Today we are going to work on the art of writing about a process. On the IELTS exam, for the Writing Task 1, you will sometimes get a diagram showing a process. The type of essay you have to write is different than a normal Task 1 essay, because you will have to use both a different structure for your essay (Introduction Description), and you will need to use a different type of language - the language of order and succession.

Let's start with a few simple practice activities.

1) Process Practice 01

2) Process Practice 02

3) Process Practice 03

4) Process Practice 04
