The diagram shows the stages in the process of making chocolate.
Chocolate comes from the cacao tree, which is grown in parts of South America, Africa and Indonesia. The tree produces large red pods, which contain white cocoa beans. Firstly, when the pods are ripe, they are harvested, the beans are removed and they are fermented for several days in large wooden boxes. During the fermenting process, the beans turn brown.
Next, the brown beans are spread in the sun to dry. They are then put in large sacks and transported by train or lorry. After this, the beans are taken to a chocolate factory where they are roasted in an oven at temperatures of between 250 and 350 degree Celsius.
After being roasted, the beans are crushed and the outer shell is removed. This part is not needed for making chocolate. Finally, the inner part of the bean is pressed and liquid chocolate is produced.
2019年雅思写作小作文流程图解析及范文：废纸回收 The chart below shows the process of waste paper recycling. 范文： The flow chart shows how waste paper is recycled. It is clear that there are six distinct stages in this process, from the initial collection of waste paper to the eventual production of usable paper. At the first stage in the paper recycling process, waste paper is collected either from paper banks, where members of the public leave their used paper, or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and separated according to its grade, with any paper that is not suitable for recycling being removed. Next, the graded paper is transported to a paper mill. Stages four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is cleaned and pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out. Following this, all remnants of ink and glue are removed from the paper at the de-inking stage. Finally, the pulp can be processed in a paper making machine, which makes the end product： usable paper. (160 words, band 9)
雅思流程图八大范文 1.《蚕丝制作》 Sample： As is displayed in the first diagram, the life cycle of the silkworm can be categorized into 4 main stages. First, the life of the silkworm starts from eggs propagated by the moth, and it takes 10 days for each egg to become a silkworm larva that feeds on mulberry leaves. Silkworm larva continues to grow in 4 to 6 weeks, then wrapping itself with silk thread to construct a cocoon in the next 3 to 8 weeks. A moth can be produced from the cocoon in 16 days. The life cycle begins again from then on. Focusing on the second diagram, it illustrates the 5 main steps of the procedure of producing silk cloth. Well generated cocoons will be selected firstly. Before the silk thread can be unwound, cocoons have to be boiled in hot water. One cocoon can produce approximately 300 to 900 metres of silk thread. The unwound thread will be dyed afterwards to be weaved into silk cloth. Overall, the two diagrams reveal the stage of producing cocoons in the life cycle of the silkworm can be used to make silk cloth through 5 simple steps. Cambridge IELTS 6 Version: The first diagram shows that there are four main stages in the life of the silk worm. First of all, eggs are produced by the moth and it takes ten days for each egg to become a silkworm larva that feeds on mulberry leaves. This stage lasts for up to six weeks until the larva produces a cocoon of silk thread around itself. After a period of about three weeks, the adult moths eventually emerge from these cocoons and the life cycle begins again. The cocoons are the raw material used for the production of silk cloth. Once selected, they are boiled in water and the threads can be separated in the unwinding stage. Each thread is between 300 and 900 metres long, which

