Writing Clear Instructions
Help Kahu and Losa make a simple bike-repair guide. Read each task carefully, then write steps that someone else could follow.
Spot the ingredients of clear instructions
Use the bike-repair guide below for Questions 1–4.
1. First, remove the dust cap from the tyre valve.
2. Next, push the pump nozzle firmly onto the valve.
3. Then, pump the handle up and down until the tyre feels firm.
4. Finally, take off the nozzle and screw the dust cap back on.
1.In the guide, find two bossy verbs. Write both words.
2.Which words help the reader know the order of the steps? Choose all that fit.
- First
- Firmly
- Next
- Then
- Finally
- Dust
3.Kahu reads: “Push the pump nozzle firmly onto the valve.” What does the word “firmly” tell Kahu?
- When to push the nozzle
- How to push the nozzle
- Where to put the bike
- What colour the nozzle is
4.Losa suggests changing Step 2 to “Put the pump on it.” Explain one reason the original step is clearer.
Put steps in order
Georgia has mixed up the steps for cleaning a bike. Help her put them in a sensible order.
5.Number these bike-cleaning steps from 1 to 4. Write the numbers beside the steps.
___ Wipe the frame with the damp cloth.
___ Gather a soft cloth and a bucket of soapy water.
___ Dry the frame with a clean cloth.
___ Dip the cloth into the soapy water.
Write and improve a set of instructions
Now make a useful guide for someone visiting the bike repair shop.
6.Rewrite this unclear instruction so the reader knows exactly what to do: “Fix the wobbly seat.” Include a bossy verb and one helpful detail.
7.Kahu is writing instructions for putting a helmet on safely. Write three ordered steps. Use a time word at the start of each step and a bossy verb in every step.
8.Read Losa’s draft: “First, get the tools. Next, do the job. Finally, put things away.” Name one change that would make these instructions clearer.
9.Before sharing your bike-repair instructions, tick every useful check.
- The steps are in an order that makes sense.
- Each step tells the reader what to do.
- I used clear names for tools and bike parts.
- I added unrelated details to make the instructions longer.
- I checked that the reader can follow each step.
