The diagrams* below show how glass containers, such as bottles, are produced and
recycled.!

*Please note:
A diagram question would normally show pictures to help you understand the steps. I omitted
pictures from the above question, so it would be more accurate to use the term “flow chart” instead

of “diagram”. However, I’ll continue to use “diagram” because most IELTS questions of this type do

Here’s the report that I wrote in the video lesson:!
!
The first flow diagram illustrates the process of glass container production, and the second
diagram shows steps in the process of recycling used glass.!
!
We can see that glass is made using three main raw materials, and that the manufacturing process
consists of four distinct stages. It requires five steps to turn used glass into new glass products.!
!
At the first stage in the production of glass, sand, soda ash, limestone and other chemicals are
mixed together. Next, this mixture is heated in a glass furnace at approximately 1500℃ to produce
molten glass. The molten glass can then be shaped, by blowing, to create the end products,
namely glass containers.!
!
Glass recycling begins with the collection of used glass products. The collected glass is sorted
according to its colour, and then washed in order to remove any impurities. At the fourth stage of
recycling, the glass is crushed and melted, and the resulting molten glass can finally be moulded to
create new items.!
