In this lecture, I'm going to be looking at another diagram.
However, it will involve handling a process type of question.
The process type of question normally involves some type of lifecycle process.
It could be an environmental process.
It can be how something is made, such as a brick or cement.
So let's go ahead and take a look at how to do a process type of question.
We have the same structure.
Introduction one or two sentences General Overview two or three sentences Specific detail paragraphs
2 to 3 sentences.
However, you know, my best advice is to do three sentences for each.
Let's go ahead and move forward with writing an introduction and general overview for a process question.
So in this one we have a house and the diagram below shows how a central heating system in a house works.
We have to summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons
where relevant.
So what I'm looking at this, I have to basically paraphrase the summary that you see above for the
general overview I'm looking at.
We have ten elements here, ten different elements, and we have these ten elements and there's a lot
of piping.
So I will use that information to write the introduction and the general overview, which is what I'll
do right now.
Okay.
And there we have an introduction and general overview that is written for this question type.
Right.
We have a two sentence introduction here and with the general overview I just mentioned that we have
ten different elements that are needed to work correctly.
We have a lot of piping and storage and heating capabilities.
So this is just a general overview, a general overview of how this is going, of how this works.
Now, when you're doing a process, don't overcomplicate it.
What they're really what they really are trying to see here is can you as an English student, be able
to take this information and create sentences, being able to look at direction sheets and being able
to create simple compound and complex sentences to describe the information.
Now I'm going to go ahead and move forward because actually what I'm going to do here is I'm going to
do another process question for you.
This is the first process question involving the House and the next process question.
We're going to do it with the life cycle of a frog, and I'm going to write the introduction and general
overview here.
Now for the general overview, I can see we have one, two, three, four, five, six stages that the
frog is going to go through.
We have two of those stages that are above ground and the other four stages are below the water.
So that's the kind of information that I would put inside of my general overview.
And then in terms of the specific detail, paragraphs three and four, we're just going through and
describing what we're seeing all the way from the stage of the eggs to adult frog hood to adulthood,
other fraud.
We have to really get into the details.
Don't be general, be very, very specific when you're doing paragraphs three and four.
So now I'll go ahead and write the introduction and general overview for this lifecycle of a frog.
Okay.
And there you have it.
You have an introduction and an overview for the life cycle of the frog is, as I told you, is divided
into two stages.
Some of them are below the water, two of the stages are above the water.
And we have actually a total of six steps in the process, right?
Six steps in the process.
There are different ways of describing it, different ways of saying it.
Here we have it in the full screen mode so you can take a look at it.
Again, this was the introduction for the diagram or the house, the process of the house piping, the
introduction and the general overview.
And then we have the introduction and general overview for the frog, for the frogs lifecycle process.
If you need to, you can pause the lecture to kind of read through it with more, read through it a
little bit more specifically at this time, I'm going to go ahead and move on to creating the specific
details paragraphs for the house process and the frog lifecycle process.
So I'll talk to you very, very soon.
