IELTS Task 1 - Flowchart: Plastic paper clips production process

WRITING TASK 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The chart below shows the production process for coloured plastic clips.


Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.



The flowchart illustrates the production process of plastic paper clips in red, blue and yellow colours.

There are four main stages in producing plastic paper clips from this small factory. The first two stages prepare the clips, while the last two consists of quality control before the factory ships the clips to the retailers for selling.

The process begins with molten plastic poured into three different moulds depending on the colour required: red, blue, and yellow. Once these clips emerge from the moulds, the next stage employs a quality control machine to check for strength. Unsatisfactory clips are rejected and filtered out.

In the third stage, the clips are sorted by hand into two groups, mixed and single colours. When this stage is complete, the batches undergo rechecking to ensure that the colour mixtures are divided separately into single and mixed colour batches.

Finally, the clips are packed and despatched to the markets.
