Overall, the flow chart consists of three main stages, starting from collecting used aluminum cans to delivering them back to drinks machines after being recycled. The first stage involves the collection of discarded cans at a specialized centre, where they are separated into two categories, namely steel! and aluminum. After that, cans made from the latter material are transported to a recycling centre. The second stage starts at the recycling plant. Firstly, the transported cans are pressed down to form cube-shaped blocks, which are then melted down and new aluminium is produced. In the next step, by using new aluminum as a raw material an aluminum roll is made. In the last stage, the process of manufacturing new cans out of the aluminum roll begins and these cans are then distributed to drinks machines. Finally, the used cans are once again gathered in the collection center and the cycle starts over again. tt IELTS ZONEDay 2 Sample Answer Task 2: Full Report Practice You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

All in all, this process is comprised of three stages from transporting flour, adding special ingredients to sealing the ready instant noodles. At the beginning of the process, flours transported to the storage silos with the help of a special transport, where it is kept for future production needs. The second stage starts with the manufacturing process. Firstly, the flour is fed into the mixer that blends it with two other ingredients, namely water and oil. The resulting mixture, the ready dough, is placed on special rollers in order to stretch it into dough sheets. The next step involves a special cutting machine producing dough strips from the dough sheets. Following this, the dough strips are made into noodles disks, which are cooked in oil and dried before put into special cups. In the final part of the production process, vegetables and species are added, and the cups with the ready- made products are labeled and sealed. tt IELTS ZONEDay 2 Sample Answer Task 3: Full Report Practice You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches. Salmon begin life as eggs on a pebbly riverbed, hidden among reeds in the slow-moving upper reaches of a river. After five to six months the eggs hatch into ‘fry’. For approximately the next four years, these baby salmon will live in the lower, faster-flowing waters of their river. During this time they measure between three and eight centimetres in length. By the time salmon reach twelve to fifteen centimetres, they are termed ‘smolt’, and at this time they migrate further downriver into the open sea. After five years at sea the salmon will have grown to adult size, which is between seventy and seventy-six centimetres. They then begin swimming back to their birthplace, where they will lay their eggs, and the cycle starts anew. In summary, the salmon passes through three distinct physical stages as it grows to maturity. Each of these stages takes place in a very different aquatic location. It is noteworthy that the first two stages of this fish's life occur in a freshwater environment, while the third stage is lived in saltwater. tt IELTS ZONE