雅思写作流程图满分写法 朗阁海外考试研究中心丁仡然 很多同学常常对雅思小作文流程图的写法感到困扰，虽然市场上有很多关于雅思流程图指导的书，但是笔者想要强调的是我们还是要用好剑桥1-10这十本最官方的书，仔细研究其中的考官范文就不难发现，其实流程图只是一只纸老虎，没有同学们想象的那么可怕。本文中，朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家就为各位考生分析一篇剑桥10考官所写的最新流程图满分范文，希望借这篇文章对大家的雅思小作文有一定的帮助和提升！ 我们来看一下小作文题目（剑桥雅思10, Test 4, P101） The diagrams below show the life cycle of a species of large fish called the salmon. 该图表描述了某一种大型鱼（三文鱼）的生命循环过程。 解题步骤： 在写流程图的时候，大家首先要把题干看三遍，然后一定要花时间分析一下这幅图，一定要把图中每个步骤都看懂，然后深入理解每一步骤要表现的内容是什么。 注意： 1. 图中所有的信息点都要讲到，不然会被重点扣分； 2. 图中的信息千万不能写偏，不能写出和图中描述不符合的信息； 3. 不要在小作文里面写自己的观点，这是很大的忌讳之处； 4. 流程图也要写overview, 这点非常重要！ 这篇文章总体分为三段： 第一段写了最上面的那个图：也就是三文鱼在上游时候最初的形态。 第二段写了中间和下面那个图：也就是三文鱼在下游和游到大海里，以及最后游回到出生地的过程。 第三段：整篇文章总体的overview和三幅图之间的比较和差异。
考官范文分析： 在第一段里面考官在一开始就写到：salmon begin life as eggs on a pebbly riverbed, hidden among reeds in the slow-moving upper reaches of a river. 大家注意考官写的这句话是一种9分的流程图表达方式：就是用一句话把图中的好几个信息点都串进去，我们可以看到，这句话里面：图中有的salmon eggs, small stones, upper river slow moving都写进去了，所以从这句话中考生们可以学习一种技能，就是尽量一句话中多串几个图中的信息点。接下来考官写到：the eggs hatch into fry, 说明我们平时要多积累一些流程图常用的表达机械工艺或者动物生命循环的常用单词。接下来一个句子考官写了：these baby salmons will live in the lower, faster-flowing waters of their river. 这里大家要注意考官用baby salmon和waters对fry和river进行了替换。同义词替换永远是考官最喜欢的东西。最后考官没有忘记要将这条鱼在长到fry的尺寸是3-8公分的长度写出来，其中...in length是很好的对物品长度的表达，请同学们牢记。 在写第二段的时候考官用了一个很好的状语从句：by the time salmon reach 12-15 centi meters, they are termed ‘smolt’, and at this time they migrate further down into the open sea. 大家要注意，这种时间状语从句（“在到达...的时候，发生了一件...事情”）在写流程图的时候非常实用。其中几个关键的表达be termed（“被命名为...”），可以学习一下。还有就是, and连接句子的写法，都是考官惯用的手法。考生们还要注意，考官用migrate further down into, 写出了上游，下游和海洋之间的层层推进，体现了对这幅图非常到位的理解。 然后考官继续写到：they then begin swimming back to their birthplace, where they will lay their eggs, and the cycle starts anew. 这个句子考官用了一个很好的单词birthplace出生地，然后后面连了一个定语从句，最后考官还写了一句它们的生命循环又开始了。注意这是循环流程图一定要写的一个句子，表达了一个东西的结束是另一个过程的开始。 最后一段overview: 考官先是写出了三个大图的总体特点和三个大图总体的不同之处。The salmon passes through three distinct physical stages as it grows to maturity. Each of these stages takes place in a very different aquatic location. 这样写给人的感觉是先把三个
一 ?The diagrams below show the stages and equipment used in the cement-making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for building purposes. ?Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparsons where releant. ?The first diagram indicates the stages and equipment in the process of making cement, and the second one illustrates how cement and other materials are mixed to produce concrete for building purposes. ?Cement production involves the following steps. The first step is to put limestone and clay on two different conveyors. Then, these two types of materials are pressed into the crusher which breaks them into
