Procedural Text (Teks Prosedur)
A procedural text contains a set of sequential steps that
explain how to complete a specific task. It usually includes a list of materials
and the steps or procedure required to do or make something. It may also
include advice or suggestion about how to do a task faster or differently as
well as warnings about things to look out for or to avoid. Direction,
instruction and rules are procedural texts.
Teks prosedur mengandung beberapa langkah-langkah yang
menceritakan bagaimana suatu pekerjaan dilakukan. Biasanya dalam penulisan- nya
terdapat juga bahan-bahan yang dipakai untuk membuat sesuatu tersebut, seprti
contoh nya cara membuat donat dan langkah-langkahnya. Teks prosedur dapat juga
berisi tentang saran atau nasehat tentang.
