The diagram below shows the process for recycling plastic bottles.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main


features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The process diagram depicts the recycling process of plastic
bottles. It includes a total of nine steps in order to successfully recycle
this kind of waste.
First and foremost, the plastic bottles are to be thrown away in
designated bins intended for recycling. Then, a truck comes and picks up
those bins and transports the plastic trash to the recycling centre. After
that, the recycling centre sorts out the recyclable ones. The mouldable
plastic is then compressed into blocks which contain thousands of plastic
bottles. They are, later on, crushed and washed to convert into small
pieces of plastics. Afterwards, these tiny pieces are fed into a grinder-
like machine to create plastic pellets. Then, the pellets from the machine
are heated in order to form a type of raw material. At last, various final
products such as plastic food containers, clothes, reusable bags, pencils,
etc., are obtained from the processing of the raw material. Therefore, the
process of recycling plastic bottles is quite complex with exact nine
steps to complete.
The diagram illustrates the manufacture of the chocolate. A total of 10
simple steps is needed in order to acquire the final product.
The origin of the chocolate comes from a species called cacao tree
mainly grown in South America, Africa, and Indonesia. When the red
pods from the tree are ripe, they are harvested and the white cacao beans
in them are taken out. After that, the extracted beans are then fermented
on top of banana leaf in large amount before sun-drying them. The dried
beans are then put into large sacks and are transported to the chocolate
factory either by train or lorry. After the arrival, the beans are roasted
with a temperature of 350 degree Celsius. The fully roasted beans are
later crushed by a crushing machine until the outer shells are thoroughly
removed. As a final stage, the inner part is pressed against the rollers to
obtain dark-colored liquid which is the so-called famous ‘chocolate’.
This map depicts the current layout of the town and its proposed plan for
the future.
Overall, the new plan is most likely to be carried out for the purpose of
easier transportation.
What used to be an airfield will be replaced with an industrial estate,
joining the Railway and A2 street. There will be an additional
roundabout, which turns out to be slightly bigger than the one on A2
street, in the middle of the railway. Moreover, another street named A4
will be added as an extension of the former one. Currently, there is only
one street connecting to the Town center. However, in the proposed
plan, there will be two streets and one highway road leading to the town
center. Every place will be experiencing minor changes in the future.
The only exception is the gas station in the center, which will neither be
removed nor relocated in the future plan.
The map illustrates a dramatic change from a deserted island to a
fascinating tourist destination.
Overall, the 100 metres-long island has been renovated mainly for the
purpose of attracting visitors.
As seen from the map, cottages are set up evenly around the island as
means of accommodation. They can only be reached by walking along
the footpath. It can also be seen that the beach remains unchanged
except for the fact that swimming was not allowed before. Moreover,
they did not even relocated the trees, let alone cutting them down. In
addition, the only track for vehicles connects the restaurant, reception,
and the pier, all of which are newly constructed. Apart from those, all
other locations can only be on foot. As illustrated in the map, it is
relevant that the island has transformed into a preferable tourist
attraction which consists a wide range of facilities such as sailing and
swimming.
The two pie charts give detailed information about the difference in
energy production in two specific years: 1995 and 2005.
Looking from an overall perspective, the usage of coal and gas show a
slight growth in energy production while the other three experience quite
a significant change in percentage.
In the year 1995, coal, gas and petrol were almost equal in production of
energy with the percentage being around 29%. After a decade later, coal
and gas went up slightly to 30% while petrol had a huge drop by 10%. It
can also be seen that the ratio of nuclear production in 1995 was 6.40%
and gradually increased up to 10%. Other materials reached a percentage
of 9.10 from 4.90 which is two times of the value in 1995 in a period of
ten years. To conclude, coal and gas covered most of the energy
production section than any other sources.
The bar graph illustrates the percentage of each nation’s population
using the internet while the pie chart depicts the average amount of
money people from those five countries spend on online shopping.
Overall, it can be observed that the usage of internet in Sweden is
significantly the highest among the five. However, in terms of online
shopping, UK takes the lead.
From the bar graph, percent of internet users peaks at 35, followed by
UK with its 20 percent. Germany and France’s internet users reach 15%
and 10% respectively whereas only 5 percent of citizens in Spain surf
the Internet.
According to the pie chart, each person spends an average of 87 euros
for internet shopping in UK, followed closely by Sweden with its people
each spending around 76 euros. The German and French spend 46 and
57 euros individually. The Spanish hit rock bottom with only spending
10 euros per person.
The line graph demonstrates the variations in food consumption by
Chinese individuals in consumption over the period of 25 years from
1985 to 2010. The units are measured in grams per person a week.
First of all, it can be seen that the citizens of China like the flavor of fish
more than anything else. The trend started off as the highest at 600
grams and proceeded to increase steadily. Initially, meat was consumed
at the lowest rate. However, it then rose up and stood at the same ratio as
salt at the end of the observed years. It rose from around 150 grams per
person to around 200 grams. A sharp downfall for salt consumption was
noticeable in the given line graph. It plummeted from 500 grams to a
lowest of 200 grams by the year 2010.
Overall, it is visible from the graph that fish possessed the highest
percentage of consumers within China.
