Level 1: Explain how to do something, such as brush your teeth or make a sandwich. In your explanation, use a verb or several verbs in different functions.
Level 2: Think about what you have learned about different functions of verbs, as well as the active and passive voice. Explain an activity you have done in the active voice, using a verb or several verbs in different functions. Then change the same explanation to the passive voice.

To brush your teeth, follow these steps:
1. Take your toothbrush and apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on it.
2. Hold the toothbrush firmly in your hand.
3. Wet the bristles of the toothbrush under running water.

5. Move the toothbrush back and forth in short, gentle strokes.
6. Remember to brush all surfaces of your teeth, including the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces.
7. Ensure that you brush your tongue as well to remove any bacteria and freshen your breath.
8. Continue brushing for at least two minutes.
9. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water to remove any remaining toothpaste.
10. Finally, spit out the excess toothpaste and water into the sink.

Level 2:
Active Voice: I have baked a chocolate cake for my friend's birthday.
Passive Voice: A chocolate cake has been baked by me for my friend's birthday.
Explanation:
Active Voice: In this sentence, the verb "baked" is used in the past participle form to indicate that the action has already been done. "I" is the subject carrying out the action of baking the cake.
Passive Voice: In the passive voice, the subject becomes the receiver of the action rather than the doer. The verb "has been baked" is used in the past participle form to indicate that the action has already been done. "By me" is added to show who performed the action. The emphasis is placed more on the cake being baked rather than the person who baked it.
