Reflections

I learnt a few things about how to write procedure essays:

1- We use the active voice, e.g. make, boil, turn, etc.

2- We use the inking words, e.g. first, second, then, next, after that, finally.

3- We write the essay in three paragraphs in about (150 words): the introduction and the conclusion between (25-30 words) for each and between (90-100 words) for the main paragraph.

I also learnt how to write narrative essays:

1- We use the past continuous to describe something happened while we were doing something else, e.g. I was doing my homework when something broke …

2- We use the simple past for the main form, e.g. I heard, we saw, they told us …

3- Sometimes we use the past perfect to describe two actions which happened in the past, e.g. when I arrived at my house my parents were already gone.
