Circular diagrams
Sometimes diagrams show a cycle, where
the beginning and the ending
steps meet at some point. The organization of these types of diagrams is the
same as the linear diagrams. There is no difference between the two types
of diagrams in terms of structure, grammatical range,
or other writing
aspects.

Explanatory sample writing
1) Introduction
The diagram illustrates how water, which originates from seas and
oceans, goes through a natural cycle to produce rain and snow.
(The verb “illustrates ” has introduced the task;
two steps, the beginning,
and the ending, are mentioned based on the information from the diagram.)
2) Overview
Overall, the water from oceans and seas is evaporated to form clouds
before falling on the ground as rain and snow in different regions.
(The overview paragraph summarizes what mainly happens in the cycle
without giving details.)
3) First body paragraph
