Reading: Flow-chart completion 
Tip:
 To work out the order in which activities happen, try to identify particular words in 
the text that show this. 
Example:
Here is part of a text about the process of producing sugar. In this example, answers 
should be no more than one word and/or a number. 
Raw sugar comes from sugar cane. When the cane is harvested, it first goes to mills, 
usually in the same region, and raw sugar is extracted from it. This is then sent in bulk 
to refineries, which are often located in heavy sugar-consuming countries. There are 
several stages in the refining process, starting with affination, which includes the 
removal of various impurities by using a centrifuge. Eventually, the recovery stage is 
reached, which leaves white sugar and a sweet by-product which is often used as 
cattle feed. 
Question:
Complete the flow chart below.
