BÀI MẪU

The diagram illustrates the process that is used to build an igloo from snow.

There are five main stages in this process, starting with finding an area covered by hard-
packed snow and culminating in covering the entrance hole with snow blocks.

As can be seen from the process, after a surface of hard-packed snow is found, a snow saw is
used to cut large blocks to the appropriate size to build the base. The edges of the blocks are
then smoothed with the saw and are placed in a circle, and a hole is dug under the wall to
make an entrance. Next, a slightly over-sized block is precisely shaped and placed on the top
of the igloo.

Out of the remaining steps, snow is shovelled onto the outside of the igloo and is packed into
all crevices while the internal surface of the igloo is smoothed by hand. Any excess snow is
also removed from the inside of the igloo. And finally, a hole is dug in the shape of the
entrance, and is then covered with snow blocks to complete the igloo.

The flow chart below shows the procedures to get driving license in the US

BÀI MẪU
The given diagram details the process of obtaining a driving license in the US.

In general, it can be seen that there are three tests that need to be passed in order to get a
driving license, which are, an eyesight test, a written theoretical examination, and a practical
driving examination.

The first thing one needs to do to get a driver’s license is to register in a driving license centre,
and fill out the appropriate forms. After that, an eyesight test is required. If the applicant
passes this test, he will carry on to the 2nd stage.

After paying the required fees, applicants will take a written test and will have two extra
chances to retake the test if they fail. Once the written exam is successfully passed, a practical
road exam will be carried out. It is obligatory to pass both exams to get the driver’s license.
However, if one fails the road examination, they can still get the license by paying the fees
again and reattempting both tests.

The maps below show the changes in a town after the construction of a hydroelectric power
dam

BÀI MẪU
The pictures illustrate a number of important changes which took place in a town after the
construction of a hydroelectric power dam.

From the maps, it is clear that the most noticeable change that occurred in the town was that
of a huge lake. Additionally, the forest and farmlands had completely disappeared by 2010.

In 1990, there was an ancient structure and a forest with rare flora and fauna to the west of
the river, and irrigated farmlands to the east. However, with the construction of a dam wall,
those features disappeared beneath a large lake, which also became a fishing area in 2010.

Looking at the maps in more detail, while the mountains still existed, the villages in the far
east were relocated further south of the mountains, and a large hotel was built in their place.
Meanwhile, a hydroelectric power dam was constructed with a wide range of electricity
pylons appearing nearby.

The pictures illustrate changes which have taken place in a particular art gallery from 2005 to
the present.

Overall, the layout of the art gallery has been significantly changed, particularly on the left-
hand side of the building. A number of existing features have been renovated and converted,
while a number of new facilities have been added to the building in general.

In 2005, there was a café and shop in the rear-left corner of the building. However, the café
has been removed and the room is now strictly a gallery shop. Meanwhile, the three
exhibition rooms on the right-hand side of the building remain unchanged, and a new lift has
been installed next to exhibition room 3, making the stairway to the upper floor smaller.

The gallery office, which was situated between exhibition room 4 and the old café, has also
been removed and the area is now occupied by three vending machines. Exhibition room 4
has now been divided into two different areas; a temporary exhibition room and a children’s
play area. Meanwhile, the reception desk has been moved closer to the centre of the entrance
hall, while a wheelchair ramp has been added to the front entrance.

The diagram below shows the production of olive oil

BÀI MẪU
The diagram illustrates the process by which olive oil is produced.

Overall, this is a step-by-step process that is comprised of seven stages, from the harvesting
of the mature fruit from olive trees, to the packaging and sale of the finished product.

Initially, ripe olives are harvested from trees by farmers and then taken to a rinsing machine
where they are washed in cold water. After being rinsed, the olives are transferred via
conveyor belt to another machine which grinds the olives to separate the fruit from the seeds.
During this stage, the olives are ground into a paste, and the olive stones are removed.

The olive paste is then placed in a type of perforated bag before being put through a pressing
machine, followed by another process where any excess water is separated from the oil. And
finally, the olive oil is packaged and delivered to shops where it can be sold.

The pictures show the changes of a park from 1980 to the present day

1980 Now

BÀI MẪU
The maps show changes in the layout of a park between 1980 and the present.
In general, the park is now more accessible and has several new facilities to serve different
recreational demands of the public.

In 1980, there was one pathway running through the park from the west gate to the south
gate. A number of trees were located in the north east, and flowers were planted along the
south wall. There was also a pond with several benches around it situated on the eastern side
of the park.

Between 1980 and now, the path was removed and replaced with a new path which leads to
all four sides of the park, and essentially divides it into four different areas. In the south
western corner, the pond and benches are still intact, but the flowers in that area have been
replaced with bushes. A new picnic area with tables and a barbecue grill has been set up in
the north eastern corner, while the southeastern corner is now a dedicated playing field.
