After having endless distractions and difficulty managing my timetable over a few days, I manage to prompt myself to write again. It is my second time doing a task 1 process practice, yet the hardest thing to be solved is still the same — sentence variation. Hence, it took a long time for me to do this while also trying to meet the minimum requirements of task 1 writing — answer the question and write at least 150 words.

This is my work, and hopefully, it will help you to know well about IELTS writing task 1. Feel free to correct and discuss this with me.

The pictures highlight the process by which olive oil is produced. There are seven stages in the diagram, from picking the olives to selling the bottles of olive oil.

First of all, the olives are picked from the trees. After being rinsed with cold water, the fruits are then carried by belt into the smashing device. Once the olives have been crushed into olive paste and olive stones, they are taken out from the machine with dissimilar pipes.

In order to sell the olive oil in the bottles, the first step is filling the olive paste into a bag with holes. When the bags filled with olive paste have been put into the prior machine, the second pressing process then is begun. The oil and water — as a result of the process — are separated using two different pipes, while the bottles are prepared as olive oil containers. Having been kept in storage for a while, the bottles of olive oil are then taken to stores, where they are put on the shelves to be sold.
