1
00:00:01,330 --> 00:00:08,950
‫As I'm sure you can see in this lesson, we have another task, one modeled writing video for the visual

2
00:00:08,950 --> 00:00:14,290
‫information known as a process, or sometimes it's called a diagram.

3
00:00:15,070 --> 00:00:23,610
‫Now, this type of one question is definitely very different to graphs, charts, maps and tables.

4
00:00:24,130 --> 00:00:31,810
‫So there's a different style of writing that you must understand in order to score highly in task one

5
00:00:31,810 --> 00:00:33,100
‫process question.

6
00:00:33,970 --> 00:00:37,990
‫So we're going to talk about some of the differences and then, of course, you're going to watch me

7
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:41,660
‫write a full report for a process question.

8
00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:48,550
‫And first up, we're going to take a look at the paragraph structure that we will use for a process

9
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:49,180
‫question.

10
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:56,830
‫And I should start off by saying that it does pretty much largely remain the same as what you would

11
00:00:56,830 --> 00:00:58,810
‫do for any of the other task.

12
00:00:58,810 --> 00:00:59,930
‫One questions.

13
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:02,520
‫So we have our paraphrased introduction.

14
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:09,250
‫We have an overview which is slightly different to the charts and graphs overview that we would normally

15
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:09,760
‫write.

16
00:01:10,330 --> 00:01:14,340
‫And we have detailed paragraph one and detailed paragraph two.

17
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:21,430
‫So we're going to need to group the stages or the information that we can see in the process question

18
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,060
‫because then we can split our writing into detail.

19
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:26,650
‫Paragraph one and two.

20
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,320
‫In terms of the paraphrased introduction, I'd like to show you this opening sentence.

21
00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:40,090
‫Now, you can pretty much use this for any process question that you have.

22
00:01:40,090 --> 00:01:46,930
‫So in a sense, you're paraphrased introduction can almost certainly be this unless the question does

23
00:01:46,930 --> 00:01:51,070
‫say illustrate and then you could just change that word to display.

24
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,360
‫So let's read through.

25
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:58,260
‫The diagram illustrates the way in which a product is produced.

26
00:01:58,690 --> 00:02:06,880
‫Now, processes will generally have a finished product or task at the end, so this sentence will almost

27
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,500
‫certainly fit for you.

28
00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:13,720
‫OK, so what kind of features do I need to include?

29
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:18,340
‫As I did say, it's quite different to it, charts and graphs, questions.

30
00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:21,360
‫So what do we need to do for our process question?

31
00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:25,660
‫We're going to need to use time opener.

32
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:28,590
‫So sentence openers for sequencing.

33
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,070
‫And here's a few examples.

34
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:39,250
‫Firstly, after that, finally now we use time openers so that we can order the stages in the process

35
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:40,330
‫chronologically.

36
00:02:40,330 --> 00:02:49,390
‫So that means from the very start, from stage one right to the end, you'll also need to use the passive

37
00:02:49,390 --> 00:02:51,110
‫voice in your writing.

38
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:53,050
‫I'll come back to that in just a second.

39
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,590
‫Here's an example of a time opener.

40
00:02:56,290 --> 00:03:01,410
‫In the beginning, sawdust is added to a glue mixture to set.

41
00:03:01,540 --> 00:03:05,530
‫So that's just a quick example of using a time opener.

42
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:11,020
‫And you could see that that would be for the first stage of the process.

43
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:13,860
‫Okay, back to passive voice.

44
00:03:14,410 --> 00:03:18,090
‫Here is an example sentence using the passive voice.

45
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:23,010
‫The food is driven to local food shops.

46
00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:32,740
‫So we make the passive voice by using B or is and R plus the past participle, which in our example

47
00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:34,150
‫sentence is driven.

48
00:03:34,970 --> 00:03:41,050
‫Let's take a bit of a further look at passive voice as it is quite important for your report.

49
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:51,070
‫So we use the passive voice to focus on the process that the process of what is happening, not who

50
00:03:51,070 --> 00:03:52,030
‫is doing it.

51
00:03:53,230 --> 00:03:59,050
‫And again, it's the verb is or are past participle.

52
00:03:59,590 --> 00:04:08,050
‫So the passive voice is making your writing more about the action that is happening, not who is performing

53
00:04:08,050 --> 00:04:08,650
‫the action.

