Infinitives of purpose
 A to-infinitive can be used to express purpose.
Mind that the infinitive of purpose can only be used if the doer of the action expressed
by the infinitive is the same as the subject of the main clause.
- I'm calling to place an order for delivery.
- To pass this test, you need to achieve a score of 60% or more.
 In order and so as can be used before a to-infinitive for emphasis in more
formal styles.
- He took a book with him in order to have something to read on the train.
- The parties started negotiations so as to reach an agreement as soon as
possible.
- In order to attract a wider audience, we need to rethink our marketing
strategy.
 The negative is always in order not + to-infinitive or so as not + to-infinitive:
- He tiptoed through the hall so as not to be heard.
- In order not to lose time, we must act at once.

Describing a process

A process is a series of events, one taking place after the other. Therefore, to connect
your stages, you should use ‘time connectors’.
The following is an example of describing the process of manufacturing bricks.
To begin/ Firstly, the clay used to make the bricks is dug up from the ground by a
large digger. This clay is then placed onto a metal grid, which is used to break up
the clay into smaller pieces. A roller assists in this process.
Next, sand and water are added to the clay, and this mixture is turned into bricks
by either placing it into a mould or using a wire cutter. Next, these bricks are
placed in an oven to dry for 24 – 48 hours.
After that, the bricks go through a heating and cooling process. They are heated in
a kiln at a moderate and then a high temperature (ranging from 200c to 1300c),
followed by a cooling process in a chamber for 2 – 3 days. Finally, the bricks are
packed and delivered to their destinations.
These are some common process connectors:

To begin/ Firstly….
Then/ Following this……
Next…
After that……
Finally…….

Exercise 6.7. Fill in the connectors describing the process of making mint tea.
(1)____________, some tea is put in a pot,
(2)____________, the water is boiled,
(3)____________, the mint and the tea are rinsed in hot water,
(4)____________,the sugar is added,
(5)____________,the pot is filled with boiling water

In this assignment, you have to choose the dish you like and write how you make it.
In your writing, you should
