IELTS Writing Task 1: How To Describe Process Diagrams

ELTS Writing Task 1 requires you to describe a process diagram or a graph in written form. The process diagrams in IELTS Writing Task 1 are usually technical and complex, but with the right approach, you can effectively communicate the information in the diagram. Here are some tips to help you describe process diagrams in IELTS Writing Task 1.

• 
  Identify the main stages of the process
  

The first step in describing process diagrams is to identify the main stages of the process. This will help you understand the flow of the process and make it easier to describe. Look for arrows and labels in the diagram to help you understand the flow of the process.

• 
  Use simple language
  

The IELTS examiners are looking for your ability to use simple and clear language to describe complex information. Use simple, concise sentences and avoid technical terms unless necessary. Use vocabulary that you are familiar with, and try to avoid long, complex sentences.

• 
  Follow the order of the process
  

When describing the process, make sure to follow the order of the process as shown in the diagram. Start by introducing the process, and then describe each stage of the process in detail. Make sure to include key information such as inputs, outputs, and any intermediate stages.

• 
  Use time phrases
  

When describing a process, it is important to include time phrases to show the progression of the process. Use phrases like “first,” “second,” “then,” and “finally” to show the order of the stages in the process.

• 
  Pay attention to the verb tense
  

In IELTS Writing Task 1, you are required to use the present simple tense to describe processes. For example, “The raw material is transported to the factory” instead of “The raw material was transported to the factory”.