54
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:11,110
‫Here are a few examples.

55
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,870
‫So in black we have an active voice.

56
00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:23,530
‫Faries deliver gas to the main island and here I have changed the sentence structure round to create

57
00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:24,580
‫the passive voice.

58
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:34,420
‫Gas is delivered to the main island by ferries, so gas really is the action of what is happening.

59
00:04:34,420 --> 00:04:41,740
‫We are delivering gas and that has started at the start of my sentence and gas is delivered to the main

60
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:43,300
‫island by ferries.

61
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:45,940
‫Let's take a look at another example.

62
00:04:46,990 --> 00:04:52,900
‫A large machine separates the olives and oil so we can see that there.

63
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:56,140
‫Who is the large machine and the what is the olives?

64
00:04:56,140 --> 00:04:56,860
‫An oil.

65
00:04:57,460 --> 00:05:04,200
‫So to make that passive, I do the olives and oil are separated by a large machine.

66
00:05:04,780 --> 00:05:11,620
‫So in blue we have examples of passive voice and I'll be using lots of this in the modelled right shortly.

67
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:18,490
‫Coming up now, let's take a look at the question that I'll be writing the answer for.

68
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:29,780
‫The process below shows the main stages in a supply chain summarize the information by selecting and

69
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:34,850
‫reporting the main features and make comparisons, comparisons where relevant.

70
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:43,760
‫So taking a look at the information in the center of our process diagram, it reads supply chain management

71
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,450
‫and round the side this flexibility, quality and speed.

72
00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:54,800
‫So this is all about the process of a supply chain creating some kind of product and it seems to be

73
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,690
‫dealing with customers as well.

74
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,390
‫Let's take a look at the first stage.

75
00:05:59,390 --> 00:06:06,130
‫We have order logging and planning and then moves on to product design and development.

76
00:06:06,530 --> 00:06:14,230
‫We have procurement, then manufacturing, acceptance, logistics and support.

77
00:06:14,630 --> 00:06:21,140
‫So I would say that this really is quite a normal looking process diagram.

78
00:06:21,530 --> 00:06:28,430
‫We have seven stages and we can see quite clearly that there is a structure to what is happening.

79
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:34,280
‫So we begin with an order of something and then it finishes with some kind of customer support.

80
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,630
‫When you do get your process diagram, it's good to read through the question, just like I did, and

81
00:06:41,630 --> 00:06:48,650
‫then have a look at the diagram, try and find the title and then look at the stage one, look at the

82
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:55,550
‫end stage, read the middle stages and try and get a better understanding of what you are looking at.

83
00:06:56,210 --> 00:07:02,390
‫It's also important to note that sometimes the process diagrams might be a little bit confusing.

84
00:07:02,570 --> 00:07:08,380
‫You might not have a full understanding of what the process is.

85
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,460
‫That's perfectly fine.

86
00:07:10,470 --> 00:07:13,910
‫It's not a test of your understanding of the process.

87
00:07:14,210 --> 00:07:21,110
‫It's a test of you being able to order your writing and describe the information that you see.

88
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:30,530
‫So just remember that when you see these kinds of questions, OK, it's time for us to move on to our

89
00:07:30,530 --> 00:07:31,040
‫plan.

90
00:07:31,580 --> 00:07:36,200
‫Now, I did say that we still have these two detailed paragraphs.

91
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:42,980
‫So the four part structure remains the same paraphrased introduction, an overview and two detailed

92
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:43,720
‫paragraphs.

93
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,260
‫That does mean that I'm going to have to group my data.

94
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:50,480
‫I have seven stages.

95
00:07:50,750 --> 00:07:58,280
‫So logically, I'm going to split into four stages for one group and three for the other.

96
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,830
‫That seems to make the most sense to me.

97
00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:03,080
‫So let's begin.

98
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:12,860
‫Now, in a way, these kinds of plans for a process question are pretty easy to write, they shouldn't

99
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:20,360
‫take you too long as realistically you just need to write the stages that you will describe into your

100
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:20,750
‫plan.

101
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,430
‫So group one will be stages one to four.

102
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,860
‫So order logging and planning product is under development, procurement, manufacturing.

103
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:36,860
‫And then in group two, I'm going to describe stages five to seven.

104
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:45,080
‫So that's acceptance, logistics and support that will go in group two and will be described in my second

105
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,460
‫detailed paragraph.

