PROCEDURE TEXT

Not every one was born to be good at cooking. Even cooks in restaurants need to learn how to make delicious food and drink. However, we don't have to be a cook to be good at it. We can simply ask our parents or older brothers and sisters at home to teach us. Besides, we can also learn on our own from recipes. In another example, if we don't know how to turn on the washing machine at home , for example, we can just take a look at the manual.  In recipes and manuals, there are ingredients or things that we should prepare and steps to take.
