DESCRIBING A PROCESS: USING IMPERATIVE SENTENCES

HOW TO MAKE BREAD.

I am going to show you how to make bread.


First, measure the correct amount of flour and warm water.
Next, mix the flour and water together in a mixing bowl. Add
yeast, salt and sugar. Next, knead the mixture until it feels
almost dry. Leave the mixture for about an hour in a warm
place. It will grow in size. After this, knead the mixture
again. Make sure the mixture is not sticky when you touch it.
Then leave the dough in a baking tin for about an hour to
give it time to rise. Finally, the dough is put into a preheated
oven for about forty minutes.
Exercise: Arrange the process of making coffee below into the right order

__ Stir in the rest of the hot water.


__ Take the instant coffee and put about one slightly rounded teaspoon
(this may vary based upon how strong one likes their coffee) in a mug.
__ Put water in a kettle and plug it in.
__ Add fresh whole milk, fresh half-and-half, or non-dairy creamer to the
coffee if desired.
__ Pour just a teaspoon of the very hot (nearly boiling) water into the mug;
only enough to dampen the instant coffee. If you use sugar, put in your
sugar granules.
__ If the coffee has been modified, then stir thoroughly until the extra
ingredients have been dissolved.