106
00:08:48,260 --> 00:08:56,690
‫For the overview, we simply need to state what the first and the last stages are, and I'll show you

107
00:08:56,690 --> 00:08:58,040
‫how to write that in a moment.

108
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,730
‫But we've got all the logging and planning.

109
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:11,780
‫And we have support, so that will be my second short paragraph, the overview, which I'll just quickly

110
00:09:11,780 --> 00:09:17,780
‫say what the first and last stages are, and you can do that for every kind of process question.

111
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:26,090
‫OK, so group one stages one to four, which we have around here, and group two, we have stages five

112
00:09:26,210 --> 00:09:26,830
‫to seven.

113
00:09:27,230 --> 00:09:34,460
‫A review is stating that stage one or login and planning and last stages support.

114
00:09:34,810 --> 00:09:38,540
‫OK, so let's move on to writing this report.

115
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:48,270
‫OK, so as always, we begin with our paraphrased introduction and remember that I showed you the sentence,

116
00:09:48,270 --> 00:09:54,780
‫the diagram illustrates the way in which just check that the synonyms aren't going to match up.

117
00:09:54,780 --> 00:09:59,540
‫The language doesn't match up between my sentence for the introduction and the question.

118
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:06,870
‫So let's really question the process below shows the main stages in a supply chain so I can just type

119
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:08,910
‫this in exactly as I showed you.

120
00:10:09,270 --> 00:10:19,130
‫The diagram illustrates the way in which so let's have a think a product is produced.

121
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:24,690
‫So we are producing a product, some kind of pot, and then we sort of deliver and support.

122
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:28,830
‫So I might add a tiny bit to the sentence I showed you.

123
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:35,790
‫The diagram illustrates the way in which a product is produced.

124
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:46,420
‫And delivered with support, so we got the delivery and support added there, like I said, this opening

125
00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:51,940
‫sentence will pretty much work for anything, but just be ready to be slightly flexible in case you

126
00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:55,390
‫need to add something to make it fit even better.

127
00:10:55,930 --> 00:11:02,410
‫So the diagram illustrates the way in which a product is produced and delivered with support.

128
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,680
‫So we now need to move on to our overview.

129
00:11:05,950 --> 00:11:10,690
‫And as you probably remember, all our overviews can begin with overall.

130
00:11:11,890 --> 00:11:20,050
‫Overall, the supply chain management begins with.

131
00:11:23,020 --> 00:11:28,360
‫Begins with the order logging and planning stage.

132
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:40,250
‫The final part of the diagram is the support stage of our process.

133
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,440
‫So let's just quickly read our overview back.

134
00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:49,440
‫Overall, the supply chain management begins with the order logging.

135
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:56,320
‫Apologies for my spelling there and Teagues order logging and planning stage.

136
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:01,240
‫The final part of the diagram is the support stage of our process.

137
00:12:01,930 --> 00:12:02,780
‫Perfectly fine.

138
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,400
‫So it's now time for me to move on to our detailed paragraph.

139
00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:20,050
‫So our first group is stagers one to four, and quite simply to begin with, to begin with the supply

140
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:27,610
‫chain, the supply chain starts with order, logging and planning.

141
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:34,730
‫OK, so then we can use our next sequence in word, our time opener.

142
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:45,700
‫After that, we can move onto the product design and development stage.

143
00:12:46,060 --> 00:12:51,880
‫OK, so I'm trying not to use stage too often in my writing or it will become very repetitive.

144
00:12:53,890 --> 00:13:08,080
‫And quite simply, we can write next, materials and supplies are procured in order to create and build

145
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:13,830
‫the necessary product, the necessary product.

146
00:13:13,940 --> 00:13:16,570
‫OK, let's just have a quick read back to begin with.

147
00:13:16,570 --> 00:13:20,200
‫The supply chain starts with order, logging and planning.

148
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,880
‫After that, we can move onto the product design and development stage.

149
00:13:25,510 --> 00:13:33,160
‫Next, materials and supplies are procured and there we have an example of a passive sentence are procured

150
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,030
‫in order to create and build the necessary product.

151
00:13:38,780 --> 00:13:56,030
‫And if we say once all materials have been collected, our supply chain process moves into the manufacturing

152
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,530
‫stage of our diagram.

153
00:14:02,060 --> 00:14:03,440
‫Of our diagram.

