TASK 1
Diagram and flow charts
In Part 1 of the IELTS Writing test
you might be asked to describe a
process. IELTS Task 1 process
questions are not as common as
charts or graphs, but they do come
up occasionally. They are much
easier to answer than the other
Task 1 questions, but many people
do not prepare for them at all. This
is a big risk to take because it does
not take long to familiarise yourself
with these questions and learn how
 the different types of process
question
 a 5 step plan for answering any
process question
 how to write an introduction
 how to pick out the main features
and write an overview
 how to write about each stage in
detail
Different Types of Process
Question
There are generally two different
types of process question: natural
and man-made. Natural processes
include things like the life cycle of
a butterfly or frog, the water cycle
or how cows produce milk. Below
is the process is photosynthesis:
1. Where does the process start and where
does it end?
2. How many stages are there?
3. Is it a man-made process or natural
process?
4. Is it a cyclical (in a circle) or linear (one
start point and one end point) process?
5. Are there any materials that need to be
added to the process?
6. What is produced?
7. What does each stage of the process
Question 1: The diagram below shows the process
of photosynthesis.
Paraphrased: The illustration demonstrates how
plants produce energy from sunlight.
Question 2: The diagram below shows how

electricity is produced in a nuclear power station.
Paraphrased: The illustration below shows the
process of how nuclear power plants make
electricity.
Overview of Process
1.Is it a man-made or natural
process?
2.How many stages are there?
3.What is produced?
4.Where does it start and where
does it end?
5.Is it cyclical or linear?
6.Are any materials added?
Question 1: The diagram below shows the process of photosynthesis.
1.Is it a man-made or natural

process? Natural
2.How many stages are there? Five
3.What is produced? Sugar, oxygen and
starch.
4.Where does it start and where does it
end? Starts with sun and end with
production sugar, oxygen and starch.
5.Is it cyclical or linear? Linear.
We can then use this information to make two
sentences:
Photosynthesis is a natural linear

process that starts with sunshine
and carbon dioxide being absorbed
and ends with the production of
sugar, oxygen and starch. There are
five main stages to this process and
it allows plants to convert light
energy to chemical energy in the
form of sugar.
Question 2: The diagram below shows how
