Contoh Soal Understanding Manuals and Recipes - Have you ever made a cake? Or repair a toy? If your brother asks you to fix his toy -or your mom asks you to make a birthday cake- but you do not know how to, what would you do then?
Some of you might possibly just turn them down, but some others will find some ways to be a help. They would probably look for the manual instruction on fixing toys or some recipes of making birthday cake on the internet and then try them out.
