This model answer has been prepared by an examiner as a very good answer.
However, please note that this is just one
answer out of many possible
approaches.
The diagram explains how bananas are produced before they are bought in
shops.
It shows several stages of production from the growing and picking stages to
when lorries deliver the bananas to supermarkets and customers
buy them
when they are going food shopping. There are seven main stages between the
bananas being planted and being bought.
First of all, the bananas are grown for between nine months and a year. The
temperature should be around 27°C and they need plenty of rain. After that,
the bananas are picked when they are still green. During the checking stage,
the good bananas are kept and the bad ones are thrown away. Next the
bananas are shipped in fridges at 13.3°C.
After this comes the resting stage when the bananas become yellow
in special
rooms. The ripe fruit is then packed into lorries and delivered to the
supermarkets. Finally, customers buy the bananas when they are shopping.
