”
By : Lenka

Trouble will find you no mater where you go, oh oh


No Matter if you’re fast no matter if you’re slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm and the cry in the morn, oh oh
Your fine for a while but then start to loose control

He’s there in the dark


He’s there in my heart
He waits in the winds
He’s gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah trouble is a friend of mine. oh oh

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh


And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don’t forget as you ease on down the road

So don’t be alarmed if he takes you by the arm


I won’t let him win, but I’m a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend
Yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel


And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh Oh I try
