ReplyDeleteRecipes are a specific genre with a specific look. Yours looks like a recipe, and that’s good.
However, “Banana cake is a easy and tasty cake,” should be something like, “Banana cake is easy to make and tasty.” And, this doesn’t fit in with the "abbreviated style" that you have, so I would remove it.
COHESIVENESS
This writing is fairly cohesive, but the cohesiveness does “fall apart” when you make mistakes, and most of your mistakes occurred when you combined things that you shouldn’t have combined. (For specific examples, see “GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY.”) Because it was hard to follow when you tried to combine “parts” that shouldn’t have been combined, and because the “typical recipe genre” typically has separate “parts” (e.g., separate ingredients and separate, numbered steps), it would behoove you to follow the typical recipe genre. (For example, you made mistakes in the ingredients, but I was still able to understand what the ingredients are because you listed each one separately. When you threw a bunch of steps together after “Before you get started …,” I got lost when you made mistakes.)
GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY
Normally I will not correct everything, but I will this time because this is short. However, I want you to tell me why you think I made the changes that I made. (Speak to me before, during, or after class, or write me on this blog.)

5. Pour the batter into a pan (approximately 20cm x 10cm x 8cm).

This recipe above was written in an “abbreviated style.” That is OK because it is acceptable in the recipe genre, but I would suggest that you do not use an abbreviated style because it limits you. If you write things out more completely, then learning how to write a recipe will better help you learn how to write in other genres. The following is the same recipe in a “less abbreviated — more conversational — style”:

ReplyDeleteI think, it's easy and clear to understand.
COHESIVENESS
I liked the order that you wrote the recipe, because it's easy to read.
GRAMMAR
The way you wrote 338F, it lacks the Farenheit symbol.
Add the eggs little by little and THE banana, I think you forgot THE.
3 walnuts..... plural, not singular
And the last n.6, whipped cream, not whipp cream
