Procedure Text: Manual

Hello everyone,

So happy to meet you again. I hope you are happy, healthy and ready to study.

This morning you are expected to learn more about another kind of procedure text, MANUAL.

Do you know what manual is?

Here are the examples: (source)

From the examples, can you now define what's manual?

Before we learn more about it, let's take a look at our material last week. Do you still remember?

Kita ingat-ingat dulu ya materi minggu lalu.

What's a procedure text?

Procedure text is a text that is designed to describe how something is achieved through a sequence of actions or steps. It explains how people perform different processes in a sequence of steps. 

Teks prosedur adalah teks yang didisain untuk mendeskripsikan bagaimana sesuatu dicapai melalui langkah-langkah tertentu. 

The most popular kinds of procedure text are recipe (resep) and manual. 

Back to the question: What is manual?

Manual is a text that shows how to operate or use an appliance, a tool, or a machine properly.

Teks manual adalah teks yang menunjukkan bagaimana cara mengoperasikan sebuah peralatan atau mesin dengan benar.

What is the generic structure of a procedure text, especially manual?

The generic structure is similar to the one we learnt last week.

1. Title/Goal (Sometimes it is in a form of an introductory paragraph. Biasanya selain judul, berupa paragraf perkenalan tentang apa yang kana dibahas)
2. Materials/Ingredients    (Sometimes in manual, this part is not mentioned or stated directly. Biasanya dalam teks manual, bagian ini tidak disebutkan)
3. Steps/Method (It shows how something is done/achieved step by step. Menunjukkan bagaimana sesuatu dilaksanakan/dicapai langkah demi langkah secara urut)

What are the characteristic of a procedure text, especially manual?

1. It uses imperative sentences (Menggunakan pola kalimat perintah), for examples: plug in, don’t mix, switch off, rinse;
2. It uses action verbs (turn, put, don’t, mix, clean);
3. It uses connectives (kata penghubung) untuk mengurutkan kegiatan, misalnya then, while,  finaly, after that.
4. It uses adverbials (kata keterangan) untuk menyatakan secara rinci waktu, tempat, serta cara yang akurat, misalnya for five minutes, 2 hours, dan sebagainya. 
5. It uses simple present tense.

So, what is actually the social function of the procedure text, especially manual?

It is to tell people how to do or operate something properly. 

Fungsi sosial teks prosedur, terkhusus manual adalah untuk menunjukkan kepada pembaca cara melakukan atau mengoperasikan sesuatu dengan semestinya.

As a closing, what do you think about the benefit of reading a manual?

You can drop by your answer on the comment below or later on our next activity.

Okay. Let's continue the lesson.

Something is happening right now.

Hello everyone, 
welcome back to my page.

Do you know what does a journalist do? Yes, they usually report some news to the audience or listeners. I think their job is cool. Maybe some of you are interested to be a journalist later when you grow up, aren't you?

When the journalists report a live event in English, they will use present continous tense. So, we will learn about it through this post.

I will tell you briefly about present continous tense through this video. I recorded it few months ago. Check it out.

In short, here are some key points of present continous tense:

• Present continous tense is used to describe condition which is happening at the moment of speaking.
• The word like now, at the moment, at present, this time are the signal words commonly found in present continous text.
• These are the structures for the sentence formation:

	Formation	Example
Positive	Subject + is/am/are + v1 + ing.	I am creating a blog post. She is cooking dinner. They are playing outside.
Negative	Subject + is/am/are + not + v1 + ing.	I am not typing an email. He is not teaching about simple past. We are not going to the market together.
Interrogative	Is/am/are + subject + v1 + ing?	Are you waiting for me? Is she calling the doctor? Am I doing the right thing?

Here I attach some work by my previous students related to the use of present continous tense. They are reporting about one big event in our school, SMPN 2 Salatiga. Look at their work.

I think their work is great. It looks like a live report on the spot. Don't you want to give it a try? It is fun. Trust me. 👩

Now, it's time for you to practice. Are you ready? Please take a moment to fill in the worksheet. I'm waiting for your response.

Best regards,
Ms. Ratnana
