Process diagram #9: The diagram gives information about the process of making carbonated drinks
The diagram shows the process of soft drinks production.
Overall, producing fizzy drinks is a linear fully-automated process, which includes (five) stages.
Body parapgraph 1
Process diagram #9: The diagram gives information about the process of making carbonated drinks
At the initial stage of water cleaning raw water is filtered before the additon of water softener and chemicals. The water mixture is then pumped into Electric heaters, where it is evaporated, with the steam being cooled back into its liquid condition in a special pipe. The resulting water is consequently infused with carbon dioxide in a tank, this finishing the process of carbonation and creating the basis for future drinks.

Process diagram #9: The diagram gives information about the process of making carbonated drinks
The carbonated water is subsequently poured into mixing tank, where the machine adds colouring, syrup and flavour in order to create a particular fizzy drink. Once filtered, the drinks are poured into different containers for the purposes of distribution and sales. Bottled and canned drinks are packed into cardboard boxes and are finally ready to be shipped off the supermarkets.
INTRO + OVERVIEW
The two maps below show road access to city hospital in 2007 and 2010. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The two maps represent the City Hospital area in 2007 and its redeveloped version 3 years later, in 2010.
Overall, a comparison of the two maps reveals a move away from a crossroad system of traffic regulation in favour of roundabouts which, coupled with incteased number of parking spaces and a new bus station, facilitated driving and eased the strain on the road to the hospital.
Body paragraph 1
The two maps below show road access to city hospital in 2007 and 2010. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
One change that stands out immediately is the transformation the road system
underwent. The two junctions located along the hospital road were transformed
into roundabouts, which were connected to a newly-built bus station erected
north-west of the hospital. The six bus stops which had been previously located on
both sides of the Hospital Road were demolished
Body paragraph 2
The two maps below show road access to city hospital in 2007 and 2010. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
In addition, the car park south of the City Hospital which could be used by both
employees and patients became an area available for staff use only. A separate
public parking lot, similar to the old one in size. was erected to the east of the
hospital. The access to the public parking area was ensured with the construction
of a new road exit on the right side of the Ring road, which skirts the hospital.

Map of the city in 1950
The maps reveal the appearance of a certain city in 1950 and the changes that
have occurred over time up until the present moment.
Overall, the area of the city has grown substantially, which has been accompanied
by the significant development of the infrastructure and the emergence of the
lake. All of that helped to house the population which has increased dramatically
Body paragraph 1
Map of the city in 1950
One change that stands out immediately is the growth of the city southwards,
which has increased its overall territory to accommodate a significantly larger
number of citizens (200.000 people nowadays compared to a mere 20.000 in
1950) . The part of the city south to the existing westbound main road has become
mostly a residential area, spreading both westwards and comparatively further
eastwards, with the river in this part of the city expanded to turn into a large
oblong lake, with a dam on its easternmost end. In the meantime, the bridge that
used to cross the river has remained intact and now goes across the lake to
connect a new business district to the existing one, meaning the overall
commercial area has doubled in size. Further south, closer to the city limits, a new
government building, twice as big as the old one, was erected.
Body paragraph 2
Map of the city in 1950
Infrastructure-wise, there were major changes to the network of roads and air
travel, which consisted of a single crossroads and a relatively small airport back in
1950. South to the river, a new major road appeared, with its western part
running parallel to the already existing road. However, the eastern part of the new
highway heads north-east, crossing the lake and connecting to the eastern leg of
the northern road. To add to that, the airport located to the south-east of the city
has tripled in size
Body paragraph 3
Map of the city in 1950
As for the northernmost part of the city, the residential area has expanded west,
north and east; however, it is the easternmost part that has grown the largest,
increasing fivefold in size
INTRO+ OVERVIEW
The diagram below shows how electricity is generated in a hydroelectric power station.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The diagram demonstrates the process of electricity generation taking place at a
hydroelectric power station.
Overall, the physical 5-step process of power generation is cyclical and relatively
straightforward, with slight differences to it which depend on whether the
production goes through its daytime & night-time phases
Body patagraph 1
The diagram below shgows how electricity is generated in a hydroelectric power station.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
At daytime, the water from the river which is initially stored in a high-level
reservoir behind the dam flows down into the power station via the open intake.
Consequently, the rotation of the reversible turbines operates the generator, thus
harvesting electricity, which is then transferred onto the national grid via the
power lines. Meanwhile, the water flows into the low-level reservoir, where it is
kept until night time.
Body patagraph 2
The diagram below shgows how electricity is generated in a hydroelectric power station.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
During the night, by contrast, the direction of the process is reversed. The water
from the low-level reservoir is directed into the reversible turbines, which pump it
back up into the high-level reservoir. With the intake closed, the water is stored in
the higher reservoir until the day, when the process of generating electricity starts
again
INTRO + OVERVIEW
Production of silk cloth
The diagram provides information of the stages of a silkworm life cycle and the
steps required to produce silk clothes.
Overall, the longevity of the silkworm is relatively short, with the cyclical natural
process starting all over again once new eggs are laid by adult species, whereas silk
cloths production is a linear process consisting of 6 major stages, during which silk
is derived from cocoons to undergo subsequent treatment.
Body paragraph 1
Production of silk cloth
Silkworms’ lifespan starts off with a moth laying eggs on a leaf’s surface. A week
and a half later, those eggs turn into larvae, which feed on mulberry leaves for
survival. Having grown to over a month old, those larvae weave a silk cocoon,
which takes 3 to 8 days to be fully formed. Unless the cocoon is selected for
subsequent silk production, the transformation inside one takes up to 16 days,
after which larvae turn into moths. Once grown, those moths are able to lay eggs
themselves starting the whole process anew.
