Process

#22 The diagram below shows the stages and equipment used in the
cement-making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for
building purposes. (Band 8.0)

Examiner’s suggestions:

1. “The perfect overall summary would be to tell me the number of steps and
materials for each process.”

2. I think these could be written more elegantly:

“The first diagram, cement production, starts with…”
“The second illustration, concrete production, involves four components..”

3. You could consider paraphrasing some of the percentages:

25% = a quarter
50% = half

two steps in the production of concrete which involves /kəmˈpəʊ.nənt/

The first diagram, cement production, starts with crushing

limestone and clay to form powder. Then, this powder is crush = grind /krʌʃ/

mixed before being passed into a rotating heater to be

heated at a high temperature. After that, the mixture is
ground to produce cement. Finally, the finished cement is ground = V3 of grind

packaged into bags. finished = completed, final

The second illustration, concrete production, involves four

components including 15% of cement, 10% of water, a involve = include /ɪnˈvɒlv/
quarter of sand, and half of gravel are put into a concrete
mixer, and this equipment rotates to blend the materials
inside together. The finished concrete made from this
process can be used for constructing purposes.
