I Basic information about process
• About the process
1 Without figurative information
2 Not as common as charts and graphs
3 Easier to answer
• Two main types:
1 Man-made process: how coffee, tea, beer or wine are made; how cement or
bricks are produced
Example: The diagram below shows how tomato ketchup is made
Trang 6ETRAIN ENGLISH CENTER [ETRAIN.EDU.VN] 5
2 Natural process: the life cycle of a butterfly or frog; the water cycle or how cows produce milk
Example: The picture below shows the cycle of the frog
• Present simple
• Voice:
1 Man-made process: Passive voice
2 Natural process: Active voice

Initially, ripe tomatoes are picked manually and put in a basket before being sorted to
separate high-quality from bad ones Then, the chosen tomatoes are dispatched to factories where they are skinned and its stalk and seeds are eliminated The remaining part is placed into a container for crushing, and then some spices such as sugar, vinegar and salt are added to the tomato liquid The next two stages are boiling the container and leaving it for two hours
Once the bottles have been filled out, they are then labeled and sent to a quality controller, where its quality is analyzed Tomato ketchup is packaged into boxes which are after that loaded into lorries and brought to supermarket, and finally tomato ketchup

Sample essay:
The flow chart illustrates the development of a frog
It is clear that there are six distinct stages in this life cycle, from egg to mature frog
Initially, the eggs, which are called frogspawn, float on the surface of the pond The step after is the emergence of the small tadpole, which has a small body and a long tail Gradually, the tadpole develops and its body enlarges while the tail becomes longer
At this point in the cycle, the legs appear in order to prepare the tadpole for its future
life on land and the tadpole is nourished by food stored in its tail
Subsequently, two front legs appear and then the tadpole has a wider mouth, a reduced tail and bigger legs At this time, it continues to live in the pond Overtime, the tadpole starts to change into a young frog and moves onto land As a result of being on land, it breathes air and it loses its tail Eventually, the young frog becomes mature The final stage of the cycle is when the frog finds a mate so as to produce eggs Having completed all these steps, the cycle life begins again
(196 words)
• Float (verb): to move slowly on water or in the air
• Enlarge (verb): to make something bigger; to become bigger

Exercise 2- Sample answer:
The diagram shows the process in which orange juice is produced
Overall, there are two different ways to produce orange juice, including eighteen steps
in total The process starts at delivering fresh oranges and ends at selling finished orange juice bottles
Firstly, fresh oranges are picked and delivered by truck to factories where they are washed and squeezed so as to extract juice The waste solid becomes food for animals while the juice is processed in two different ways The simpler one is that fresh juice
is pasteurized and packaged before being dispatched to shops
The second way is to produce concentrate juice by shipping this juice in a refrigerator truck to another factory for water to evaporate The resulting product is then canned and transported to a warehouse At the final stage, this concentrate juice is mixed with water in a factory and then poured into bottles, ready for sale

Exercise 3- Sample answer:
The figure illustrates the process used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to forecast the weather
There are four stages in the process, beginning with the collection of information
about the weather This information is then analysed, prepared for presentation, and
finally broadcast to the public
Looking at the first and second stages of the process, there are three ways of
collecting weather data and three ways of analysing it Firstly, incoming information
can be received by satellite and presented for analysis as a satellite photo The same data can also be passed to a radar station and presented on a radar screen or synoptic chart Secondly, incoming information may be collected directly by radar and
analysed on a radar screen or synoptic chart Finally, drifting buoys also receive data which can be shown on a synoptic chart
At the third stage of the process, the weather broadcast is prepared on computers Finally, it is delivered to the public on television, on the radio, or as a recorded
telephone announcement
(IELTS Simon, 170 words)
• Analyse (verb): to examine the nature or structure of something, especially by separating it into its parts, in order to understand or explain it
• Present (verb): to give, provide, or make something known
• Deliver (verb): to take goods, letters, parcels, ect To people’s houses or places

Exercise 4- Sample answer:
The diagram illustrates the stages in the life of the salmon, from birth to maturity
It is clear that there are six main stages as the salmon develop from egg to mature adult We can also see that salmon spend time in three distinct locations during the cycle, moving from river to estuary to ocean and then back upstream
Salmon begin their lives in rivers where the adult fish lay and incubate their eggs After emerging from eggs, the young salmon spend the next stage of their lives being reared in freshwater areas Then, at some point in their development, the fish swim downstream to river estuaries where rearing continues
Following the estuary rearing period, the maturing salmon migrate to the ocean, where they eventually become fully grown adults Finally, the adult fish travel back upstream to spawning areas of rivers; here they reproduce and lay their eggs, and the
life cycle begins anew
(IELTS Simon, 154 words, band 9)
• Incubate (verb): to keep cells, bacteria, etc at a suitable temperature so that
they develop
• Emerge (verb): to start to exist; to appear or become known
• Migrate (verb): to move from one part of the world to another according to
the season
• Reproduce (verb): to produce something again; to make something happen
again in the same way
