The diagram explains the way in which bricks are made for the building
industry.
Overall, there are seven stages in the process, beginning with the digging up
of clay and culminating in delivery.
To begin, the clay used to make the bricks is dug up from the ground by a
large digger. This clay is then placed onto a metal grid, which is used to break up
the clay into smaller pieces. A roller assists in this process.
Following this, sand and water are added to the clay, and this mixture is
turned into bricks by either placing it into a mould or using a wire cutter. Next,
these bricks are placed in an oven to dry for 24 – 48 hours.
In the subsequent stage, the bricks go through a heating and cooling process.
They are heated in a kiln at a moderate and then a high temperature (ranging from
200c to 1300c), followed by a cooling process in a chamber for 2 – 3 days. Finally,
the bricks are packed and delivered to their destinations.

The diagram explains the process for the making of chocolate.


Overall, there are a total of ten stages in the process, beginning with the
growing of the pods on the cacao trees and culminating in the production of the
chocolate.
To begin, the cocoa comes from the cacao tree, which is grown in the South
American and African continents and the country of Indonesia. Once the pods are
ripe and red, they are harvested and the white cocoa beans are removed. Following
a period of fermentation, they are then laid out on a large tray so they can dry
under the sun.
Next, they are placed into large sacks and delivered to the factory. They are
then roasted at a temperature of 350 degrees, after which the beans are crushed and
separated from their outer shell. In the final stage, this inner part that is left is
pressed and the chocolate is produced.

There are two diagrams showing industrial processes. The first shows the
production of cement, while the second shows the production of concrete.
Overall, it is apparent from the beginning of the second picture that cement is
used in the production of concrete, and so these images are linked as part of one
longer process to make concrete from a number of different materials.
In the diagram showing cement production, limestone and clay are tipped into
a crusher until they become powder. This powder is then fed into a mixer and then
later into a rotating heater. The resulting material is ground into cement, which is
then bagged in large sacks.
These bags of cement are poured into a concrete mixer with water, gravel, and
sand. This mixture must be carefully measured according to the percentages on the
diagram. The concrete mixer will combine the ingredients by rotating in order to
produce concrete.

The given diagram illustrates the process of plastic recycling.


Overall, there are essentially six stages in the plastic recycling process,
beginning with the buying, using and discarding of new plastic products and
ending with newly recycled products entering the market again.
In the first stage, new products displayed in shops are purchased, used and
thrown away. Plastic bags, along with other garbage, are sent and buried in landfill
sites. Plastic bottles and containers however, are collected for recycling. After
being gathered, the plastic bottles are then taken to sorting houses where they are
divided into different categories.
Once the plastic has been sorted, it is then loaded onto trucks and transported
to factories where it is processed and made into new plastic products. These new,
recycled plastic products are then finally distributed back to retail shops where
they are sold, reused and discarded once again, thereby continuing the process.

The diagram illustrates how glass bottles are recycled.


Overall, it is clear that there are three separate stages involved in the recycling
process, starting with the collection of wasted bottles and ending with new
products entering the market to be purchased.
In the initial stage, all glass bottles are stored in collection points from where
they are picked up and delivered by trucks to a cleaning plant. Here, the bottles are
washed with high pressure water, and then sorted according to color (clear, green
or brown) and prepared for the following stages.
The clean and sorted bottles are then transferred to a recycling plant, where
they are melted in a special glass furnace to turn the glass into liquid form. The
recycled liquid glass, along with new liquid glass, is then molded to form new
glass bottles. Finally, the new bottles are ready to be used and sent to supermarkets
where they will be purchased and used by customers, thereby completing the
process.
