Instructions and manuals
NARRATOR: Sometimes writing is used to tell us how to do things, like in an instruction or a manual.
This alien wants to build a deck chair.
But every time she tries…she ends up making something different.
So that’s where an instruction manual comes in handy.
An instruction manual tells the reader how to complete a specific task.
It is written in plain English… and is designed to be as clear as possible… so that the instructions are easy to follow and the task can be successfully completed!
Right…
Description
Instructions can be seen all around us in our daily lives. For example, on packets of food, in manuals or guidebooks, and even on the roads and streets outside.
