IELTS HOPECO: Processes (Part 3) - Understanding the diagram

There are several important features that are always important to look for in the diagram. They help you understand the process more fully. In the paper making process diagram, you can see that there are a lot of arrows moving in either a horizontal or vertical direction.

    These are typical of a process and represent the direction of movement from one stage to the next, and the various changes that occur in it. They also help you to decide which part of the process is the beginning. The examiner would not be impressed if you picked the wrong part of the process to start your essay.

    In other processes, you might see that numbers are used either with or without arrows. In this case, simply describe what happens starting with number one, and move through the various stages in order. If a diagram has neither arrows nor numbers then logic (west­ern style) tells us that the flow of events is probably in a left-to-right direction. The paper making process, however, seems to have three different starting points. They all go in the same direction, and all of them go to the next stage in this process, so you can combine them into one sentence.

    Another very important part of understanding the diagram is to read every word that is in it. This helps to explain the relationship between each stage and the kind of changes that are taking place. By understanding the process more clearly, you will find it much easier to write a body in a concise but clear manner.

    However, if you think about how many millions of products are produced around the world,that gives you some idea of how many different process diagrams are possible. This means the chances of having a process that contains words you don’t understand are quite high. Nevertheless, you are still expected to be able to develop the information enough to complete the essay.
