Let’s go step by step to solve both tasks.

Task 2: What do these abbreviations mean?
We’re looking at common short forms used in recipes. Let’s think about what each one stands for:
-
ml → This is short for “millilitres”. It’s a unit for measuring liquids, like water or milk.
-
g → This means “grams”. It’s used to measure weight, like flour or sugar.
-
tsp → Stands for “teaspoon”. A small spoon used for measuring spices or baking powder.
-
cm → Short for “centimetres”. Used to measure length — maybe how big a cake pan should be.
-
mins → Abbreviation for “minutes”. Tells you how long to bake or wait.
-
choc → Short for “chocolate”. Often used when listing ingredients quickly.
These are all everyday shortcuts cooks use so they don’t have to write full words every time.

Task 3: Answer the questions in full sentences.
Let’s answer each question clearly and simply.
1.
How many parts does this simple recipe have?
Most basic recipes have three main parts: the name, the list of ingredients, and the method (steps). So, this simple recipe has 3 parts.
2.
Why do we need to know the NAME of the recipe?
We need to know the name so we can tell what dish we’re making — like “Chocolate Cake” or “Pancakes” — and find it again later if we want to make it another time.
3.
What does the INGREDIENTS list tell us?
The ingredients list tells us exactly what food items we need to buy or gather before we start cooking — like flour, eggs, butter, etc.
4.
What is the purpose of the METHOD?
The method gives us step-by-step instructions on how to mix, cook, or prepare the ingredients to make the final dish.
5.
Why is it a good idea to include a picture or photo?
A picture helps us see what the finished dish should look like, so we know if we did it right — and it also makes the recipe more fun and inviting!