powder. After that, the powder is poured into a mixer, and then mixtures are transmitted into a rotating heater which works with heat. The following step is that a band carrier leads the heated powder to a grinder where the cement comes out. Finally, cement is packed into bags,and the process is finished. ?Concrete production is much more simple. Four different kinds of materials are needed in different proportion. Gravel accounts for the largest part, at 50%, followed by sand, which is 25%. Cement and water contributes 15% and 10% respectively. The four materials are then mixed and poured into a concrete mixer and after a period of whirling, concrete is produced. ?In conclusion, making cement has more complex process than making concrete though concrete needs more materials than cement. 二 ?The diagrams below show the life cycle of the silkworm and the stages in the production of silk cloth. ?Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
雅思写作流程图解析 朗阁海外考试研究中心刘雅敏 相比较其它小作文题型，雅思写作中的流程图对于很多考生来说都会感觉束手无策，尤其 是拿到题目时无从下手。这主要是由流程图的考察重点决定的。不同于图表题型在表达方 式上的固定，流程图更加能够考察考生“真正的”词汇量。虽然流程图出题频率不算高（去 年48场A类考试中，流程图出现6次），且普遍集中在工业生产过程和自然现象这两类，但题材差距很大，2014年的6场考试以及今年出现的2次流程图的具体题材如下： 由于题材不同，所以每次考试的词汇要求都不同，这无疑增加了考生的备考难度。 另外，一般情况下流程图都是以图片而非数字形式出现，所以有不少刚接触流程图的同学 认为它更接近大作文的语言风格。其实不然，流程图的文章风格偏客观描述，而且与其它 小作文题型一样，流程图还有一个特点——主要扩展顺序为时间顺序，这一点不同于大作 文主要以逻辑顺序为扩展顺序。无论大作文还是小作文，逻辑性是一切文章的灵魂，而要 想使流程图的写作逻辑严密，就要按照时间顺序展开，并加入恰当的时间顺序连接词。 除了小作文的共性外，流程图又有自身在表达方式上的特殊要求。具体而言，要注意两点：动词的使用和三大句型的运用。 一、动词的使用
考生面临的比较普遍的问题就是：图里面的词汇可能认识的只有一半，碰到这种情况，考 生应尽量猜，运用常识和看图猜词意。图里面可能会给出一定数量的动词，也可能没有给出。具体而言，一般会出现三种情况： 1. 图详细＋注解详细 流程图中出现过的词汇可以使用一次，第二次出现的时候尽量换成其同义词甚至可以是近 义词。但即使猜出了大概含义，找出同义替换仍然比较困难。对此，有两种解决方案： 1). “名词动用”，如果原图给出了某个词的名词形式，在你的作文中可以将其转变成该词 的动词形式。同理，形容词可以换成副词（通常在该形容词后加-ly），副词变成形容词。 比如剑桥真题6 Test 3的范文中：原图第二个步骤中的“food”, 作者改成了动词“feed”。 2). 根据“下义词”，找出其“上义词”，比如说“furnace”（熔炉）在“玻璃瓶的回收”之类的 流程图中都会出现，我们称之为“下义词”（即含义较具体），而其“上义词”（即概括性较 强的表达）可以是“a container”。 2. 图详细＋注解简略 这种情况要求考生把图片中出现的、而注解中表述比较简略而省掉的信息运用考生会的表 达方式补充出来，尤其注意动词的使用。比如：“玻璃瓶的回收”这一流程中有个步骤是把 碎玻璃倒进熔炉里面将其融化，图片画得较详细：一个椭圆形的鼎样容器，上面画的温度 计显示融化玻璃的具体温度数值，燃料是用木炭还是煤炭还是天然气……但下面的注解可 能只有三个单词：the melting process。显然，我们不可能只用这三个单词描述这一步骤，原因很简单，即考生都熟悉的一个悲剧——图描述完了，字数没写够！遇到这种情况，建议考生用自己的话把图表信息补充完整。 3. 图简略＋注解更简略 同样还是以“玻璃瓶的回收”流程为例，其中一个步骤是玻璃瓶被重塑成新瓶子、并注入相 应液体产品后，被卡车送到超市，消费者购买并使用。该步骤在原图中只出现了两个名词——“supermarket”和“customers”。实战中有相当数量的考生只用一句话说完了这个步骤（比如：These bottles are transported by trucks to supermarkets, and then they would be bought by consumers.）。这种写法与上面的写法后果是一样的——
流程图1.首段常用句子 The following diagram shows the structure of……The picture illustrates…… The whole procedure can be divided into…stages. It mainly consists of…… It works as follows. It always involves following steps. 2.描述流程/过程的常用过渡性词语 最后再总结一下流程图的特点： 特点一：现在时 特点二：定语从句 特点三：被动语态 特点四：顺序词 特点五：适当添加 特点六：无总结
题目1：玻璃的回收流程【单图】
范文1： This diagram illustrates the recycling process of glass bottles. The whole process is a cycle which can be divided into three main stages. In the first stage, used bottles are collected at a recycling point ready to be transported by a truck. The second stage starts in a cleaning plant, where these recycled bottles are sorted by color into green, brown and clear ones and washed by high-pressurized water. When the cleaning is done, the bottles are conveyed to a glass factory where they are cut into glass pieces which are then poured into a furnace. After being heated in the furnace, the broken glasses are melted into liquid, which flows into a glass mold. Here glass liquid from other sources is added and the molding process takes place. In the final stage, new, empty bottles are filled with liquid, then packed and dispatched to the supermarket ready to be picked by consumers. At this point, a cycle has been completed and a new cycle will begin.
