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...