154
00:14:03,770 --> 00:14:10,730
‫OK, so I'm not really giving much details of what might happen in eight stages, to be honest, I don't

155
00:14:10,730 --> 00:14:17,120
‫really know exactly what is being delivered or produced, but I can give an overall understanding.

156
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:24,410
‫And quite simply, I am just describing how we're moving from one stage to the next, using lots of

157
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,550
‫time opening language such as that to begin with.

158
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:29,450
‫And after that.

159
00:14:29,450 --> 00:14:30,170
‫And next.

160
00:14:30,860 --> 00:14:34,760
‫OK, let's move on to our second detailed paragraph.

161
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,390
‫Where Will will have acceptance, logistics and support.

162
00:14:39,530 --> 00:14:49,490
‫Let's have then the completed product must be accepted and assessed

163
00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:54,090
‫for acceptance.

164
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:59,660
‫So I assume at this stage in the process, the products being created and given to whoever it's been

165
00:14:59,660 --> 00:15:02,890
‫sold to, they accept it, OK.

166
00:15:02,930 --> 00:15:17,180
‫And after this, after hour, after the product's acceptance, acceptance, the product is shipped and

167
00:15:17,180 --> 00:15:28,820
‫delivered out to wherever it needs to be, to wherever it logistically needs to be, logistically needs

168
00:15:28,910 --> 00:15:30,470
‫to be.

169
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:33,230
‫And excuse my spelling again.

170
00:15:33,230 --> 00:15:39,640
‫I do find it quite difficult to do this whilst speaking logistically.

171
00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:43,790
‫OK, and here we have our final stage.

172
00:15:43,790 --> 00:15:58,100
‫So as for all these process questions, finally our supply chain moves into the support stage of the

173
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:04,950
‫process of the support stage of the process, and I think that's fine.

174
00:16:04,970 --> 00:16:09,320
‫So let's have a read back through that last detail paragraph.

175
00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:15,140
‫Then the completed product must be accepted and assessed for acceptance.

176
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,490
‫Quite a lot of A's there.

177
00:16:17,090 --> 00:16:23,120
‫After the product's acceptance, the product is shipped and delivered out to wherever it logistically

178
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,230
‫needs to be.

179
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,600
‫Finally, our supply chain moves into the support stage of the process.

180
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:36,620
‫I think I've given a pretty good writeup of what is happening in this whole process.

181
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,380
‫So let's go back to the start and read through.

182
00:16:40,730 --> 00:16:47,630
‫The diagram illustrates the way in which a product is produced and delivered with support.

183
00:16:48,740 --> 00:16:55,100
‫Overall, the supply chain management begins with the order logging and planning stage.

184
00:16:55,850 --> 00:17:00,710
‫The final part of the diagram is the support stage of our process.

185
00:17:01,010 --> 00:17:02,570
‫That's my overview there.

186
00:17:03,750 --> 00:17:08,370
‫To begin with, the supply chain starts with all the logging and planning.

187
00:17:09,690 --> 00:17:18,420
‫After that, we can move onto the product design and development stage next, materials and supplies

188
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:24,120
‫are procured in order to create and build the necessary product wants.

189
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:26,420
‫All materials have been collected.

190
00:17:26,670 --> 00:17:32,600
‫Our supply chain process moves into the manufacturing stage of our diagram.

191
00:17:33,870 --> 00:17:39,120
‫Then the completed product must be accepted and assessed for acceptance.

192
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:46,200
‫After the product's acceptance, the product is shipped and delivered out to wherever it logistically

193
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:46,980
‫needs to be.

194
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:53,190
‫Finally, our supply chain moves into the support stage of the process.

195
00:17:53,910 --> 00:17:58,140
‫So there's not a lot of extra information I'm giving.

196
00:17:58,140 --> 00:18:06,630
‫I'm just simply describing each of the stages from beginning to end in the process diagram that I have

197
00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:09,030
‫so important things to remember.

198
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:17,760
‫You definitely, definitely will need to use this for step structure and time openers to sequence and

199
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,870
‫time order the stages in the process question.

200
00:18:22,350 --> 00:18:25,700
‫You're also going to need to use the passive voice.

201
00:18:25,710 --> 00:18:28,560
‫So it's definitely worthwhile practicing that.

202
00:18:29,670 --> 00:18:30,800
‫See you in the next lesson.
