Section Assignment 1.3B: Write for the Web

Option A: Recipe:
This is my recipe for crepes, which I think is really delicious. Get a blender and put in three eggs. Then pour in a cup of milk and half a cup of water. Then add two tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of sugar, and half a teaspoon of salt. Then put one cup of flour into the blender. Put on the lid and blend it for thirty seconds. This makes the batter that then must be put in the refrigerator for at least one hour. After one hour take the batter out of the refrigerator. You’re now ready to cook the crepes. To do this take a large, non-stick frying pan and heat it up on medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add approximately ¼ cup of batter to the pan. (The amount of batter to add will depend on the size of the pan.) Once the batter is in the pan, quickly lift it up and tilt it around to spread the batter over the entire surface in a thin layer. Set the pan back on the element to cook one side of the crepe. After two to three minutes, bubbles will form on the surface of the crepe and it will appear slightly dull. This means one side of the crepe is done. Flip the crepe over to cook the other side. The second side of the crepe is cooked when it is golden brown. This usually takes about one to two minutes. Now the crepe is completely cooked. Cook the rest of the crepes the same way. This recipe makes approximately twelve crepes. 

Option B: How-to Instructions:

Everyone who drives should know how to change a flat tire. You’ll know you have a flat if you
hear a loud bang followed by a thumping noise that won’t go away. Also, your car’s steering may veer to one side. If you get a flat, you’ll need to make use of the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench you always have with you in your car. 

If you have a flat, the first thing you’ll need to do is pull the car off the road. Look for firm, level ground and make sure the spot has enough room for you to change the tire without being in the way of traffic. Once you’ve pulled off, set your parking brake and put on your hazard lights to warn other drivers. Then remove the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench from your car. Squat down in front of the flat tire and remove the hubcap from the wheel with the flat tire. Before jacking up the car, you’ll need to loosen the lug nuts, but not remove them. Use the lug wrench and turn each lug nut counterclockwise until it loosens, but do not take it off just yet. Loosen all the lug nuts on that are on the wheel. Then place the jack under the car frame. Raise the jack until it just touches the bottom of the car. Make sure the jack is in the correct position and jack up the car until the tire is slightly off the ground. Complete loosening the lug nuts and remove them. Be sure to put each lug nut in a safe place as you’ll soon need them. Now grasp the wheel with both hands, one on each side, and pull it straight off. Set it aside as you’ll need to get the flat repaired or replaced later. Now pick up the spare tire with the air valve on the tire facing out from the car towards you. Line the holes in the centre with the bolt shafts that they will fit over and slide the spare tire over the shafts until it is in place. The spare tire is now on and all you need to do is put the lug nuts back on. When doing this, be sure to first put the lug nuts on by hand. Do not tighten them with the lug wrench with the wheel off the ground as you’ll just spin the wheel. Lower the jack returning the car to the ground and then use the lug wrench to completely tighten the lug nuts. 

You’re almost done now. All there’s left to do is install the hub cap back onto the wheel and place the jack, lug wrench and flat tire where they belong in the car. Be sure to get that flat tire repaired or replaced soon in case you get another flat! Also, remember to never go under a car supported only by a jack.
