I recommend that Rachel use simple and compound sentences to effectively communicate her message. Simple sentences are clear and easy to understand, which is important when explaining a task to a younger brother. Compound sentences can help Rachel break down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable steps.
An example of a simple sentence for Rachel's explanation could be: "First, gather all the necessary items on the kitchen counter." This sentence clearly communicates a specific step in the task.
An example of a compound sentence for Rachel's explanation could be: "Next, combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and the wet ingredients in a separate bowl, then slowly mix them together." This sentence uses coordination to combine two steps into one, making the task more manageable for her younger brother.