流程图 流程图6点参考要领： 1. 找到流程图的过程，起点，终点。 2. 找到图上标出的已知动作，如果出现生词，尽量猜测。无词，用自己的语言。 3. 按照步骤，分段描述，千万不能省略任何一步。 4. 切记!加入流畅合理的表示顺序的关联词。 5. 句型以主动为主，搭配被动，以及主语从句(例如：It can be seen from the graph that…)。 6. 时态要使用一般现在时。 例文分析1： The diagram shows the stages in the process of making chocolate.(所有的小作文第一句话都要用一般现在时。流程图必备三个词：process整个过程;stage阶段;step步骤)
Chocolate comes from the cacao tree, which is grown in parts of South America, Africa and Indonesia.(开头不能一上来就直接介绍cacao tree,而是通过主题词chocolate 引出，否则显得太唐突)【流程图特点之一：介绍过程要使用一般现在时】【流程图特点之二：大量使用定语从句，将有关联的两句话连接。】【流程图特点之三：大量使用被动语态】The tree produces large red pods which contain white cocoa beans.【流程图特点之四：使用一些表示顺序的连接词】when the pods are ripe, they are harvested, the beans are removed and they are fermented for several days in large wooden boxes.(三个句子的并列：“句子A,句子B and 句子C”。)During the fermenting process, the beans turn brown.【流程图特点之五：要适当地添加个别图中没有交代但能从图片中直接读出来的一些内容，否则可能达不到字数要求。但是一定要把握尺度，千万不要加上自己的主观观点，否则会扣分】 Next, the brown beans are spread in the sun to dry. They are then put in large sacks and transported by train or lorry. After this, the beans are taken to a chocolate factory where they are roasted in an oven at temperatures of between 250 and 350 degree Celsius. After being roasted, the beans are crushed and the outer shell is removed. This part is not needed for making chocolate. Finally, the inner part of the bean is pressed and liquid chocolate is produced.【流程图特点之六：一般不需要写总结】 例文分析2：

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown. Sample Answer:
The given illustration presents information on the Hawaiian Island Chain center of the Pacific Ocean. As is observed from the diagram, the Hawaiian island chain directly affects the Pacific tectonic plate and because of it this plate shifts around 7-9 centimeter per year. As is observed from the graph, below the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian island chain stands as several volcanos which are almost 80 million years old. These volcanos stand over the Pacific plate and the eruptions of these volcanos’ created a new volcano just over the Magna spume. The Pacific plate is situated on solid dense rock and because of the new volcano development; the hot spot spume remained static. The eruption process of the volcano’s starts from as deep as 2800 km and that has spitted the solid rock layer. Major islands within 100 km of this area are Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai and because of the eruption and sliding of the plates, the center of the Pacific Ocean is ever changing.

雅思写作地图题深度解析（上） 朗阁海外考试研究中心姜芮 在雅思小作文中，流程图和地图题无疑对于广大考生来说都有不小的威胁，很多考生在遇到此类型的题目时，会变得手足无措，不知道应该从何写起。许多考生抱着侥幸的心里，往往不重视此类小众题目的备考，结果作文分数受到了很大的影响。在本系列文章中，朗阁海外考试研究中心写作组的专家将着重对雅思写作地图题做一个深度解析。 我们用两个经典的地图题真题为例，在近两年出现的数次地图题中，多数都是属于这类“三格地图”。 WRITING TASK 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The diagram below shows the development of the village of Kelsby between 1780 and 2000. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. 在审题过程中我们需要特别注意以下几点： 1. 时态：关注时态是小作文能否取得高分的关键，同样对于地图题，我们也应该很好地注意时态，本文的时间是明确的，都是过去的时间，因此全文应当使用一般过去时。
2. 顺序：该图属于动态的地图题，这种类型的地图题一律按照时间顺序来写。在这道题中，也就是按照图的顺序依次来写，不要把元素拆开。如果是静态的地图题（即不涉及时间变化的题型），则按照空间顺序来写。在描述单幅地图时，我们可以采取上北下南的顺序描述，或者从左到右的顺序也可以，但值得注意的是，如果地图上有明显的方向标示，那就要根据这个标示来描述。 下面我们一起来分析文章的写作。 第一段：Introduction 引言段就是把题目进行改写。原文中的diagram，可以替换成figure，原文中的shows，可以改为illustrate, demonstrate, reveal, indicate等词。宾语development，可以替换成transformations，也可以改为宾语从句how the village of Kelsby developed/ changed. 题目中给出的时间比较模糊，可以具体化为in 1780, 1860 and 2000. 【例文】The three maps illustrate how the village of Kelsby changed in 1780, 1860 and 2000. 第二段：描述1780年的地图 1780年的情况只涉及到静态的数据，因此只需要用存在句即可表达，不涉及任何变化的单词。但是，考生非常容易把这些元素全部用there be这个句型来表达，从而导致句式单一。表示存在的句型除了there be之外，还有非常简单的have句型，还有lie/ be located/ be situated这样的结构。另外还有一种倒装句型，比如“桌子上面有一本书”，可以翻译为on the desk is a book.
