Writing Task 1 Processes - Manufacturing
Exercise 1:
a) Look at the adverbs and time expressions in the box:
Initially, Directly after this, Eventually
Frequently, Once the cycle is complete, At this stage,
Soon, At the beginning of the cycle, In time,
Typically, Over time, Finally,
Write the expressions in the box in the correct place in the table:
At the start After a short time After a long time
At the beginning of the cycle, Soon, Over time,
Initially, Directly after this,
At the same time Usually happens At the end
At this stage, Typically, Finally,
In time, Frequently, Eventually,
Once the cycle is complete,
b) The diagram below shows the lifecycle of a frog, from egg to adult.

c) Look at the pictures. Write a sentence about each one.
Remember to use the present tense.
At the beginning of the cycle, eggs are laid in the pool, often
in clusters.
Soon, tadpoles are transformed into embryos with gills and a
tail.

After that, the spawns are hatched and called tadpoles.
Frequently, the tadpoles grow larger in size. In time, the tails
begin to develop quickly.
At this stage, frogs undergo significant changes in the
development of their legs.

As they continue to grow, the frogs’ arms begin to develop.
During this time, they leave the water and start living on the
ground.
Eventually, frogs further develop their limbs, and their tails
are reduced to adapt to a life outside of water.
Once the cycle is complete, they finally transform into adult
frogs, capable of living both on land and in water.

Exercise 2:
Now, write 150 words describing the diagram.
● use the present tense
● use the passive voice where appropriate
● use the adverbs and time expressions
The diagram illustrates the different steps involved in the development of a frog.
Overall, there are stages that a frog must go through, which are encompassed most of the first 5 stages
are performed underwater and the last 3 on the land.
At the beginning of the cycle, eggs are laid in a pool, often in clusters. Soon, tadpoles are transformed
into embryos with gills and a tail. After that, the spawns are hatched and called tadpoles. Frequently,
the tadpoles grow larger in size, and the tails begin to develop quickly. At this stage, frogs undergo
significant changes in the development of their legs.
As they continue to grow, the frogs’ arms begin to develop. During this time, they leave the water and
start living on the ground. Eventually, frogs further develop their limbs, and their tails are reduced to
adapt to a life outside of water. Once the cycle is complete, they finally transform into adult frogs,
capable of living both on land and in water.
