video script:  
E hoko ana ähau i te hamupeka me te rïwai parai hei kai mäku. Ka körero au ki te kaimahi, ä, ka patopato ia i ngä kai e hiahia ana ähau ki te rorohiko. Ka whakaaturia taku tono ki tëtahi mata rorohiko i te kïhini, kia möhio ai te tangata he aha ngä kai e hokona ana.

Ka raua atu ngä wähanga e rua o te röhi paräoa ki te täina, kia mahana ai. Ka whakareri ia i te pepa täkai. Ka tuhia te momo hamupeka ki te pepa täkai. Kia mahana te röhi paräoa, kätahi ka meatia te mïti ki runga i wähanga tuatahi, ka raua ai ki te ngaruiti.
Ka whakatakotoria te rëtihi me te tömato ki runga i te wähanga tuarua o te röhi paräoa. Ka oti te mïti te whakamahana, ka taupokina ki te kïnaki me te riki. Kätahi ka täkaitia taku hamupeka, ka tukuna ki te ara auheke. Ka tïkina atu e te wahine te hamupeka mai i te ara auheke, a, ka waihotia ki taku paepae. Ka tunua e te wahine aku rïwai parai, ka whakatahea te hinu, ä, ka kokoa ki roto i te pouaka.

Ka pai, kua reri aku kai inäianei.

Today I’m buying a burger and fries for my lunch. The girl who takes my order pushes buttons on a computer to show what kind of burger I’m ordering. The computer shows what I ordered on a TV screen in the kitchen so the man knows what to cook.

The man gets the top and bottom halves of the bun and puts them into a toaster to warm them up. When the bun is warming up, he gets a piece of wrapping paper ready. He writes what kind of burger it is on the wrapping paper. When the bun comes out of the warmer, a meat pattie is put on one half of the bun and then it’s put into a microwave. When it’s heating in the microwave, the man puts some lettuce and tomato on the other half of the bun. When the meat pattie is heated, he puts some sauce and onion on it. He wraps my burger into the piece of paper then he puts the burger on the shoot. The girl comes and collects the burger from the shoot and puts it on my tray. Next, the girl cooks some fries, drains the fat and scoops some into a box.

Now my lunch of burger and fries is ready to eat.
Kätahi:
1. Tuhia tëtahi hoahoa pai hei whakaatu i NGÄ MAHI.
2. Tuhia he kupu körero hei whakamärama i ngä mahi.
3. Tuhia he pere ki tö hoahoa hei whakaatu i te RAUPAPATANGA o ngä mea katoa ka mahia.		 Then:
1. Draw an interesting diagram which shows WHAT is done.
2. Write words to help explain what is done.
3. On your diagram, draw arrows to show the ORDER in which everything is done.

Commentary:
Most students scored relatively low on this task because they omitted most of the details of the process. A further factor in low performance was that half of the students did not indicate the order of the steps in the process.