【9分作文盛宴】考官华丽雅思小作文详解6：地图题 Simon是英国曼彻斯特的前雅思考官，由于创办雅思考试学习网站而在全世界的考生中越来越有名气。其网站上提供大量关于复习雅思的技巧以及颠覆性的建议，甚至还有不少Simon本人亲笔写的满分作文。这些满分作文由于出自英国考官之手，非常地道，言简意赅，和中国考生惯用的千篇一律的模板作文相比，着实让人眼前一亮。点课台的Phoebe老师深感有义务要让孩子们接触到真正可以提分的好作文，所以以后会频繁地帮大家整理并总结这些满分作文的精华，相信大家都可以扔掉模板，写出高分作文! 今天要分析的题目是地图——Maps。 有的学生说，地图题型相对不常见，所以备考可以忽略。针对这种想法，Simon是这样说的：While it’s true that graphs and charts are the most common types of question, I think it would be very unwise not to prepare for diagrams and maps too. What happens if you get one of these questions in your test and you haven’t prepared for it? 虽然不常见，但是如果平时不做任何准备，万一考到后果不堪设想。其实地图题并没有大家想象地那么难，只要花时间仔细研究一下Simon的范文，大家都能写出一篇好作文。 请看今天的题目，就是下面这个地图： 写作文之前，要先Plan your structure，Simon建议地图题依然沿用4段式： 1. Introduction: what does the chart show? 2. Overview / summary: what are the most noticeable features? 3. Specific details: try to write 2 paragraphs. 接下来说地图题最难的地方——如何准确读出图中所给信息，我们就先来分析一下，从这个地图上我们可写的信息有哪些，首先地图上为数不多的单词或数字不可遗漏，上方那句是说这张图展现了一个叫做Chorleywood的村庄在1868年到1994年之间的发展情况。然后很清楚地能看出，在四个不同的时期，它的交通设施有明显的改善。居民都住在各种路的旁边。这些只是大概的Overview,足够写出前两段了，那还有哪些具体的细节，能够写进第三、四段中呢?大家自己再仔细看地图，从中找中可写的Details。 接下来贴出完整满分范文，大家读的时候看一下Simon按照什么order、挑出哪些细节来描述的：
Flow chart = process diagram 一、流程图的特点 1. 描绘某一事物的发展或运作过程 2. 遵循某种顺序 3. 图中会标出原材料的名称和步骤的细节 4. 一般会出现一些专业生词 5. 流程最终要达成某种目的或结果 二、流程图的写作步骤 1. 读题目，确定描述什么？目的或结果？ 2. 找信息，定步骤 所有的信息点，包括图中所有有文字的地方，或所有表示动作或变化的图示（所有的时间、大小、距离等
数字信息） 1.定框架，写文章 第一段：介绍流程图是做什么的。第二段：详细介绍原料与准备、每一步的变化、过程及结果。 第三段：简单总结 2.读文章，做检查 单词拼写、语法、替换重复的词汇等。三．流程图常用的表达 1. The flow chart illustrates the recycling process of _____. 2. The process of ____ involves the following steps. 3. The whole procedure of ___ can be categorised into ____ stages. 4. The row materials for ____ include ___, ___ and ____.
5. The first step is to ______. 6. ____ with ____ is prepared to _____. 7. ____ is used as ____ of ____. 8. _____ is mixed with ____ to produce _____. 9. _____ can change into ____, when ____. 10. The process of ____ is really a simple(complicated) process. The pictures below show the recycling process of wasted glass bottles.
雅思小作文流程图和地图题词汇 在雅思写作部分，A类小作文的流程图和地图题一直是雅思烤鸭们比较头痛的部分。此部分题型在构文方式并没有特别的技巧和特殊性。事实上，除了把握图形的分析方法和每种图形不同的解题方式外，考生最关注的应该是补充什么类的词汇做备考准备了。 大部分考生在市面上找不到专门的流程和地图备考书籍，而词汇书上也并不把流程地图的词汇专门划分复习，网络信息则把流程图和地图题的材料区分明确，使得考生找不到一个综合备考办法。 在本文中，成都/朗阁/培训中心的雅思专家们总结了综合完整的流程地图题词汇，提供给雅思烤鸭们完善的备考指引。以下的词条按照不同表达方式进行分类。 Part 1：表时间 流程图和地图题中都可能涉及时间表达。流程题中，使用较多的是过程时长的表述，而地图题的时间使用则体现为地理变迁的时间变化。一般在方位选址图题中较少出现。确切的时间指引，既增加文章的自然和连贯度，也能体现行文的精确性。 常见表示时间的词： in few hours几小时 during the period of …在…期间after 10 days 10天后 from…to 从…到… between …and 在…之间 over the…year period在一个…年期间5 years before 5年前a decade earlier几十年前from that moment on从那时起after a while一会 since自从 since then自从 finally最后 over the subsequent …years近连续几年 例句：The process lasts for up to 7 day s and the products are finally distributed to customers.
