    Today I am going to tell you how to make the best sandwich in the world.

    First, you must roast the chicken and slice it into thick pieces. Then, toast your favorite
    bread (two slices).

    After that, you need to put mayonnaise and mustard on the toast and then the chicken
    slices.

    Next, you are going to add your vegetables; tomatoes, lettuce, onions, cucumbers, etc.

    Finally, put a couple slices of cheese on the sandwich and then close it with the other
    piece

    Necessity:
    You don’t need to...
    You have to...
    You must/mustn’t...
    You should/shouldn’t...

    Another example:
    Hello, I will tell you how to use a digital camera.

    First of all, push the power button to make the camera ready.

    You have to make sure the lens cover is opened.

    You mustn’t touch the lens because it will make it dirty.

    Then, you can look at the display and focus on the view or object you like. To focus, just
    press the shutter button half way and the camera will automatically focus for you.

    After that, all you need to do is to push the shutter button.


    There you have it! Finally you can take picture using the digital camera.
