Hi. I have this passage where i'm suppose to decode it. And the answer is something got to do with English. I do not know the answer so i hope everyone here will help me out.

Read the passage below and find out what the passage is about. When figuring out the passage, please take into consideration the different kind of knowledge you bring into the decoding process.

The procedure is actually quite simple. First you arrange things into different groups, of course one pile may be sufficient depending on how much there is to do. If you have to go somewhere else due to lack of facilities that is the next step, otherwise you are pretty well set. It is important not to overdo things. That is, it is better to do too few things at once than too many. In the short run this may not seem important but complications can easily arise. A mistake can be expensive as well. At first the whole procedure will seem complicated. Soon however, it will become just another facet of life. It is difficult to foresee any end to the necessity for this task in the immediate future, but then one can never tell. After the procedure is completed one arranges the materials into different groups again. Then they can be put into their appropriate places, eventually they will be used once more and the whole cycle will then have to be repeated. However, that is a part of life.

My guess is that it is washing clothes/doing laundry?

You have to keep doing it and you sort the clothes before you wash them, process them, then sort them out again to strore them in different places. After they've been washed, you wear them once more, then you have to start all over with the laundry again.

Like I said, doing the laundry fits extremely well.

Perhaps your teacher wasn't being too careful with his/her terminology.  Or perhaps your teacher is simply looking for the word 'laundry'. Wink [;)]
