UNIT 4
Describing a process
In Writing Task
1
you may occasionally be asked to describe a process or
other pictorial
information
such as
a cycle
or map. In order to produce a report describing a process you should take a similar
approach to
the one you used
in describing data.
You
should examine the information carefully -
which will be in pictorial form
-
and make sure you understand it. Look specifically
at
the beginning
and
the end of
the process. Then, following the same principles as outlined in previous units,
you
should provide
an
opening sentence that summarises the
overall function of the process.
1 Discuss what the following diagram is about. Then write a sentence which
summarises the process.
New technology plans to save Venice
Hydraulic arms
(to lower
centrifugal pump]
A new silent dredging boat means in future
there will be no need to drain canals for cleaning
Shuttle boat
(towed out
of city for
dumping)
• Describe the process verbally to each other. See if you agree on the facts. Then
write your description of the process in 20 minutes.
