IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1: PROCESS DIAGRAM WITH MODEL ANSWER

IELTS Academic Writing Task 1

IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 questions can feature anything from diagrams to
tables and graphs. To get you familiarized with these question types, let’s take
a look at a process diagram practice question from IELTS Academic Writing Task
1, with a model band 9 essay.

To see why this essay is band 9, see our Band 9 essay with scorer commentary,
and check out the official IELTS rubric for Task 1 (PDF).

This particular prompt is a process diagram. Your approach to this diagram
should be the same as your approach to any other Task 1 infographic Take a look
at the information and think carefully. What is the best way to summarize the
way the information is structured and the main points? From there, how can you
best compare the most relevant pieces of information? Finally, how should you
structure that summary and comparison? For more advice on how to approach this,
see our article on IELTS Academic Task 1 paragraph structure, as well as our
main page for IELTS sample questions and practice resources.

Try to do this prompt yourself. Then check out our band 9 model essay below the
prompt and compare it to your own work to see how you did.


MODEL IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING TASK 1 PROMPT: PROCESS DIAGRAM

The diagram below gives information about the recycling of glass and plastic
containers.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make
comparisons where relevant.




MODEL ESSAY

This flowchart shows the differences and similarities in the life cycles of
glass and plastic containers, from creation and use to recycling and
re-creation.

This diagram reveals both similarities and differences in the way that plastic
and glass goods are made, recycled, and then made anew. The processes have more
differences than similarities, but there are some more significant differences
in the earlier stages of the recycling process.

The initial collection and transport of both goods are the same. However, after
that, glass is sorted by color and may then be immediately crushed, while
plastic is sorted by quality and must be bundled before it can be shredded.

Once the glass is crushed and the plastic is shredded, the processes become more
similar again. At this point, both the glass and plastic pieces are washed, and
then melted and reshaped into new products. These final steps are nearly
identical, although the melting and reshaping of the glass must be done by two
separate machines rather than one.

ANSWER”

    The flow chart illustrates the life cycle and process of recycling glass and
    plastic bottles. Overall, the steps involved for both products are the same,
    with minute changes.
    
    Firstly, the new product usage and collection of plastic and glass bottles
    take 3–8 weeks. Then, transporting them to recycling centres takes about
    5–10 days. Next, they are sorted in recycling centres. Glass is sorted by
    colour, while plastic bottles are sorted by thickness and quality. After
    this, glass is crushed in a crusher, while plastic recycling involves an
    additional step, i.e., bundling, and then shredding is done. All the pieces
    are then washed in a washer. Finally, melting and reshaping are done.
    However, for glass, it is done by two separate machines, while it is done by
    the same machine for plastic. At the end, the product is ready to be used
    commercially and recycled again. In this way, making things economical and
    environmentally friendly.
